Spexin-expressing neurons in the magnocellular nuclei of the human hypothalamus [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 2021 Neuropeptides are involved in numerous brain activities being responsible for a wide spectrum of higher mental functions. The purpose of this concise, structural and qualitative investigation was to map the possible immunoreactivity of the novel neuropeptide spexin (SPX) within the human magnocellular hypothalamus.

Serum spexin concentration, body condition score and markers of obesity in dogs
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021 Background Spexin (SPX) is a peptide hormone that regulates body weight, adipose tissue metabolism, and food intake. Hypothesis Serum SPX concentration correlates with body condition score (BCS) and markers of obesity in dogs. Animals Fifty‐seven dogs of

Spexin Levels Are Associated with Metabolic Syndrome Components
Disease Markers, 2018 Background. Spexin (SPX) is a novel peptide that is implicated in obesity and related energy homeostasis in animals and adult humans. Little is known about its role in adults’ overall cardiometabolic health. The aim of the study was to determine whether circulating levels of spexin (SPX) is associated with components of metabolic syndrome (MetS ...

Spexin and a novel cichlid-specific spexin paralog both inhibit FSH and LH through a specific galanin receptor (Galr2b) in tilapia [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Abstract Spexin (SPX) is a 14 amino acid peptide hormone that has pleiotropic functions across vertebrates, one of which is involvement in the brain-pituitary-gonad axis of fish. SPX(1) has been identified in each class of vertebrates, and a second SPX (named SPX2) has been found in some non-mammalian species. We have
