Neuroendocrine Role of Kisspeptin-Neurokinin B-Dynorphin Pathway in Male Fertility and its Correlation with Melatonin
Introduction: A subset of neurons has been recently identified in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus that co-localize three neuropeptides; kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin (KNDy). These neuropeptides have been shown to play a critical role in the central control of reproduction and the modulation of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion by endocrine, metabolic and environ...
متن کاملAnticancer activity of methyl-substituted oxaliplatin analogs.
Oxaliplatin is successfully used in systemic cancer therapy. However, resistance development and severe adverse effects are limiting factors for curative cancer treatment with oxaliplatin. The purpose of this study was to comparatively investigate in vitro and in vivo anticancer properties as well as the adverse effects of two methyl-substituted enantiomerically pure oxaliplatin analogs [[(1R,2...
متن کاملNeurokinin B and the Hypothalamic Regulation
10 The morphology and gene expression of neurokinin B (NKB) neurons is altered in the human infundibular (arcuate) nucleus in association with the ovarian failure of menopause. Also, gonadotropin releasing-hormone (GnRH) mRNA is elevated and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA decreased. To determine if loss of ovarian steroids could produce comparable changes in gene expression in primates, we mea...
متن کاملSynthesis and antitumor activities of glycine-exchanged analogs of spicamycin.
A series of SPM VIII analogs were synthesized to investigate the effect of the amino acid moiety on the antitumor activity. The L-threonine analog and the glycylglycine analog of SPM VIII showed much higher cytotoxicity to P388 murine leukemia cells (IC50 5.8 nM and 0.11 nM, respectively) than SPM VIII (IC50 25nM). However, replacement of the glycine moiety with other amino acids greatly reduce...
متن کاملNeurokinin Bs and neurokinin B receptors in zebrafish-potential role in controlling fish reproduction.
The endocrine regulation of vertebrate reproduction is achieved by the coordinated actions of several peptide neurohormones, tachykinin among them. To study the evolutionary conservation and physiological functions of neurokinin B (NKB), we identified tachykinin (tac) and tac receptor (NKBR) genes from many fish species, and cloned two cDNA forms from zebrafish. Phylogenetic analysis showed tha...
