ABSTRACT Aim Oxytocin has been proposed to exert glucose‐stabilising effects via modulation of pancreatic hormone secretion and to play a role in bone homeostasis. However, human data under controlled conditions are limited. We investigated the effects of intravenously infused oxytocin during a graded glucose infusion on glucose‐regulating hormones and

Gastrointestinal neurotensin receptors: lack of modulation by thyrotropin releasing hormone
To examine whether thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) antagonized gastrointestinal neurotensin receptors in isolated segments of the rat fundus, duodenum and ileum, tissues were superfused, mounted and the isometric tension recorded.

Conotoxins: Therapeutic Potential and Application
The pharmacological variety of conotoxins, diverse peptides found in the venoms of marine cone snails, is well recognized. Venoms from each of the estimated 500 species of cone snails contain 50 to 200 distinct biologically active peptides.

Ligands selectively tune the local and global motions of neurotensin receptor 1 (NTS1)
Summary: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies have revealed that fast methyl sidechain dynamics can report on entropically-driven allostery. Yet, NMR applications have been largely limited to the super-microsecond motional regimes of G protein ...

ABSTRACT Background Neurotoxicity is a rare, often dose‐limiting adverse effect of methotrexate (MTX) therapy that disproportionally affects Latino children. Factors contributing to the observed disparity are not well understood. This study leveraged admixture mapping to identify genetic regions associated with MTX‐related neurotoxicity susceptibility ...

Neuropeptide G Protein-Coupled Receptors as Oncotargets
Neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are overexpressed on numerous cancer cells. In a number of tumors, such as small cell lung cancer (SCLC), bombesin (BB) like peptides and neurotensin (NTS) function as autocrine growth factors whereby they

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Comparison of in vitro and in vivo Properties of HYNIC- [βAla7-Tle12] Neurotensin (5-13) Labeled with 99mTc using Two Co-ligand Systems [PDF]
Background and purpose: The selection of co-ligand has a profound effect on the labeling efficiency, biodistribution, and tumor-targeting ability of 99mTc-labeled HYNIC-conjugated peptides. This study compared the in-vitro and in-vivo properties from the

Psychodermatology of the Female: Hormones, Skin and Mental Health Across the Lifespan
Hormonal transitions across the female lifespan shape skin disease and psychiatric comorbidity through the brain–skin axis and Neuro‐Immuno‐Cutaneous‐Endocrine (NICE) network. This narrative review links puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum and menopause to dermatologic and psychosocial outcomes.
