Nocistatin and nociceptin/orphaninFQ (N/OFQ) are the two new peptides which may have roles in nociception, memory, anxiety, and other biological functions. Nocistatin acts as a functional antagonist to N/OFQ in several functions, but their neuro-anat

Neuropeptides nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and nocistatin (NST) are related to pain modulation. The amounts of these peptides and their precursor protein, prepronociceptin (ppN/OFQ) in the brain, spinal cord and serum samples of rats with partial s

Nocistatin and nociceptin/orphanin FQ are two neuropeptides processed from the same precursor prepronociceptin. They have opposing roles in nociception and several other biological functions. Whereas the location and structure of the nociceptin/orpha

Background. Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that constitute 30% to 50% of total azurophil granule proteins. Although the activation of azurophils during hemodialysis has been reported, including the release of granulocyte lactoferrin, myeloperox

NOCISTATIN was recently isolated from bovine brain and shown to block hyperalgesia and allodynia induced by nociceptin and prostaglandin (PG) E 2 . The counterparts of human, rat and mouse are deduced from their precursor prepronociceptin to be 30, 3

Prolonged tissue damage or injury often leads to chronic pain states such that noxious stimuli evoke hyperalgesia and innocuous tactile stimuli evoke pain (allodynia). The neuropeptide nociceptin, also known as orphanin FQ, is an endogenous ligand fo

Chronic intractable pain caused by postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) can be alleviated by intrathecal (i.t.) steroid therapy. We investigated the possibility that interleukin-6 (IL-6) release in an in vitro system could be a potential marker for evaluatin

Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and nocistatin are derived from the same precursor peptide, prepronociceptin. N/OFQ and nocistatin have been postulated to participate in pain modulation. In this study, we investigated whether the prepronociceptin, N/O
