Associations Between Fatty Acid Levels in Human Blood and Trigeminovascular Tissues

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Omega‐3 and omega‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are precursors to oxylipins that modulate pain and inflammation. We previously demonstrated that (1) a dietary intervention increasing omega‐3 and reducing omega‐6 PUFAs alters the concentration of these oxylipin precursors in blood, and (2) these changes are associated with reduced ...

Opioid peptides and the heart [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 1999
See article by Millington et al. ([1], pages 107–116) in this issue. In this issue Millington et al. [1] describe the localization of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) message and peptide products in adult and neonatal rat heart. These authors are to be commended for delving into the esoteric area of cardiac endocrine function and opioid peptides.

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]

, 2017
The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...

Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the

Sleep deprivation changes thimet oligopeptidase (THOP1) expression and activity in rat brain

Heliyon, 2019
The consequences of sleep deprivation on memory, cognition, nociception, stress, and endocrine function are related to the balance of neuropeptides, with peptidases being particularly essential.

Intratumoral Nerve Phased Development: A Promising Therapeutic Target

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The nervous system has emerged as a critical regulator of tumor biology, engaging in dynamic crosstalk with cancer cells. Although the protumorigenic role of innervation is well established, increasing attention is now directed toward reciprocal influences—how tumors actively shape and remodel local nerve networks within the tumor ...

Effect of intrauterine morphine sulfate exposure on cerebellar histomorphological changes in neonatal mice [PDF]

, 2011
Neurotoxic effects of morphine sulfate in adult cerebellar cortex and neonatal cerebral cortex have been studied in animal models. This study was done to determine the neurotoxic effects of prenatal morphine exposure on the histo morphological changes of

Mas-related G-protein–coupled receptors inhibit pathological pain in mice [PDF]

, 2010
An important objective of pain research is to identify novel drug targets for the treatment of pathological persistent pain states, such as inflammatory and neuropathic pain.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Proenkephalin Predicts Striatal Atrophy Decades before Clinical Motor Diagnosis in Huntington's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

Responses of substantia gelatinosa neurons to putative neurotransmitters in an in vitro preparation of the adult rat spinal cord [PDF]

, 1983
Extracellular recordings were performed from neurons of the substantia gelatinosa (SG) in an in vitro preparation obtained from the spinal cord of adult rats. About 40% of neurons were spontaneously active.
