neuropeptide K

08/01/2009 - "Study 1 - Nerves in colonic resection specimens with either acute diverticulitis (AD, n = 16) or chronic diverticulitis (CD, n = 16) were assessed for neuropeptide expression recording % area staining with protein gene product (PGP9.5), substance P (SP), neuropeptide K (NPK), pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and galanin. "

07/01/1988 - "Neuropeptide K-(1-24)-peptide was also detected in extracts of metastatic tumor tissue from four patients with midgut carcinoid tumors. "
08/01/1987 - "The plasma concentration of the tachykinin neuropeptide K (NPK) was elevated in 67 patients (66%), 63 of whom had tumors of the mid-gut region. "
11/07/1985 - "Both tumors also contained a minor immunoreactive peak which eluted from a Sephadex G-50 sizing column at a position corresponding to a molecular weight of 4000 which probably represents neuropeptide K. "

04/05/1989 - "Eleven of the 20 patients (55%) had a greater than 50% reduction of tumor markers (urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid or plasma neuropeptide K), showing objective tumor response. "

07/01/1988 - "The fasting plasma concentration of neuropeptide K-(1-24)-peptide was elevated in a patient with the carcinoid syndrome (821 fmol/ml compared with less than 18 fmol/ml in healthy subjects) and rose approximately 2-fold after intravenous pentagastrin. "

11/01/2008 - "The central mechanisms that mediate neuropeptide K (NPK) associated anorexia are poorly understood in any species, and information in this area of avian biology is totally lacking. "
