Influence of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus on intraocular pressure and the role of opioid peptides.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundAn opioid peptide neuron/humoral feedback regulation might be involved in changes of intraocular pressure (IOP). The aims of this study are to investigate the effects of arcuate nucleus (ARC) and opioid peptides on intraocular pressure (IOP ...

Trends in gabapentinoid prescribing: A nationwide Danish drug utilization study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Pregabalin and gabapentin are increasingly used for pain and other conditions. Concerns exist about overuse as well as potential misuse and abuse. To guide rational prescribing practices, we provide detailed nationwide data on the use of gabapentinoids in Denmark.

Endogenous opioids regulate moment-to-moment neuronal communication and excitability

Nature Communications, 2017
The endogenous opioid system regulates fear and anxiety, but the underlying cellular mechanism is unclear. Winterset al. shows that in the intercalated cells (ITC) of the amygdala, endogenous opioids suppress glutamatergic inputs via the δ-opioid ...

EudraVigilance insights: Suspected adverse drug reactions in infants through breastfeeding

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims We aimed to describe suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in infants resulting from medications transmitted through mothers' milk, as reported to the European ADR database, EudraVigilance. The research sought to understand the frequency, seriousness and nature of these ADRs to assess potential risks associated with maternal medication use ...

Peroxiredoxin 6 mediates Gαi protein-coupled receptor inactivation by cJun kinase

Nature Communications, 2017
Opioid receptors are important modulators of nociceptive pain. Here the authors show that opioid receptor activation recruits peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) to the receptor-Gαi complex by c-Jun N-terminal kinase, resulting in Gαi depalmitoylation and enhanced ...

A mu–delta opioid receptor brain atlas reveals neuronal co-occurrence in subcortical networks

Brain Structure and Function, 2014
Opioid receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that modulate brain function at all levels of neural integration, including autonomic, sensory, emotional and cognitive processing.

Deletion of arrestin-3 does not reduce drug-seeking behavior in a longitudinal paradigm of oral morphine self-administration

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionOpioid drugs are potent analgesics that mimic the endogenous opioid peptides, endorphins and enkephalins, by activating the µ-opioid receptor.

Opioid receptor-triggered spinal mTORC1 activation contributes to morphine tolerance and hyperalgesia.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2014
The development of opioid-induced analgesic tolerance and hyperalgesia is a clinical challenge for managing chronic pain. Adaptive changes in protein translation in the nervous system are thought to promote opioid tolerance and hyperalgesia; however, how

Variation in the infant health effects of the women, infants, and children program by predicted risk using novel machine learning methods

Health Economics, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 194-217, January 2023., 2023
Abstract The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) has an extensive literature documenting positive effects on infant health outcomes, specifically preterm birth, low birthweight, small size for gestational age, and infant mortality.
