Brain delivery of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) following nasal administration to rats [PDF]
, 2003 The aim of this work was to study in rats the nasal route for the brain delivery of the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) neuropeptide. After evaluating VIP stability in solutions obtained from nasal washes, the effect of formulation parameters (pH 4-9,

Phylogenetic investigation of peptide hormone and growth factor receptors in five dipteran genomes
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013 Peptide hormones and growth factors bind to membrane receptors and regulate a myriad of processes in insects and other metazoans. The evolutionary relationships among characterized and un-characterized (orphan) receptors can provide insights into ...

Impact of Orexin-A Treatment on Food Intake, Energy Metabolism and Body Weight in Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Orexin-A and -B are hypothalamic neuropeptides of 33 and 28-amino acids, which regulate many homeostatic systems including sleep/wakefulness states, energy balance, energy homeostasis, reward seeking and drug addiction.

Neuropeptide Y receptor in the rat brain [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1984 The specific binding of the chloramine-T iodinated neuropeptide Y (125I-NPY) to membranes from rat cerebral cortex was investigated using equilibrium binding and kinetic methods. The equilibrium binding of 125I-NPY at 37 degrees C was characterized by a Kd value of 0.38 nM. The receptor densities in the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and cerebellum were
