Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1998
Although asthma is considered to be an inflammatory disease of the airways, neural mechanisms remain very important. Neural control of airways is far more complex than has been previously recognized. In addition to the classic neural pathways, the nonadrenergic, noncholinergic pathway has been described in the airways of animals and humans ...

International Urology and Nephrology, 1989
Following a review of the literature for non-cholinergic, non-adrenergic mechanisms that are assumed to play a part in regulating the function of the lower urinary tract, some methods of neuropeptide research are described to determine the actual distribution and concentration of these substances.

Neuropeptides and psychopathology
Endeavour, 1980Abstract Although the adaptive processes of animals are under the control of the central nervous system there is clear evidence of the involvement also of hormones produced by the endocrine glands. It further appears that the effect may not depend on the whole hormone molecule but on only a part of it, known as a neuropeptide.

Cnidarians are the lowest animal group having a nervous system. In the primitive nervous systems of cnidarians, peptides play important roles as neurotransmitters or neurohormones. So far, we have isolated and sequenced about 35 neuropeptides from different cnidarian classes (Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Anthozoa).

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1995
Neuropeptides are a heterogeneous group of more than 50 molecules that play a role in various cutaneous functions and diseases; they act as neuromodulators, neurotransmitters, neurohormones, and hormones. In the skin, neuropeptides are synthesized locally (i.e., in keratinocytes and in endothelial cells) and are transported by nerve fibers or immune ...

Neuropharmacology, 2000
The present article provides a brief overview of various aspects on neuropeptides, emphasizing their multitude and their wide distribution in both the peripheral and central nervous system. Interestingly, neuropeptides are also expressed in various types of glial cells under normal and experimental conditions.

[5] Microisolation of neuropeptides
1983Publisher Summary This chapter describes a general methodology that applied to isolate neuroendocrine peptides; specific examples are presented to illustrate the methods used. This approach involves: (a) the efficient extraction of peptides from tissues, (b) pre-HPLC concentration and peptide purification, and (c) preparative and analytical HPLC ...

Metamorphosin A is a neuropeptide
Roux's Archives of Developmental Biology, 1995A novel biologically active peptide (metamorphosin A, MMA, pEQPGLW.NH2) has recently been described. It was isolated from Anthopleura elegantissima and triggers metamorphosis in Hydractinia echinata. Antibodies directed against the C-terminal part of the molecule immunohistochemically stain neurosensory cells and processes in the anterior part of ...

Brain damage as a result of hyperthermia or heat-stress has been the focus of attention in many areas of neuroscience in recent years. Heat-induced alterations in structural components of the central nervous system (CNS) will obviously also influence the relevant transmitter systems, which may be involved in a variety of different behaviors.

Biotransformation of Neuropeptides
Neuroendocrinology, 1984The ability of neuropeptides to act as precursors for smaller, biologically active fragments is discussed in terms of their biotransformation. This process may involve cleavage of the parent peptide by peptidase enzymes to produce shorter polypeptides with defined biological activity, though other enzymic processes such as sulphation and acetylation ...
