Journal Article

International Union of Pharmacology. XXI. Structure, distribution, and functions of cholecystokinin receptors.

TL;DR: The peptide cholecystokinin has been shown to mediate pancreatic secretion and contraction of gallbladder and was described in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) as a gastrin-like peptide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in expression of oligosaccharides, neuropeptides, carbonic anhydrase and neurofilament in rat primary afferent neurons retrogradely labelled via skin, muscle or visceral nerves.

TL;DR: This study shows that the patterns of immunohistochemical labelling and cell size of primary afferent neurons differ according to their peripheral target tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gastrointestinal hormones and the dialogue between gut and brain.

TL;DR: There is emerging evidence that diet‐induced obesity locks the phenotype of vagal afferent neurons in a state similar to that normally occurring during fasting, which may provide new targets in developing treatments for obesity and feeding disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of cholecystokininA and cholecystokininB receptors expressed by vagal afferent neurons

TL;DR: It is concluded that cholecystokininA and gastrin-colecyStokininB receptors are synthesized by nodose ganglion cells, and that the receptor proteins are transported to the periphery along afferent fibres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peptidergic innervation and endocrine cells of insect midgut

TL;DR: Investigations on Galleria revealed that the gut innervation persists during midgut reconstruction in the course of metamorphosis, and all insects seem to contain antigens that can be detected with antisera to pancreatic polypeptide, FMRFamide, enkephalins, and vasopressins.
