American Journal of Rhinology, 1998
Sensory, parasympathetic, and sympathetic nerves innervate many structures in airways. The anatomy, histology, and function of these nerves and their varied neurotransmitters will be reviewed. Changes that may contribute to the pathophysiology of allergic, viral, and nonallergic rhinitis will be described.

Physiology & Behavior, 2004
The hypothalamus and other brain regions that control energy homeostasis contain neuronal populations that produce specific neuropeptides which have experimental effects on feeding behavior and body weight. Here, we describe examples of neuropeptides that exert 'anabolic' effects, notably stimulation of feeding and increased body weight. Neuropeptide Y

NEUROPEPTIDE TYROSINE (NPY)—A MAJOR CARDIAC NEUROPEPTIDE
The Lancet, 1983A newly discovered bioactive peptide, neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY), has been found in the human cardiac nervous system. Dense concentrations of NPY-immunoreactive nerve fibres were found in association with nodal tissue (atrioventricular node 22.1 +/- 3.7 pmol/g). NPY nerve fibres were seen in close contact with cardiac muscle fibres and were also found

International Urology and Nephrology, 1989
Following a review of the literature for non-cholinergic, non-adrenergic mechanisms that are assumed to play a part in regulating the function of the lower urinary tract, some methods of neuropeptide research are described to determine the actual distribution and concentration of these substances.

Allergy & Clinical Immunology International - Journal of the World Allergy Organization, 1990
Many neuropeptides have recently been identified in human and animal airways. These peptides have potent effects on airway caliber, blood vessels, and secretions, raising the possibility that they may be involved in airway diseases such as asthma. Vasoactive intestinal peptide and peptide histidine methionine are potent bronchodilators and may be ...

Achatin-I, fulicin, fulyal, Mytilus-FFRFamide and Helix CCAP-RP-III are D-amino acid-containing neuropeptides from molluscs. Achatin-I, fulicin and fulyal from Achatina showed excitatory and/or modulatory actions on the penis retractor, radula retractor or ventricular muscles and neurons, though their L isomers were devoid of activity.

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.
