Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Neuropeptide Y neurons mediate opioid-induced itch by disinhibiting GRP-GRPR microcircuits in the spinal cord

Nature Communications
Itch is a common side effect of opioid analgesics. The specific neurons mediating opioid-induced itch are still debated, and the mechanistic neuronal circuits remain elusive.

Targeting NPY5R—A Member of the NPY Receptor Family: Pharmacological and Transcriptomic Mechanisms of the Euphorbia Factor L2 Against Lung Adenocarcinoma

Pharmaceuticals
Background: Advanced lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, with existing treatments hampered by drug resistance. This underscores the urgent need to identify novel therapeutic targets.

Receptors for neuropeptide Y: multiple subtypes and multiple second messengers

, 1991
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) can elicit numerous physiological responses by activating specific pre- and postsynaptic receptors. Different orders of potency for agonists in various model systems suggest that there are multiple subtypes of NPY receptors ...

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

Comparative effectiveness, safety and acceptability of pharmacological and psychosocial interventions for the treatment of cannabis use disorder: A network meta‐analysis

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Our primary aim was to conduct a network meta‐analysis (NMA) for the effectiveness, safety and acceptability of all psychosocial interventions and all pharmacotherapies for cannabis use disorder (CUD). Methods We conducted a NMA of studies identified from two completed systematic reviews examining the effectiveness, safety and ...

Sequence of Immunological Events During IgE‐Mediated Allergic Reactions to Food

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food allergies (FA) represent a significant global health burden. Upon allergen re‐exposure, allergic patients exhibit a sequence of symptoms that vary in terms of affected organ systems, severity, time of onset and allergen reactivity thresholds.

Corazonin Stimulates Ecdysteroid Synthesis during the Molting Process of the Swimming Crab, Portunus trituberculatus

Biology
The neuropeptide corazonin (Crz) exerts diverse physiological effects in insects, yet its role in crustaceans remains elusive. The abundant expression of Crz receptor (CrzR) in the Y-organs of several crustaceans suggests a potential involvement of Crz ...
