Endogenous neuropeptides are important signaling molecules that function as regulators of
food intake and body weight. Previous work has shown that neuropeptide gene expression …

Neuropeptides are intercellular signal transmitters that play key roles in modulation of many
behavioral and physiological processes. Neuropeptide signaling in several nuclei in the …

Feeding behavior is a fundamental aspect of energy homeostasis and is crucial for animal
survival. This process is regulated by a multitude of neurotransmitters including …

ProSAAS is the precursor of a number of peptides that have been proposed to function as
neuropeptides. Because proSAAS mRNA is highly expressed in the arcuate nucleus of the …

Food consumption is an important behavior that is regulated by an intricate array of
neuropeptides (NPs). Although many feeding-related NPs have been identified in mammals …

Gut microbiota can regulate host physiological and pathological status through gut–brain
communications or pathways. However, the impact of the gut microbiome on neuropeptides …

Understanding regulation and action of endogenous peptides, especially neuropeptides,
which serve as inter-and intracellular signal transmitters, is key in understanding a variety of …

Mass spectrometry-based neuropeptidomics is one of the most powerful approaches for
identification of endogenous neuropeptides in the brain. Until now, however, the …

Neuropeptides produced from prohormones by selective action of endopeptidases are vital
signaling molecules, playing a critical role in a variety of physiological processes, such as …

Diverse neuropeptides participate in cell–cell communication to coordinate neuronal and
endocrine regulation of physiological processes in health and disease. Neuropeptides are …
