Genetic selection that has been carried out for several dozen years has led to significant
progress in poultry production by improving productive traits and increasing the profitability …

Neuropeptide S (NPS) is the last neuropeptide identified via reverse pharmacology
techniques. NPS selectively binds and activates a previous orphan GPCR, now named …

While photoperiod has been generally accepted as the primary if not the exclusive cue to
stimulate reproduction in photoperiodic breeders such as the laying hen, current knowledge …

Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a recently discovered peptide which induces hyperlocomotion,
anxiolysis and wakefulness. This study aimed to compare behavioral and biochemical …

Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a recently discovered peptide shown to be involved in regulating
arousal and anxiety. NPS receptor (NPSR) mRNA is expressed significantly in the major …

Chickens from lines selected for low (LWS) or high (HWS) body weight differ by 10-fold in
body weight at 56 days old with differences in food intake, glucose regulation, and body …

We have demonstrated that chicken lines which have undergone intense divergent selection
for either low (LWS) or high (HWS) body weight (anorexic and obese containing …

Neuropeptide S (NPS), the endogenous ligand of NPS receptor (NPSR), can regulate a
variety of biological functions, including arousal, anxiety, locomotion, memory and drug …

The Neuropeptide S (NPS), a 20 amino acids peptide, is recognized as the endogenous
ligand of a previously orphan G protein-coupled receptor, now termed NPS receptor …

Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a recently discovered neurotransmitter that binds to its cognate G‐
protein coupled receptor, NPSR. Previous studies have shown that central administration of …
