Alpha‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide prevents pressure‐overload induced heart failure: role of apoptosis and oxidative stress

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2019
Alpha‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide (α‐CGRP) is a 37‐amino acid neuropeptide that plays an important protective role in modulating cardiovascular diseases.

Transcriptome analysis reveals salivary gland-specific neuropeptide signaling genes in the predatory stink bug, Picromerus lewisi

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Predatory stink bugs derive from phytophagous stink bugs and evolved enhanced predation skills. Neuropeptides are a diverse class of ancient signaling molecules that regulate physiological processes and behavior in animals, including stink bugs ...

Neuropeptides in platyhelminths

open access: yesParasitology, 1991
The neuropeptide story began in 1928 with the description by Ernst Scharrer of gland-like nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the minnow,Phoxinus laevis.Because these nerve cells were overwhelmingly specialized for secretory activity, overshadowing other neuronal properties, Scharrer termed them ‘neurosecretory neurons’.

ASICs and neuropeptides [PDF]

open access: yesNeuropharmacology, 2015
The acid sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated cation channels expressed throughout the nervous system. ASICs are activated during acidic pH fluctuations, and recent work suggests that they are involved in excitatory synaptic transmission. ASICs can also induce neuronal degeneration and death during pathological extracellular acidosis caused by

The Role of Hypothalamic Neuropeptides in Regulation of Liver Functions in Health and Disease

open access: yesEndocrines, 2023
The communication between brain and peripheral tissues is mediated by neuropeptides that coordinate the functions of each organ with the activities of the entire body in specific environmental conditions.

Neuropeptides and pain [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of General Psychiatry, 2010
Neuropeptides comprise a diverse group of chemically distinct molecules, contained in and released from a range of sensory nerves. They are involved in the formation, transmission, modulation and perception of all types of pain (physiological, neuropathic and inflammatory). This fact is reflected on their wide distribution, from primary sensory neurons

Involvement of Neuropeptide Galanin Receptors 2 and 3 in Learning, Memory and Anxiety in Aging Mice

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
The neuropeptide galanin (GAL), which is expressed in limbic brain structures, has a strong impact on the regulation of mood and behavior. GAL exerts its effects via three G protein-coupled receptors (GAL1–3-R). Little is known about the effects of aging
