Distribution and protective function of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in the retina

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), which is found in 27- or 38-amino acid forms, belongs to the VIP/glucagon/secretin family.

β-Arrestin1 and 2 differentially regulate PACAP-induced PAC1 receptor signaling and trafficking. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
A pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP)-specific receptor, PAC1R, is coupled with multiple signal transduction pathways including stimulation of adenylate cyclase, phospholipase C and extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 ...

Length polymorphisms at two candidate genes explain variation of migratory behaviors in blackpoll warblers (Setophaga striata)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Migratory behaviors such as the timing and duration of migration are genetically inherited and can be under strong natural selection, yet we still know very little about the specific genes or molecular pathways that control these behaviors.

Role of PACAP in female fertility and reproduction at gonadal level - recent advances

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a pleiotropic neuropeptide, first isolated from hypothalamic extracts, but later shown in peripheral organs, such as endocrine glands, gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system and ...

Dopamine and prolactin in migraine: Mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 12, December 2025.
Prolactin and dopamine modulate migraine‐relevant trigeminal pathways. Hyperprolactinemia is associated with migraine‐like headache, and preclinical studies show that prolactin enhances trigeminal excitability, particularly in females. Dopamine inhibits prolactin release and may also directly suppress trigeminovascular activity via D2 receptors in the ...

The Genetic Blueprint of Obesity: From Pathogenesis to Novel Therapies

open access: yesObesity Reviews, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by disturbances in energy homeostasis, leading to excessive fat accumulation. The pathogenesis of the disease is shaped by a complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, biological, psychological, and environmental factors.

Vasoactive neuropeptide dysregulation: A novel mechanism of microvascular dysfunction in vascular cognitive impairment

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Neuropeptide dysregulation and microvascular injury are involved in pathogenesis of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI); however, the underlying etiology of this pathological axis remains unclear. METHODS We investigated pathological mediators across varying severities of VCI in a rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH).

Hearing impairment and associated morphological changes in pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP)-deficient mice

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a regulatory and cytoprotective neuropeptide, its deficiency implies accelerated aging in mice. It is present in the auditory system having antiapoptotic effects.

Light-at-night exposure affects brain development through pineal allopregnanolone-dependent mechanisms

open access: yeseLife, 2019
The molecular mechanisms by which environmental light conditions affect cerebellar development are incompletely understood. We showed that circadian disruption by light-at-night induced Purkinje cell death through pineal allopregnanolone (ALLO) activity ...
