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.

Neuropeptides are, by definition, small amino acid components that are localized to neurons. Originally described in the gastrointestinal tract, neuropeptides were first termed “gut hormones.” Subsequently, the same peptides were also found in the brain and were termed “gut-brain hormones.” It is now apparent, however, that these peptides are present ...

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 ...

The hypothalamus and other brain regions that control energy homeostasis contain neuronal populations that produce specific neuropeptides which have experimental effects on feeding behavior and body weight. Here, we describe examples of neuropeptides that exert 'anabolic' effects, notably stimulation of feeding and increased body weight. Neuropeptide Y

In the rat parotid gland, an atropine-resistant parasympathetic-nerve-evoked secretion was demonstrated in vivo. In the absence of atropine, the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic transmitter release seemed to contribute to the fluid secretion and to be largely responsible for the secretion of amylase and acinar secretory granules.
