Neuroregulatory Peptides

Meaning

Neuroregulatory Peptides are a diverse class of short-chain amino acids that function as chemical messengers, modulating neuronal activity and synaptic transmission throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. These molecules act alongside classical neurotransmitters to influence a vast array of physiological functions, including pain, stress response, sleep-wake cycles, and mood. Their widespread influence makes them key players in the neuroendocrine regulation of overall physiological and psychological well-being.
