Neuropeptide Y protects cerebral cortical neurons by regulating microglial immune function

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2014
Neuropeptide Y has been shown to inhibit the immunological activity of reactive microglia in the rat cerebral cortex, to reduce N-methyl-D-aspartate current (INMDA) in cortical neurons, and protect neurons. In this study, after primary cultured microglia

Differential roles of EA‐TRAPed cells in the anterior cingulate cortex across various intervention times in inflammatory pain

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The cumulative effect of EA analgesia is partially attributed to the activation of EA‐TRAPed cells in ACC. Multiple EA sessions and single EA sessions activated different neuronal populations in the ACC. The enhanced analgesic effect of multiple EA sessions may be attributed to an increase in the proportion of GABAergic neurons within the ACC. Abstract

Multiparameter behavioral profiling reveals distinct thermal response regimes in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BackgroundResponding to noxious stimuli by invoking an appropriate escape response is critical for survival of an organism. The sensations of small and large changes in temperature in most organisms have been studied separately in the context of ...

Zweikanal‐Fluoreszenz‐Assays mit supramolekularen Wirt/Farbstoff‐Reporterpaaren zur Kartierung der Membranaktivität von Peptiden

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Membranaktive Peptide (MAPs) wie zellpenetrierende Peptide (CPPs) und antimikrobielle Peptide (AMPs) können Lipidmembranen durchdringen und Membranporen bilden. Die Kombination aus einem Farbstoff‐Efflux‐Assay und einem supramolekularen Tandem‐Membran‐Assay in einem Zweikanalformat ermöglicht eine fortgeschrittene mechanistische Charakterisierung und ...

Dual‐Channel Fluorescence Assays with Supramolecular Host‐Dye Reporter Pairs for Membrane Activity Mapping of Peptides

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Membrane‐active peptides (MAPs) such as cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs) and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can translocate across lipid membranes and create membrane pores. The combination of a dye efflux and a supramolecular tandem membrane assay in a dual‐channel format enables an advanced mechanistic characterization and an exploration of the ...

Hypnotic doses of fazamorexant induced less impairment on balance and cognition than zolpidem in healthy younger and elderly individualse

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Fazamorexant is a dual orexin receptor antagonist being developed for the treatment of insomnia. This study aims to determine the dose‐exposure‐response relationship of single‐dose fazamorexant vs. zolpidem in young adult and elderly healthy Chinese volunteers. Methods This single‐centre, randomized, double‐blind, double‐dummy, placebo‐ and active‐

Antidepressant-like effects induced by galanin 2/neuropeptide Y Y1 heterodimers in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Previously, we have described the Galanin (GAL) and Neuropeptide Y Y1 (NPYY1) interactions through GAL receptor 2 and NPYY1 receptor 1 (GALR2/NPYY1R) heterodimers in the Dentate Gyrus (DG) of the Hippocampus, using autoradiographic, in situ ...

Oxytocin Effects on Food Stimulus Processing and Food Intake in Females With or Without Binge Eating Disorder

open access: yesInternational Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Binge eating disorder (BED) is maintained by increased food‐related incentive salience, which is reflected by an attentional bias for food. Oxytocin acutely attenuates this bias in patients with anorexia nervosa and reduces food intake in males with normal or increased body weight.
