DINeR: Database for Insect Neuropeptide Research [PDF]

, 2017
Neuropeptides are responsible for regulating a variety of functions, including development, metabolism, water and ion homeostasis, and as neuromodulators in circuits of the central nervous system.

Evolution of neuropeptide Y/RFamide-like receptors in nematodes

Heliyon
The Neuropeptide Y/RFamide-like receptors belong to the Rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are involved in functions such as locomotion, feeding and reproduction.

A G protein-coupled receptor mediates neuropeptide-induced oocyte maturation in the jellyfish Clytia.

PLoS Biology, 2020
The reproductive hormones that trigger oocyte meiotic maturation and release from the ovary vary greatly between animal species. Identification of receptors for these maturation-inducing hormones (MIHs) and understanding how they initiate the largely ...

The cardiac sympathetic co-transmitter neuropeptide Y is pro-arrhythmic following ST-elevation myocardial infarction despite beta-blockade

European Heart Journal, 2019
Aims ST-elevation myocardial infarction is associated with high levels of cardiac sympathetic drive and release of the co-transmitter neuropeptide Y (NPY).

Reversal of age-related learning deficiency by the vertebrate PACAP and IGF-1 in a novel invertebrate model of aging: the pond snail (Lymnaea Stagnalis) [PDF]

, 2014
With the increase of life span, nonpathological age-related memory decline is affecting an increasing number of people. However, there is evidence that age-associated memory impairment only suspends, rather than irreversibly extinguishes, the intrinsic ...

Brain delivery of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) following nasal administration to rats [PDF]

, 2003
The aim of this work was to study in rats the nasal route for the brain delivery of the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) neuropeptide. After evaluating VIP stability in solutions obtained from nasal washes, the effect of formulation parameters (pH 4-9,

Ligands of the neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor [PDF]

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2014
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of the most abundant neuropeptides in the mammalian brain and exerts a variety of physiological processes in humans via four different receptor subtypes Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5. Y2 receptor is the most abundant Y subtype receptor in the central nervous system and implicated with food intake, bone formation, affective disorders ...

Phylogenetic investigation of peptide hormone and growth factor receptors in five dipteran genomes

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Peptide hormones and growth factors bind to membrane receptors and regulate a myriad of processes in insects and other metazoans. The evolutionary relationships among characterized and un-characterized (orphan) receptors can provide insights into ...

Impact of Orexin-A Treatment on Food Intake, Energy Metabolism and Body Weight in Mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Orexin-A and -B are hypothalamic neuropeptides of 33 and 28-amino acids, which regulate many homeostatic systems including sleep/wakefulness states, energy balance, energy homeostasis, reward seeking and drug addiction.
