The present article provides a brief overview of various aspects on neuropeptides,
emphasizing their multitude and their wide distribution in both the peripheral and central …

This review examines our current understanding of the roles of some of the best known
neuropeptides that have played major roles in our combined research programmes …

We know neuropeptides now for over 40 years as chemical signals in the brain. The
discovery of neuropeptides is founded on groundbreaking research in physiology …

This textbook is the first to bring together and synthesize the neuropeptide research of the
past decade in such a comprehensive, scholarly manner. In recent years there has been …

In the early 1970's the term" neuropeptide" was used for the first time by David de Wied for
peptides related to peptide hormones but with non-endocrine biological activity in the brain …

Neuropeptides and peptide hormones represent the largest class of chemical messengers
that transmit information from one cell to another. In this review, several decades of research …

The proteolytic processing of neuropeptides has an important regulatory function and the
peptide fragments resulting from the enzymatic degradation often exert essential …

The number of neuropeptides and their corresponding receptors has increased steadily over
the last fourty years: initially, peptides were isolated from gut or brain (eg, Substance P …

Neuropeptides are small protein molecules (composed of 3–100 amino-acid residues) that
have been localized to discrete cell populations of central and peripheral neurons. In most …

Interest in the role of peptides in the nervous system was sparked 20 years ago when
Guillemin, Schally, and their colleagues first identified the peptidergic nature of the …
