Neurotrophic factors are proteins which promote the growth, survival, and differentiation of neurons. The ability of neurotrophic factors to prevent the degeneration of neurons following nerve lesion and in genetic models of neurodegeneration suggest that they offer therapeutic potential in the trea
Changes in the structure and function of five neuropeptide families during evolution are considered. The families of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH), somatostatin (SS), and vasopressin/oxytocin (VP/Oxy) are used as
