Circadian clock disruption in neurodegenerative diseases: cause and effect? [PDF]
Disturbance of the circadian system, manifested as disrupted daily rhythms of physiologic parameters such as sleep, activity, and hormone secretion, has long been observed as a symptom of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer Disease ...

Caveolae-dependent internalization and homologous desensitization of VIP/PACAP receptor, VPAC2, in gastrointestinal smooth muscle [PDF]
Abstract The main membrane proteins of caveolae (caveolin-1, -2 and -3) oligomerize within lipid rich domains to form regular invaginations of smooth muscle plasma membrane and participate in receptor internalization and desensitization independent of clathrin-coated vesicle endocytosis. We have previously shown that G s -coupled VIP/PACAP receptors,

GABAergic signalling in the suprachiasmatic nucleus is required for coherent circadian rhythmicity
Genetic disruption of GABAergic synaptic transmission by deletion of the vesicular GABA transporter within the suprachiasmatic nucleus of adult mice results in the eventual deterioration of physiological and behavioural rhythmicity in vivo and concomitant neuronal desynchrony in vitro.

Pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) are neuroprotective peptides. Their beneficial activities occur via three G protein‐coupled receptors, PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2. We found that PAC1 receptor activation contributes to most of the beneficial activities of the neuropeptides in an experimental ...
