The Role of Hypothalamic Neuropeptides in Regulation of Liver Functions in Health and Disease

Endocrines, 2023
The communication between brain and peripheral tissues is mediated by neuropeptides that coordinate the functions of each organ with the activities of the entire body in specific environmental conditions.

Postulated Role of Vasoactive Neuropeptide-Related Immunopathology of the Blood Brain Barrier and Virchow-Robin Spaces in the Aetiology of Neurological-Related Conditions

Mediators of Inflammation, 2008
Vasoactive neuropeptides (VNs) such as pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) have critical roles as neurotransmitters, vasodilators including perfusion and hypoxia regulators, as well as immune

An Overview of VPAC Receptors in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Biological Role and Clinical Significance

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
The axis comprised by the Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) and its G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), VPAC1, and VPAC2, belong to the B1 family and signal through Gs or Gq proteins.

The Effects of Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitor on Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Doxorubicin‐Mediated Cardiomyopathy‐Associated Heart Failure Model in Rats

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the most serious complications associated with the use of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) is cardiomyopathy. Although cardioprotective drugs such as angiotensin receptor‐neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) are used to prevent cardiomyopathy in DOX patients, no studies have reported the relationship between ARNI and endoplasmic ...

Biomarkers to predict outcomes in diabetic foot ulcers

VIEW, EarlyView.
Studies attempting to predict the healing outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have investigated various biological materials and recovered molecules that may aid in discriminating wounds that will heal and those that will not heal. This graphical abstract captures the commonly studied classes of biomarkers in the context of DFUs.

Localization of the neuropeptides pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and their receptors in the basal brain blood vessels and trigeminal ganglion of the mouse CNS; an immunohistochemical study

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are structurally related neuropeptides that are widely expressed in vertebrate tissues. The two neuropeptides are pleiotropic and have been associated with

Timing and duration of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist use and risk of nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the association between glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1RA) use and nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in type 2 diabetes, examining treatment recency and cumulative duration. Methods This nationwide registry‐based nested case–control study utilizedz Danish health registries (1996 ...

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...
