Regarding pituitary gonadotropin regulation, recent studies have shown that in mammals, FSH and LH are regulated by a single GnRH (solo GnRH model), whereas in teleosts, they are regulated by CCK (FSH‐RH) and GnRH (LH‐RH), respectively (dual GnRH model).

We aimed to evaluate the direct action of VIP on crucial molecules involved in human osteoclast differentiation and function. We also investigated the relationship between VIP serum levels and bone remodeling mediators in early arthritis patients.

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide binds with high affinity to VPAC1R and VPAC2R, thus regulating key physiologic functions. Previously, we documented in VIP−/− mice a leaner body phenotype and altered metabolic hormones.

The tissue and functional benefits are demonstrated with local, sustained delivery of an anti‐inflammatory peptide, pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP), for stroke treatment in a mouse model. Prolonged PACAP treatment modulated astrocyte and microglia toward pro‐reparative phenotypes, enhanced neuroprotection and preservation of ...

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Macrophages are a major population of immune cells in solid cancers, especially colorectal cancers. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are commonly divided into M1-like (tumor suppression) and M2-like (tumor promotion) phenotypes.

Abstract Background and Purpose Several G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to homodimerise. Dimeric GPCRs may have different properties from their monomers, but the molecular basis and functional significance of GPCR dimerisation remain largely unknown.

Caveolin1 interacts with PTH1R at membrane‐bound microdomains delaying receptor internalization, promoting cAMP signaling over calcium and ERK1/2 kinase pathways, and regulating bone formation and bone remodeling gene expression upon agonist stimulation in osteoblastic cells.

Expression, identification and biological effects of a novel VPAC2-specific agonist with high stability and bioactivity [PDF]
The development of rBAY, a recombinant peptide with the similar sequence of synthetic BAY55-9837, as a potential peptide therapeutic for type 2 diabetes is still a challenge mainly because of its poor stability in aqueous solution. To improve the peptide stability and bioactivity and investigate its biological effects for VPAC2-specific activation ...
