General description

The MILLIPLEX® Rat/Mouse Neuropeptide Bead Panel, containing 5 biomarkers. This kit may be used for the analysis of all or any combination of the above analytes in tissue/cell lysate/culture supernatant samples and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Serum or plasma samples may also be used, and will need to be extracted, however we do not recommend using the panel for serum and plasma Substance P. The kit contains enough material to analyze 38 samples in duplicate, including the standard curve and two quality controls.

An important note about this panel is that the samples may be extracted using either the acetonitrile precipitation technique or the Waters 96-well HLB extraction plate. Please refer to the protocol for more information on both methods. The necessary components to perform the extractions are not included with the kit.

The central nervous system is a complex environment consisting of billions of neurons as well as glial support cells. These neurons use many different chemical signals to communicate information, including neurotransmitters, cannabinoids, peptides, and gases such as nitric oxide. Neuropeptides are secreted primarily from the central and peripheral nervous systems, exerting a broad spectrum of biological functions that includes the regulation of metabolism, reproduction, and immunity.

Panel Type: Neuroscience

Application

  • Analytes: α-MSH, β-Endorphin, Neurotensin, Oxytocin, Substance P.
  • Recommended Sample type: serum, plasma, CSF, and tissue culture
  • Recommended Sample dilution: This assay requires 50 μL extracted serum or plasma sample per well or 50 μL neat CSF or culture media per well
  • Assay Run Time: Overnight
  • NOTE: this is a competitive assay.

Features and Benefits

Design your multiplex kit by choosing available analytes within this panel.

To reveal unknown and potentially important mechanisms of drug action, multi-biomarker discovery approaches are increasingly used. Time-course relationships between drug action and multi-biomarker profiles, however, are typically missing, while such relationships will provide increased insight in the underlying body processes.
Willem J van den Brink et al.
British journal of pharmacology, 175(19), 3832-3843 (2018-07-28)
Because biological systems behave as networks, multi-biomarker approaches increasingly replace single biomarker approaches in drug development. To improve the mechanistic insights into CNS drug effects, a plasma neuroendocrine fingerprint was identified using multi-biomarker pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modelling.

Neurobiology of aging, 83, 1-10 (2019-10-05)
The perimenopausal transition at middle age is often associated with hot flashes and sleep disruptions, metabolic changes, and other symptoms. Whereas the mechanisms for these processes are incompletely understood, both aging (AG) and a loss of ovarian estrogens play contributing

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients exhibit dysfunctional energy metabolism and weight loss, which is negatively correlated with survival, together with neuroinflammation. However, the possible contribution of neuroinflammation to deregulations of feeding behaviour in ALS has not been studied in detail.

We have shown that exposure of rats to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) during gestation induces autistic-like behaviors in juvenile offspring and pioglitazone post treatment corrects social and communication deficits. The first objective of the present study was to evaluate the cognition of
