NPY Levels In Type 1 Diabetic Men of Different Duration. [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the different duration of type 1 diabetes mellitus influences basal NPY secretion. Design: The NPY concentrations were measured in sixty-eight men with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus ...

A quantitative study of neurochemically-defined populations of inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn of the mouse spinal cord [PDF]

, 2017
Around a quarter of neurons in laminae I-II of the dorsal horn are inhibitory interneurons. These play an important role in modulating somatosensory information, including that perceived as pain or itch.

Electrocatalytic Dehydrogenative Lactonization of Benzylic Alcohols: A Sustainable Access to Phthalides via N‐hydroxyphthalimide Mediation

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, EarlyView.
A mild, scalable electrocatalytic method for direct lactonization of benzylic alcohols to phthalides using N‐hydroxyphthalimide as a redox mediator is reported. This metal‐free process proceeds via a phthalimide‐N‐oxyl‐mediated hydrogen atom transfer mechanism, shows broad scope with good to excellent yields, and enables late‐stage functionalizations ...

Transcriptomic identification of starfish neuropeptide precursors yields new insights into neuropeptide evolution

Open Biology, 2016
Neuropeptides are evolutionarily ancient mediators of neuronal signalling in nervous systems. With recent advances in genomics/transcriptomics, an increasingly wide range of species has become accessible for molecular analysis.

Overexpression of the Gene Encoding Neurosecretory Protein GL Precursor Prevents Excessive Fat Accumulation in the Adipose Tissue of Mice Fed a Long-Term High-Fat Diet

Molecules, 2021
We previously identified a novel small hypothalamic protein, neurosecretory protein GL (NPGL), which induces feeding behavior and fat accumulation in rodents depending on their diet.

Synergistic Modulation of Microglial Polarization by Acteoside and Ferulic Acid via Dual Targeting of Nrf2 and RORγt to Alleviate Depression‐Associated Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning‐directed phytochemical pair ACT/FA, administered at BDD's orthodox ratio, synergistically modulates microglial polarization via dual Nrf2/RORγt targeting to attenuate neuroinflammation and depressive behaviors. This concentration‐dependent synergism replicates the parent formula's efficacy while providing a mechanistic basis for ...

A Comparative Study of Two Blast-Induced Traumatic Brain Injury Models: Changes in Monoamine and Galanin Systems Following Single and Repeated Exposure

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Repeated mild blast-induced traumatic brain injury (rmbTBI), caused by recurrent exposure to low levels of explosive blast, is a significant concern for military health systems. However, the pathobiology of rmbTBI is currently poorly understood.

Nociceptive Nerve‐Derived CGRP Exacerbates Uterine Fibrogenesis in Adenomyosis by Promoting CD140b+ CD146+ Fibroblast Differentiation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates adenomyosis fibrosis in relation to nociceptive nerves. Nociceptive nerve‐secreted CGRP promotes RAMP1hi CD140b+ CD146+ fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblasts through ERK activation, causing severe fibrosis. Rimegepant‐induced CGRP/RAMP1 signaling blockade alleviates fibrosis and restores fertility in a mouse model. This

Modality-specific sensory integration and neuropeptide-mediated feedback facilitate mechano-nociceptive behavior in Drosophila

Nature Neuroscience, 2017
Nociception is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism to encode and process harmful environmental stimuli. Like most animals, Drosophila melanogaster larvae respond to a variety of nociceptive stimuli, including noxious touch and temperature, with ...
