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 gut-brain axis and their influence on host immunity and stress
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020 In recent decades, neuropeptides have been found to play a major role in communication along the gut-brain axis. Various neuropeptides are expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, where they facilitate the crosstalk between the nervous ...

The Role of Neurokinin-1 Receptor in the Microenvironment of Inflammation and Cancer
The Scientific World Journal, 2012 The recent years have witnessed an exponential increase in cancer research, leading to a considerable investment in the field. However, with few exceptions, this effort has not yet translated into a better overall prognosis for patients with cancer, and ...

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.

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.
