Front Pharmacol
. 2021 Jul;
12:685631.
PMID: 34234676
The behavioural responses to nicotine involve appetite-regulatory hormones; however, the effects of the anorexigenic hormone amylin on reward-related behaviours induced by nicotine remain to be established. Previous studies have shown...

Prog Neurobiol
. 2020 Dec;
200:101969.
PMID: 33278524
Alcohol causes stimulatory behavioral responses by activating reward-processing brain areas including the laterodorsal (LDTg) and ventral tegmental areas (VTA) and the nucleus accumbens (NAc). Systemic administration of the amylin and...

Horm Behav
. 2020 Nov;
127:104885.
PMID: 33166561
Besides food intake reduction, activation of the amylin pathway by salmon calcitonin (sCT), an amylin and calcitonin receptor agonist, inhibits alcohol-mediated behaviors in rodents. This involves brain areas processing reward,...

Transl Psychiatry
. 2020 Jul;
10(1):238.
PMID: 32678077
Given the limited efficacy of available pharmacotherapies for treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD), the need for new medications is substantial. Preclinical studies have shown that acute administration of glucagon-like...

Psychopharmacology (Berl)
. 2020 Jul;
237(11):3249-3257.
PMID: 32651639
Rationale: Amylin receptors consist of the calcitonin receptor (CTR) and one of three receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs). The identification of amylin receptors in areas processing reward, namely laterodorsal tegmental area...

Addict Biol
. 2020 May;
26(2):e12910.
PMID: 32383257
Alcohol use disorder is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder affecting both males and females worldwide; however, the efficacy of current pharmacotherapies varies. Recent advances show that gut-brain peptides, like amylin, regulate...

Neuropharmacology
. 2019 Oct;
162:107818.
PMID: 31647973
Emerging evidence suggest that appetite-regulating peptides modulate social behaviors. We here investigate whether the anorexigenic peptide neuromedin U (NMU) modulates sexual behavior in male mice. However, instead of modulating sexual...

Addict Biol
. 2019 May;
25(3):e12764.
PMID: 31069918
Albeit neuromedin U (NMU) attenuates alcohol-mediated behaviours, its mechanisms of action are poorly defined. Providing that the behavioural effects of alcohol are processed within the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell, anterior...

Psychoneuroendocrinology
. 2019 Feb;
103:284-295.
PMID: 30771711
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), an incretin hormone that reduces food intake, was recently established as a novel regulator of alcohol-mediated behaviors. Clinically available analogues pass freely into the brain, but...

Neuropsychopharmacology
. 2019 Feb;
44(6):1093-1102.
PMID: 30710109
Recent findings have identified salmon calcitonin (sCT), an amylin receptor agonist and analogue of endogenous amylin, as a potential regulator of alcohol-induced activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system and alcohol...
