A New Hope for Woman with Vasomotor Symptoms: Neurokinin B Antagonists. [PDF]

J Clin Med
KNDy (kisspeptine, neurokinin B, dynorphin) neurons, located in the hypothalamus, play a crucial role in the development of vasomotor symptoms (VSM) in menopausal women.

Harnessing the Anti-Nociceptive Potential of NK2 and NK3 Ligands in the Design of New Multifunctional μ/δ-Opioid Agonist–Neurokinin Antagonist Peptidomimetics

Molecules, 2021
Opioid agonists are well-established analgesics, widely prescribed for acute but also chronic pain. However, their efficiency comes with the price of drastically impacting side effects that are inherently linked to their prolonged use.

Serum levels of neurokinin B in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and intestinal lesions after COVID-19

Gastroenterologìa, 2023
Background. The study of neuropeptides, including substance P, neurokinins, may reveal possible mechanisms of the progression of gastrointestinal lesions with the formation of motility disorders in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 ...

Opioidergic pathways and kisspeptin in the regulation of female reproduction in mammals

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Endogenous opioid peptides have attracted attention as critical neuropeptides in the central mechanism regulating female reproduction ever since the discovery that arcuate dynorphin neurons that coexpress kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB), which are also

Substance p immunoreactivity exhibits frequent colocalization with kisspeptin and neurokinin B in the human infundibular region. [PDF]

, 2013
Neurons synthesizing neurokinin B (NKB) and kisspeptin (KP) in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus represent important upstream regulators of pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurosecretion.

Morphological evidence for enhanced kisspeptin and neurokinin B signaling in the infundibular nucleus of the aging man. [PDF]

, 2012
Peptidergic neurons synthesizing kisspeptin (KP) and neurokinin B (NKB) in the hypothalamic infundibular nucleus have been implicated in negative sex steroid feedback to GnRH neurons. In laboratory rodents, testosterone decreases KP and NKB expression in

Kisspeptin Restores Pulsatile LH Secretion in Patients with Neurokinin B Signaling Deficiencies:Physiological, Pathophysiological and Therapeutic Implications [PDF]

, 2012
Pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is crucial to normal reproductive function and abnormalities in pulse frequency give rise to reproductive dysfunction.

Tachykinin neuropeptides in cerebellar granule neurons: an immunocytochemical study

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
We previously demonstrated that exogenously administered neurokinin A and neurokinin B, but not substance P, increased the sensitivity of cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) to glutamate.

Mechanism of kisspeptin neuron synchronization for pulsatile hormone secretion in male mice

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: The mechanism by which arcuate nucleus kisspeptin (ARNKISS) neurons co-expressing glutamate, neurokinin B, and dynorphin intermittently synchronize their activity to generate pulsatile hormone secretion remains unknown.

The possible link between the elevated serum levels of neurokinin A and anti-ribosomal P protein antibodies in children with autism

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2011
Background Neurogenic inflammation is orchestrated by a large number of neuropeptides. Tachykinins (substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B) are pro-inflammatory neuropeptides that may play an important role in some autoimmune neuroinflammatory ...
