Neuropeptides
Function of Neuropeptides: There are cells in the brain that produce various neuropeptides, and these neuropeptides do just about everything. They can be either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory, with anti-inflammatory being preferred. They are responsible for many functions: They control our mood, energy levels, pain and pleasure reception, body weight, and ability to solve problems; they also form memories and regulate our immune system. These active little messengers in the brain actually turn on cellular function in the skin.
Characteristics of Neuropeptides:
Peptides are compounds consisting of two or more amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), chained together by what is called a peptide bond.
Neuropeptides are peptides released by neurons (brain cells) as intercellular messengers. Some neuropeptides function as neurotransmitters, and others function as hormones.
Peptides and neuropeptides, like many substances in our bodies (think cholesterol) can work both for and against us. Anti-inflammatory neuropeptides work for us to reduce inflamation fo the skin.
Benefits of Anti-Inflammatory Neuropeptides:
Increase production of collagen and elastin.
