Regulation of the Estrous Cycle by Neutrophils via Opioid Peptides
We found previously that neutrophil-depleted mice exhibited significant blockading of both the regular estrous cycle and cyclic changes of steroid hormone levels. In this study, we aimed at elucidation of the underlying mechanism.

ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, closely linked to the global rising incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathogenesis, gut–liver axis, and multidisciplinary management of MASLD within the ...

This review summarizes the immuno‐inflammatory mechanisms driving the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), extending beyond the traditional view of OA as a purely degenerative disease to incorporate immune cell infiltration, inflammatory factor release, and the formation of a chronic low‐grade inflammatory microenvironment.

Distinct roles of exogenous opioid agonists and endogenous opioid peptides in the peripheral control of neuropathy-triggered heat pain [PDF]
Neuropathic pain often results from peripheral nerve damage, which can involve immune response. Local leukocyte-derived opioid peptides or exogenous opioid agonists inhibit neuropathy-induced mechanical hypersensitivity in animal models.

Pharmacological Preconditioning: Role of Opioid Peptides
The review deals with the mechanisms of action of opioids and the synthetic analogue of endogenous leuenkephaline dalargin. It discusses the relation of delta-opioid receptors to the phenomenon of pharmacological preconditioning that may explain the ...

ABSTRACT Objective The real‐world evidence on the association between glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) and cancer risk remains limited and mixed. Methods In 2013–2020 national Medicare claims data, we included cancer‐naïve patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We identified those who initiated GLP‐1 RA, sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of the age-dependency of opioid analgesia and tolerance
The age-dependency of opioid analgesia and tolerance has been noticed in both clinical observation and laboratory studies. Evidence shows that many molecular and cellular events that play essential roles in opioid analgesia and tolerance are actually age-

Evaluation of Potential Hormonal Activities of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
ABSTRACT Ashwagandha is a widely used herb in traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayurveda. Despite its extensive tradition, growing concerns regarding its potential endocrinological effects have prompted scientific scrutiny. This review systematically evaluates the current preclinical, clinical, and case study evidence concerning AS's effects ...
