Neuropeptides

Neurosurgical Review, 1991
This review summarizes the revolutionary impact of brain peptides on our understanding of the nervous system and then discusses the localization, distribution, synthesis, receptor sites, and possible function of 32 brain peptides. The peptides are discussed in three subgroups: I) the opioid peptides, which include beta-endorphin, the enkephalins, and ...

Secretin as a Neuropeptide

Molecular Neurobiology, 2002
The role of secretin as a classical hormone in the gastrointestinal system is well-established. The recent debate on the use of secretin as a potential therapeutic treatment for autistic patients urges a better understanding of the neuroactive functions of secretin.

Neuropeptides and Asthma

Allergy & Clinical Immunology International - Journal of the World Allergy Organization, 1990
Many neuropeptides have recently been identified in human and animal airways. These peptides have potent effects on airway caliber, blood vessels, and secretions, raising the possibility that they may be involved in airway diseases such as asthma. Vasoactive intestinal peptide and peptide histidine methionine are potent bronchodilators and may be ...

Neuropeptides

American Journal of Rhinology, 1998
Sensory, parasympathetic, and sympathetic nerves innervate many structures in airways. The anatomy, histology, and function of these nerves and their varied neurotransmitters will be reviewed. Changes that may contribute to the pathophysiology of allergic, viral, and nonallergic rhinitis will be described.
