The small peptide hormone relaxin is a member of a rapidly evolving family of hormones and growth factors, whose mode of action appears to be particularly adapted to purely mammalian physiology. It is representative of a new category of hormones, ref... Read More about Diverse signalling mechanisms used by relaxin in natural cells and tissues: The evolution of a "neohormone".

Peptide YY (PYY) And Neuromedin U (NMU): Effects On Ingestive Behavior (2006)
Book Chapter

This chapter discusses the effects of Neuromedin U (NMU) and Peptide YY (PYY) on ingestive behavior and their potential as anti-obesity agents. Many peptides are synthesized and released from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the central nervous sy... Read More about Peptide YY (PYY) And Neuromedin U (NMU): Effects On Ingestive Behavior.

Neuromedin U (NMU) is one of the most abundant neuropeptides and has been found in significant concentrations in both the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the central nervous system (CNS). There are two molecular forms of NMU; an icosapentapeptide (NM... Read More about Neuromedin U (NMU): Brain Peptide.
