Review: Free fatty acid receptors: emerging targets for treatment of diabetes and its complications
Fatty acids (FAs) are important as metabolic substrates and as structural components of biological membranes. However, they also function as signalling molecules.

We previously demonstrated that electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation both produced antinociception and attenuated intrathecal (i.t.) morphine analgesia, suggesting that EA is capable of inducing two opposing systems, that is, opioid and anti-opioid ...

Radiolabeled CCK/gastrin peptides for imaging and therapy of CCK2 receptor-expressing tumors [PDF]
Cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors are overexpressed in numerous human cancers, like medullary thyroid carcinomas, small cell lung cancers and stromal ovarian cancers.

Neonatal local noxious insult affects gene expression in the spinal dorsal horn of adult rats
Neonatal noxious insult produces a long-term effect on pain processing in adults. Rats subjected to carrageenan (CAR) injection in one hindpaw within the sensitive period develop bilateral hypoalgesia as adults.

Activation of multiple receptors stimulates extracellular vesicle release from trophoblast cells
Reports of the stimulated release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) are few, and the mechanisms incompletely understood. To our knowledge, the possibility that the activation of any one of the multitudes of G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed by ...

Cholecystokinin: an excitatory modulator of mitral/tufted cells in the mouse olfactory bulb. [PDF]
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is widely distributed in the brain as a sulfated octapeptide (CCK-8S). In the olfactory bulb, CCK-8S is concentrated in two laminae: an infraglomerular band in the external plexiform layer, and an inframitral band in the internal ...

Cholecystokinin Activates Orexin/Hypocretin Neurons through the Cholecystokinin A Receptor [PDF]
Orexin A and B are neuropeptides implicated in the regulation of sleep/wakefulness and energy homeostasis. The regulatory mechanism of the activity of orexin neurons is not precisely understood. Using transgenic mice in which orexin neurons specifically express yellow cameleon 2.1, we screened for factors that affect the activity of orexin neurons (a ...

Novel Fat Taste Receptor Agonists Curtail Progressive Weight Gain in Obese Male MiceSummary
Background & Aims: The spontaneous preference for dietary lipids is principally regulated by 2 lingual fat taste receptors, CD36 and GPR120. Obese animals and most of human subjects exhibit low orosensory perception of dietary fat because of ...
