Function and Distribution of the Wamide Neuropeptide Superfamily in Metazoans

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
The Wamide neuropeptide superfamily is of interest due to its distinctive functions in regulating life cycle transitions, metamorphic hormone signaling, and several aspects of digestive system function, from gut muscle contraction to satiety and fat ...

Elevated sea temperature combined with dietary methionine levels affect feed intake and appetite-related neuropeptide expression in the brains of juvenile cobia (Rachycentron canadum)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
This study aimed to determine the impact of elevated temperature combined with different levels of dietary methionine concentrations on feed intake (FI) and brain expression of selected neuropeptides and one receptor involved in appetite control in ...

Coleoptera genome and transcriptome sequences reveal numerous differences in neuropeptide signaling between species

PeerJ, 2019
Background Insect neuropeptides are interesting for the potential their receptors hold as plausible targets for a novel generation of pesticides. Neuropeptide genes have been identified in a number of different species belonging to a variety of insects ...

CGRP and Migraine: What Have We Learned From Measuring CGRP in Migraine Patients So Far?

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
The multi-functional neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a major role in the pathophysiology of migraine. The detection of elevated CGRP levels during acute migraine headache was the first evidence of the importance of the peptide ...

Detection of circulating tumor DNA in colorectal cancer patients using a methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed a cost‐effective methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex assay containing tissue‐conserved and tumor‐specific methylation markers. The assay can detect circulating tumor DNA with high accuracy in patients with localized and metastatic colorectal cancer.

Somatostatin does not attenuate intestinal injury in dextran sodium sulphate-induced subacute colitis

Mediators of Inflammation, 1998
From several in vitro and in vivo studies involvement of som atostatin (SMS) in intestinal inflammation emerge. Acute colitis induced in rats is attenuated by the long-acting SMS analogue octreotide.
