Neuropeptide FF analog RF9 is not an antagonist of NPFF receptor and decreases food intake in mice after its central and peripheral administration

TLDR
In rat pituitary RC-4B/C cells, RF9 did not reverse the phosphorylation of MAPK/ERK1/2 induced by [Tyr(1)]NPFF, casting doubt on claims that RF9 is an NPFF antagonist.

Physiological Roles of Gonadotropin-Inhibitory Hormone Signaling in the Control of Mammalian Reproductive Axis: Studies in the NPFF1 Receptor Null Mouse

TL;DR: The first mouse line with constitutive inactivation of NPFF1R is characterized, and the impact of elimination of GnIH signaling on reproductive parameters and their modulation by metabolic challenges is documented.

Anxiogenic and Stressor Effects of the Hypothalamic Neuropeptide RFRP-3 Are Overcome by the NPFFR Antagonist GJ14

TL;DR: In in vivo tests of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, GJ14 completely blocked RFRP-3-induced corticosterone release and neuronal activation in CRH neurons, consistent with the dense expression of NPFF1R in the vicinity ofCRH neurons.

Kisspeptin antagonist prevents RF9-induced reproductive changes in female rats

TL;DR: Kisspeptin antagonist, p234, modulates the effects of kisspeptin on reproductive functions and energy balance, whereas RF9 seems to exert only its effects on Reproductive functions by means of GPR54 signaling in female rats.

Identification and Characterization of Two G Protein-coupled Receptors for Neuropeptide FF

TL;DR: The localization of mRNA and binding sites of these receptors in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, the lateral hypothalamus, the spinal trigeminal nuclei, and the thalamic nuclei supports a role for NPFF in pain modulation and suggests a potential role forNPFF1 in feeding.

RF9, a potent and selective neuropeptide FF receptor antagonist, prevents opioid-induced tolerance associated with hyperalgesia

TL;DR: The discovery of a potent and selective NPFF receptor antagonist, RF9, that can be administered systemically and indicate that NPFF receptors are part of a bona fide antiopioid system and that selective antagonists of these receptors could represent useful therapeutic agents for improving the efficacy of opioids in chronic pain treatment.

The expanding family of -RFamide peptides and their effects on feeding behaviour.

TL;DR: One of the emerging themes from recent research is that these peptides are involved in control of feeding behaviour both in invertebrates and in vertebrates, which would seem to be a remarkable example of conservation of chemical structure and biological function throughout nervous system evolution.

The opioid control of lh and fsh release: effects of a met‐enkephalin analogue and naloxone

TL;DR: The results suggest that met‐enkephalin‐like opioid peptides exert a tonic inhibitory control of LH release in both menopausal and young subjects of both sexes, and involves modulation of pulsatile LHRH release.
