Migraine and neuropeptides [PDF]
Neuropeptides, 2015 Migraine is a common disabling neurovascular primary headache disorder. The pathomechanism is not clear, but extensive preclinical and clinical studies are ongoing. The structural basis of the leading hypothesis is the trigeminovascular system, which includes the trigeminal ganglion, the meningeal vasculature, and the distinct nuclei of the brainstem ...

The evolution and functional significance of neuropeptide cocktails: insights from SALMFamides in asteroid echinodermsThe evolution and functional significance of neuropeptide cocktails: insights from SALMFamides in asteroid echinoderms [PDF]
Open BiologyNeuropeptides derived from larger precursor proteins are neuronal signalling molecules that regulate physiological processes and behaviour. Some precursors, particularly in invertebrates, give rise to ‘cocktails’ of structurally related neuropeptides ...

Monoamines differentially modulate neuropeptide release from distinct sites within a single neuron pair. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Monoamines and neuropeptides often modulate the same behavior, but monoaminergic-peptidergic crosstalk remains poorly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the adrenergic-like ligands, tyramine (TA) and octopamine (OA) require distinct subsets of ...

Screening the function of genes encoding neuropeptides and their receptors in Nilaparvata lugens
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2022 Neuropeptides are crucial for life activities and environmental fitness of insects, which are potential targets for pest control. The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is an important pest on rice in Asia.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 Neuropeptide W (NPW), which was first isolated from the porcine hypothalamus, exists in two forms, consisting of 23 (NPW23) or 30 (NPW30) amino acids. These neuropeptides bind to one of two NPW receptors, either NPBWR1 (otherwise known as GPR7) or NPBWR2 (GPR8), which belong to the G protein-coupled receptor family.

Modulation of Locomotion and Reproduction by FLP Neuropeptides in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Neuropeptides function in animals to modulate most, if not all, complex behaviors. In invertebrates, neuropeptides can function as the primary neurotransmitter of a neuron, but more generally they co-localize with a small molecule neurotransmitter, as is

The Role of Hypothalamic Neuropeptides in Regulation of Liver Functions in Health and Disease
Endocrines, 2023 The communication between brain and peripheral tissues is mediated by neuropeptides that coordinate the functions of each organ with the activities of the entire body in specific environmental conditions.

Neuropeptides in tendinopathy [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009 Overuse tendinopathy remains a major clinical burden for sports medicine and general practitioners. Recent studies have highlighted the role of sensory and autonomic nerves in generating or perpetuating the symptoms and tissue abnormalities associated with tendinopathy.
