Anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) each occur in about 0.5-1.5% of the population in westernised countries, and primarily affect women. At present, a variety of pharmacological treatments are used in addition to psychotherapy,...

Role of Glucocorticoids in Fasting-induced Changes in Hypothalamic and Pituitary Components of the Growth Hormone (GH)-axis.

To directly test if elevated glucocorticoids are required for fasting-induced regulation of growth hormone (GH)-releasing hormone (GHRH), GHRH receptors (GHRH-R) and ghrelin receptors (GHS-R) expression, male rats were bilaterally adrenalectomized or sham operated. After 7 days, animals were fed...

Cell and gene therapies for refractory epilepsy.

Current neuropharmacology

Boison D.
PMID: 18615179
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2007;5(2):115-25. doi: 10.2174/157015907780866938.

Despite recent advances in the development of antiepileptic drugs, refractory epilepsy remains a major clinical problem affecting up to 35% of patients with partial epilepsy. Currently, there are few therapies that affect the underlying disease process. Therefore, novel therapeutic...

Differential regulation of neuropeptide Y and catecholamine production in superior cervical ganglion cultures.

Molecular and cellular neurosciences

Marek KL, Mains RE.
PMID: 19912776
Mol Cell Neurosci. 1990 Dec;1(3):262-9. doi: 10.1016/1044-7431(90)90008-r.

Primary cultures of newborn rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons grown in complete serum-free medium have been used to study the regulation of catecholamine and neuropeptide Y (NPY) production. The levels of mRNA for preproNPY and for tyrosine hydroxylase...

Differential and independent manifestation within co-containing neurones of neuropeptide Y and tyrosine hydroxylase during ontogeny of the rat central nervous system.

Neurochemistry international

Foster GA, Schultzberg M, Goldstein M.
PMID: 20488105
Neurochem Int. 1984;6(6):761-71. doi: 10.1016/0197-0186(84)90008-1.

The development of tyrosine hydroxylase- and neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive cell bodies in the foetal rat brain was analyzed immunohistochemically using antibodies raised against tyrosine hydroxylase and neuropeptide Y. Possible co-existence of these two substance within the same neurones was investigated...

Biphasic response of hippocampal dynorphin expression following recurrent limbic seizure.

Molecular and cellular neurosciences

White JD, Yount GL, Lauterborn JC, Krause JE, Gall CM.
PMID: 19912848
Mol Cell Neurosci. 1992 Feb;3(1):79-87. doi: 10.1016/1044-7431(92)90011-p.

The opioid peptide dynorphin (DYN) is expressed normally at high levels in dentate gyrus granule cells in hippocampus and in neurons in entorhinal and neocortex. In the present study, ribonuclease protection and in situ hybridization analyses were used to...

Decrease of vasoactive intestinal peptide, methionine-enkephalin, substance P and increase of neuropeptide Y immunoreactive nerve fibres in aganglionic colon of Hirschsprung's disease.

Neurochemistry international

De Laet MH, Dassonville M, Steyaert H, Vanderveken E, Lotstra F, Vierendeels G, Przedborski S, Vaudry H, Vanderhaeghen JJ.
PMID: 20504409
Neurochem Int. 1989;14(2):135-41. doi: 10.1016/0197-0186(89)90113-7.

Ganglionic and aganglionic full-thickness samples, at 4 levels of the colon of 26 infants with Hirschsprung's disease, were studied by immunohistochemistry. In the distal part of the aganglionic bowel, we observe a decrease of substance P and vasoactive intestinal...

5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan Suppressed Food Intake in Rats Despite an Increase in the Arcuate NPY Expression.

Experimental neurobiology

Moon YW, Choi SH, Yoo SB, Lee JH, Jahng JW.
PMID: 22110352
Exp Neurobiol. 2010 Dec;19(3):132-9. doi: 10.5607/en.2010.19.3.132. Epub 2010 Dec 31.

This study was conducted to define the underlying mechanism of hypophagia induced by increased central serotonergic action. Rats received 3 daily injections of 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP), a serotonin precursor, at a dose of 100 mg/kg/10 ml saline at 1 h...

Addiction is a Reward Deficit and Stress Surfeit Disorder.

Frontiers in psychiatry

Koob GF.
PMID: 23914176
Front Psychiatry. 2013 Aug 01;4:72. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2013.00072. eCollection 2013.

Drug addiction can be defined by a three-stage cycle - binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative affect, and preoccupation/anticipation - that involves allostatic changes in the brain reward and stress systems. Two primary sources of reinforcement, positive and negative reinforcement, have been hypothesized...

Gut hormones in cyclostomes.

Fish physiology and biochemistry

Van Noorden S.
PMID: 24220989
Fish Physiol Biochem. 1990 Sep;8(5):399-408. doi: 10.1007/BF00003371.

The current state of knowledge about regulatory peptides in endocrine cells and nerves of the alimentary canal of lampreys and hagfishes is reviewed. Cyclostomes have a wide range of peptides similar immunochemically to those of higher vertebrates. They include,...
