[f. peptide n. + -ergic after adrenergic, cholinergic adjs.]
Liberating or stimulated by a neuropeptide; spec. designating a neurone which releases one or more particular neuropeptides when stimulated.
1967W. Bargmann et al. in Zeitschr. f. Zellforschung & Mikroskopische Anat. LXXVII. 282 It is proposed that in analogy to cholinergic, adrenergic and aminergic neurones those nerve cells which synthesize octapeptide hormones should be termed peptidergic [G. peptidergen] neurones. It is further suggested to speak of peptidergic synapses if the terminals of such neurones are establishing contact with cells of an endocrine organ. 1973Nature 12 Oct. 288/1 During the meeting a pattern of integration of the neurosecretory systems began to emerge, with a growing awareness of the functional association of the aminergic and peptidergic elements of the hypothalamus. 1978Lancet 4 Feb. 272/2, I prefer to maintain an open mind with respect to non-cholinergic, non-adrenergic nerves. Some may indeed be purinergic, others peptidergic, some may release one neurotransmitter, others a combination. 1985Brit. Med. Jrnl. 14 Sept. 738/1 Possibly the pacemaker may consist of an intrapancreatic ganglion with a vasoactive intestinal peptidergic network of neurones. 1987S. M. Stahl et al. Cognitive Neurochem. xii. 210 The bear encounter provokes a massive autonomic hormonal and peptidergic response. |
