Bulk and Single-Nucleus Transcriptomics Highlight Intra-Telencephalic and Somatostatin Neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Cortical neuron loss is a pathological hallmark of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, it remains unclear which neuronal subtypes beyond broad excitatory and inhibitory classes are most vulnerable.

Somatostatin Analogues in the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors: Past, Present and Future [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In recent decades, the incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has steadily increased. Due to the slow-growing nature of these tumors and the lack of early symptoms, most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, when curative treatment options are no ...

The therapeutic effect of the neuropeptide hormone somatostatin on Schistosoma mansoni caused liver fibrosis

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2005
Background The neuropeptide somatostatin is one of the major regulatory peptides in the central nervous system and the digestive tract. Our recent work has delineated an association between fibrosis and low levels of endogenous somatostatin plasma levels

VGF changes during the estrous cycle: a novel endocrine role for TLQP peptides? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Although the VGF derived peptide TLQP-21 stimulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropin secretion, available data on VGF peptides and reproduction are limited.

E-cadherin expression is associated with somatostatin analogue response in acromegaly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Acromegaly is a rare disease resulting from hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) typically caused by pituitary adenomas, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs)

Reduced brain somatostatin in mood disorders: a common pathophysiological substrate and drug target?

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Our knowledge of the pathophysiology of affect dysregulation has progressively increased, but the pharmacological treatments remain inadequate. Here, we summarize the current literature on deficits in somatostatin, an inhibitory modulatory neuropeptide ...

Approach of Acromegaly during Pregnancy

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2022
Acromegaly-related sub/infertility, tidily related to suboptimal disease control (1/2 of cases), correlates with hyperprolactinemia (1/3 of patients), hypogonadotropic hypogonadism—mostly affecting the pituitary axis in hypopituitarism (10–80%), and ...

PET Imaging of Perceptual Learning-Induced Changes in the Aged Rodent Cholinergic System

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
The cholinergic system enhances attention and gates plasticity, making it a major regulator of adult learning. With aging, however, progressive degeneration of the cholinergic system impairs both the acquisition of new skills and functional recovery ...
