| Abstract |
Neuropeptide W (NPW) and neuropeptide B (NPB) are two structurally and functionally related regulatory peptides, which are highly expressed in several brain regions and, additionally, in some peripheral tissues. Nevertheless, their distributions in the tissues are not similar. They act on target tissues via two subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors which are designated as NPBWR1 (GPR7) and NPBWR2 (GPR8), respectively, and possess different binding affinities. NPB activates NPBWR1, whereas NPW stimulates both the receptors with similar potency. Both of these peptides takes a part in the central regulation of neuroendocrine axes, feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, cardiovascular functions, circadian rhythm, pain sensation, modulation of inflammatory pain, and emotions. Over the past few years, studies have shown that NPB is also involved in sleep regulation. On the contrary, NPW participates in regulation of vascular myogenic tone, inhibits gastric tension sensitive vagal afferents and insulin secretion. Also, expression of NPW in the stomach is regulated by feeding. Abovementioned findings clearly demonstrate the functional diversity among NPW versus NPB signaling systems. In this review, signal transduction pathways of NPW/NPB are critically evaluated and observed together with mapping of expression of their signaling systems. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 October 2023.
All research outputs
#5,217,444
of 24,590,593 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#2,666
of 15,100 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#93,375
of 334,656 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#122
of 479 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,590,593 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 15,100 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 334,656 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 479 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
