The volume highlights recent and new developments in all fields of
neuropeptides in biological homeostasis regulation such as body
weight and metabolism, reproduction, osmotic pressure reproduction.
Special attention given to the phylogenetic aspects of
neuroendocrinology, from invertebrates to mammals including
humans. The main target of the neuropeptides presented and
discussed are newly found G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
ligands such as orexin, ghrelin, GALP, NPW, neuromedin U, 26FRa,
urotensin II and metastin, but other important neuropeptides such
as GHRH, CCK, GnIH, ANP are discusssed.
This volume is based on a conference held as a satellite symposium of the 9th VIP/PACAP and Related Peptides Symposium in Kagoshima in Oct 5-8th in 2009.
