Diving Deeper Into Mechanisms of Acrylamide‐Induced Toxicity: RNA Sequencing Reveals Transcriptomic Alteration and Retrotransposon Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.

Human neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor antisense oligodeoxynucleotide specifically inhibits neuropeptide Y-evoked vasoconstriction

, 1993
This paper describes a new approach for the development of an inhibitor of the contractile responses of neuropeptide Y in human blood vessels by the use of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide complementary to human neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor mRNA.

Research Progress on Upper Airway Cough Syndrome

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) has been identified as a significant contributor to chronic cough in various national guidelines. However, the complexity of its pathogenesis, the lack of clarity surrounding its diagnostic criteria, and its overlap with other etiologies of chronic cough present considerable challenges in both diagnosis and ...

Comorbidity Patterns Between Hearing Loss and Symptomatic Dizziness in Middle‐Aged and Older Adults

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the comorbidity patterns between hearing loss and symptomatic dizziness (HL‐SD) in middle‐aged and older adults. Methods This cross‐sectional study used data from the 1999 to 2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). After excluding incomplete data, 2961 participants aged 40–69 were analyzed. Logistic

Neuropeptide Y and truncated neuropeptide Y analogs evoke histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells. A direct effect on G proteins?

, 1994
Several regulatory peptides, including neuropeptide Y, can release histamine from mast cells. In the present study we investigated which parts of the neuropeptide Y molecule are required to evoke the release of histamine from isolated rat peritoneal mast

Broadening the View: Substance P and Its Metabolism in Pruritus‐Related Diseases

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic pruritus is a debilitating symptom accompanying numerous inflammatory skin diseases and remains a major therapeutic challenge. Neurogenic inflammation plays a central role in its pathogenesis, with the tachykinin substance P acting as a key mediator at the interface of the nervous system, immune cells, and cutaneous tissues.

GW1229, a novel neuropeptide Y Y-1 receptor antagonist, inhibits the vasoconstrictor effect of neuropeptide Y in the hamster microcirculation

, 1997
We studied the effect of GW1229, a novel neuropeptide Y Y-1 receptor antagonist, on the vasoconstriction induced by neuropeptide Y and structurally related analogs in the hamster cheek pouch microcirculation.

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Enantioselective Approaches and Domino Sequences for the Synthesis of Compounds of Biological Interest

, 2011
Neuropeptide S (NPS) is the endogenous ligand of the previously orphan G-protein coupled receptor, recently named NPSR.12 NPS is a small peptide of 20 amino acids and rapresents the endogenous ligand of NPSR.

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a
