Overview

It is only in the last decade that the importance of certain small peptide molecules in the regulation of many aspects of animal metabolism has been recognized. The developing areas of neurochemistry and neuroendocrinology have seen the isolation and characterization of numerous regulatory compounds such as substance P and others. Research of a comparative nature on a number of animal groups is now accumulating. This is a collection of essays brought together to review the field. They cover the distribution and function of regulatory peptides, such as Bombesin, Neurotensin, VIP, the Tachykinins and others, in detail and in a comparative fashion. Integrated cardiovascular systems are also covered.
