Role of Neuropeptides in Sarcomas
, 2023 Neuropeptides are among the most abundant chemical messengers produced in the brain that can function as neurotransmitters or hormones. Neuropeptides are synthesized and used by a neuron.

Neuropeptide Y, substance P, and human bone morphogenetic protein 2 stimulate human osteoblast osteogenic activity by enhancing gap junction intercellular communication [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2015 Bone homeostasis seems to be controlled by delicate and subtle “cross talk” between the nervous system and “osteo-neuromediators” that control bone remodeling. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of interactions between neuropeptides and

Role of neurotrophins and neuropeptides in Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) : a model for human generalized absence seizures [PDF]
, 2010 Several studies have shown that neurotrophins and neuropeptides contribute to epileptogenesis but their impact on idiopathic generalized epilepsies is not yet elucidated.

Sleep, neuropeptides and proteases
Sleep Science, 2012 Neuropeptides have a fundamental role on sleep-wake cycle control and their proteolytic processing regulates their actions. Proteases are essential for the metabolism of neuropeptides, by release either from active or inactive precursors or by the ...

Basal ganglia neuropeptides show abnormal processing associated with L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia
npj Parkinson's Disease, 2022 L-DOPA administration is the primary treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD) but long-term administration is usually accompanied by hyperkinetic side-effects called L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). Signaling neuropeptides of the basal ganglia are affected

Neuropeptidergic systems in psychiatric disorders
Frontiers in EndocrinologyNeuropeptides represent a heterogeneous class of signalling molecules whose release has initially been described in the hypothalamus. Their release often follows a circadian rhythm and basal release may be enhanced by internal and external stressors ...
