Physiology of invertebrate oxytocin and vasopressin neuropeptides
Neuropeptides and regulatory peptide hormones control many developmental, physiological and behavioural processes in animals, including humans. The nonapeptides oxytocin and arginine vasopressin are produced and released by the pituitary gland and have actions on many organs and tissues. Receptive cells possess particular receptors to which the peptides bind as ligands, leading to activation of...
متن کاملImaging mass spectrometry of neuropeptides in decapod crustacean neuronal tissues.
Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) of neuropeptides in crustacean neuronal tissues was performed on a MALDI-TOF/TOF instrument. Sample preparation protocols were developed for the sensitive detection of these highly complex endogenous signaling molecules. The neuromodulatory complements of the pericardial organ (PO) and brain of the Jonah crab, Cancer borealis, were mapped. Distributions of peptid...

متن کاملAssessing ultrastructure of crustacean and insect neuromuscular junctions.
Motor nerve terminals of arthropods provide excellent models for study of synaptic transmission, and their ultrastructure can be investigated in the same endings from which physiological recordings have been obtained. An experimental procedure for marking a recording site for subsequent ultrastructural analysis is described. The most commonly used procedure for ultrastructural analysis has been...
متن کاملThe Importance of GLWamide Neuropeptides in Cnidarian Development and Physiology
The peptide-signaling molecules (<50 amino acid residues) occur in a wide variety of invertebrate and vertebrate organisms, playing pivotal roles in physiological, endocrine, and developmental processes. While some of these peptides display similar structures in mammals and invertebrates, others differ with respect to their structure and function in a species-specific manner. Such a conservatio...
