Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 1983
A number of neuropeptides have been found to affect fluid intake when injected directly into the brain of various vertebrate species. These include: angiotensin II and its peptide precursors; the tachykinins Substance P, eledoisin and physalaemin; the opioid peptides met- and leu-enkephalin and beta-endorphin; bombesin; neurotensin; and vasopressin ...

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 ...

Neuropeptides are small proteins produced by neurons that act on G protein-coupled receptors and are responsible for slow-onset, long-lasting modulation of synaptic transmission. Neuropeptides often coexist with each other or with other neurotransmitters in single neurons.

The use of well-characterized antibodies raised to neuronal signal substances and their application through immunocytochemistry and confocal scanning laser microscopy has revolutionized studies of the flatworm nervous system (NS). Data about flatworm neuropeptides and the spatial relationship between neuropeptides and other neuronal signal substances ...

Neuropeptide Y and human pancreatic polypeptide stimulate feeding behavior in rats.
Endocrinology, 1984Observations that a pancreatic polypeptide-like substance, possibly neuropeptide Y, is present in hypothalamic areas and may coexist with catecholamines prompted evaluation of its role in controlling feeding behavior.

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 ...

Nutrition, 2000
This review focuses on the expression, content, and release of neuropeptides and on their role in the development of obesity in animal models with single-gene mutations. The balance between neuropeptides that contribute to the control of feeding behavior is profoundly and variously altered in these models, supporting the concept of the existence of ...

Neurologic Clinics, 1986
There are four lines of evidence for or against a role of neuropeptides in epilepsy: Administration of a variety of opiate agonists into the ventricles or brain of animals produces a constellation of electrical and behavioral changes, seemingly receptor-specific, both sensitive to the specific opiate antagonist naloxone as well as certain ...

Brain and Development, 1985
In recent years, there has been a remarkable increase in the identification of neuropeptides. These peptides have become known as neuropeptides, as they have been identified within neuronal structures and frequently localised to nerve terminals. Classification of newly discovered peptides is attempted according to function or structure.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1987
Our studies have clearly shown that neuropeptides have a profound effect on immunoglobulin synthesis both in vivo and in vitro. The effects varied according to the neuropeptide added or the tissue from which the lymphocytes were obtained. Substance P caused the most pronounced enhancement of both functions, especially in Peyer's patch cells, where it ...
