Hypothalamic neurohormones and immune responses

The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive examination of the current literature describing the neural-immune interactions, with emphasis on the most recent findings of the effects of neurohormones on immune system. Particularly, the role of hypothalamic hormones such as Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH...

Neurohormones regulate T cell function

In this communication we show that T cell locomotion is affected by direct interaction with neurohormones. Opioid peptides, including beta-END, MET-ENK, LEU-ENK, and related enkephalin analogues enhanced migration of human peripheral blood T lymphocytes. Activity was dependent on the peptide NH2-terminal sequence, stimulated by enkephalin analogues with specificity for classical delta or mu typ...

Neurohormones in Insect Stress: a Review

The neurohormones are the master regulators of all life processes in insects and they create a strategy of stress protecting events. Neurohormones are synthesized mainly in insect brain neurosecretory neurons. Various stressors of different intensity cause specific changes which influence on neurosecretory neurons activity and synthesis of neurohormones (biogene amines, ecdysiotropins, ecdysios...

Interleukins and neurohormones: a common language.

Neurohormones in heart failure: predicting outcomes, optimizing care.

As both the prevalence of heart failure (HF) and the number of therapeutic modalities for this condition grow, the search for improved biomarkers to predict prognosis and guide therapy continues. In this issue of the European Heart Journal, Latini et al. report on the relative prognostic value of plasma neurohormones in HF by analysing the relationship between six biomarkers and outcomes in 430...
