Neuropeptides.
The role of neuropeptides in modulating behavior is slowly being elucidated. With the sequencing of the C. elegans genome, the extent of the neuropeptide genes in C. elegans can be determined. To date, 113 neuropeptide genes encoding over 250 distinct neuropeptides have been identified. Of these, 40 genes encode insulin-like peptides, 31 genes encode FMRFamide-related peptides, and 42 genes enc...
متن کاملNeuropeptides and diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy, a common complication of diabetes, develops in 75% of patients with type 1 and 50% of patients with type 2 diabetes, progressing to legal blindness in about 5%. In the recent years, considerable efforts have been put into finding treatments for this condition. It has been discovered that peptidergic mechanisms (neuropeptides and their analogues, activating a diverse array ...
متن کاملMigraine and neuropeptides.
Migraine is a common disabling neurovascular primary headache disorder. The pathomechanism is not clear, but extensive preclinical and clinical studies are ongoing. The structural basis of the leading hypothesis is the trigeminovascular system, which includes the trigeminal ganglion, the meningeal vasculature, and the distinct nuclei of the brainstem, the thalamus and the somatosensory cortex. ...
متن کاملNeuropeptides and cerebrospinal fluid.
Neuropeptides are present in brain tissue as well as in cerebrospinal fluid. Studies from a variety of disciplines have demonstrated that neuropeptides have neuromodulatory activities. Such activities are apparent in the involvement of neuropeptides in the regulation of adaptive, autonomic, and endocrine functions of the brain. Neuropeptides exert their neuromodulating influences by acting as n...
متن کاملNeuropeptides and pain
Neuropeptides comprise a diverse group of chemically distinct molecules, contained in and released from a range of sensory nerves. They are involved in the formation, transmission, modulation and perception of all types of pain (physiological, neuropathic and inflammatory). This fact is reflected on their wide distribution, from primary sensory neurons to the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal c...
