Neuropeptides in the Gonads: From Evolution to Pharmacology

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2010
Vertebrate gonads are the sites of synthesis and binding of many peptides that were initially classified as neuropeptides. These gonadal neuropeptide systems are neither well understood in isolation, nor in their interactions with other neuropeptide ...

Regional and Compartmental Changes Drive Progressive Patterns of Striatal Degeneration in X‐Linked Dystonia Parkinsonism

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Initially described in 1976, X‐linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP) is a neurodegenerative disease that can be characterized by the presentation of dystonia and parkinsonism symptoms. Although this disease bears some resemblance to other neurodegenerative diseases in terms of symptomatology, the pathological signature of XDP is still unclear ...

Von In‐Silico bis In‐Cerebro – Entwicklung des Orexinrezeptor Antagonisten „Photorexant“ zur Photomodulation In Vitro und im Gehirn der Maus

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Durch einen strukturbasierten Designansatz wurden photoschaltbare Derivate des von der FDA zugelassenen Arzneistoffes Suvorexant entwickelt, gedockt, synthetisiert und pharmakologisch an den Orexin‐1‐ und 2‐Rezeptoren (OX1R und OX2R) charakterisiert.

In Silico to In Cerebro—Development of the Orexin Receptor Antagonist “Photorexant” for Photomodulation In Vitro and in Mouse Brains

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Following a structure‐based design approach, photoswitchable derivatives of the FDA‐approved drug suvorexant were designed, docked, synthesized, and characterized pharmacologically at the orexin 1 and 2 receptors (OX1R and OX2R). Optimized “photorexant” showed up to an 11‐fold difference in IC50 between photoisomers, enabled dynamic and reversible ...

Insect Mating Behaviors: A Review of the Regulatory Role of Neuropeptides

Insects
Insect mating behaviors are complex, diverse, and primarily regulated by neuropeptides and their receptors. Neuropeptides are peptide signaling molecules mainly secreted by insects’ central nervous system (CNS) to reach target organs.

Neuropeptidergic Regulation of Food Intake in the Neonatal Chick: A Review

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2007
Immediately after hatching, neonatal chicks can find their food and control food intake, but the mechanisms for feeding are not completely understood. Food intake regulation in the brain involves neuropeptides.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Interaction of the Gut Microbiota and the Enteric Nervous System: Implications in Gastrointestinal Disorders Associated With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. In addition to these core behavioral symptoms, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are frequently reported, ranging from severe constipation to diarrhea.
