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

Secretin-dependent signals in the ventromedial hypothalamus regulate energy metabolism and bone homeostasis in mice

Nature Communications
Secretin, though originally discovered as a gut-derived hormone, is recently found to be abundantly expressed in the ventromedial hypothalamus, from which the central neural system controls satiety, energy metabolism, and bone homeostasis.

Secretin [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1932
The preparation of secretin has been described in a previous paper (1928). The method involved extraction of the duodenal mucosa with absolute alcohol and precipitation of the dissolved secretin by bile salts. It was based on two observations: ( a ) secretin exists in the duodenal mucosa in an active condition, and (

Plant Peptides on the Rise: From Historical Insight to Future Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant peptides constitute a rapidly expanding class of signalling molecules essential to plant physiology, mediating key processes such as development, stress adaptation, and immune responses. This review traces the history of plant peptide research, from the seminal discovery of systemin to the recent identification of non‐canonical peptides (

Folding, misfolding, and regulation of intracellular traffic of G protein‐coupled receptors involved in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 978-991, May 2026.
Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

On the hierarchical classification of G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]

, 2007
Motivation: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an important role in many physiological systems by transducing an extracellular signal into an intracellular response. Over 50% of all marketed drugs are targeted towards a GPCR.

G Protein–Coupled Receptors in Olfactory Signaling and Related Disorders: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Sensory Neuroscience, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
This schematic highlights GPCRs as the central hub of olfactory signaling in health and disease. The central GPCR shows odorant activation and downstream pathways. Surrounding quadrants illustrate four GPCR‐mediated themes: odor perception and adaptation, mucosal immunity and regeneration, memory consolidation via neural circuits, and GPCR‐related ...

Corticotropin-Releasing Factor: An Ancient Peptide Family Related to the Secretin Peptide Superfamily

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is the hypothalamic releasing peptide that regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal/inter-renal (HPA/I) axis in vertebrates.
