Subsequent to the isolation of the first recognized RFamide neuropeptide, FMRFamide, from
the clam, a large number of these peptides have been identified. There are now five groups …

Prolactin‐releasing peptide (PrRP) is known to have functions in prolactin secretion, stress
responses, cardiovascular regulation and food intake suppression. In addition, PrRP …

Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) was first isolated from bovine hypothalamus as an
orphan G-protein-coupled receptor using the strategy of reverse pharmacology. The initial …

Food intake is regulated by a network of signals that emanate from the gut and the
brainstem. The peripheral satiety signal cholecystokinin is released from the gut following …

In the modern world, improvements in human health can be offset by unhealthy lifestyle
factors, including the deleterious consequences of stress and obesity. For energy …

In addition to its stimulatory effect on prolactin release, the neuropeptide prolactin releasing
peptide (PrRP) has been shown to be a mediator of the stress response. To analyze the …

Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) reduces food intake and body weight and modifies body
temperature when administered centrally in rats, suggesting a role in energy homeostasis …

In the three decades since FMRFamide was isolated from the clam Macrocallista nimbosa,
the list of RFamide peptides has been steadily growing. These peptides occur widely across …

Recently, novel mammalian RFamide-related peptides (RFRPs) have been identified and
suggested to increase prolactin release in the rodent. To assess possible functions of …

Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) is one of the RF-amide peptides and was originally
identified in the bovine hypothalamus as a stimulator of prolactin (PRL) release …
