Understanding the Health Effect of a Bioactive Peptide From Egg: A Pilot Study
Testing how an egg-derived peptide affects health in people with obesity and high blood pressure
📍 University of Alberta · Edmonton, Alberta · Get directions →
Bioactive peptides derived from food proteins show potential for improving human health. One of such promising peptides is namely IRW made from egg white hydrolysate and composed of three peptides.

Pharmaco-Neuroimaging Studies of Approach/Avoidance Behaviors and Post-Mortem Studies: Pharmacological Manipulation
Testing whether a brain drug affects decision-making in depression and anxiety
📍 Mclean Hospital · Belmont, MA · Get directions →
The study will investigate whether a nociceptin receptor antagonist will normalize neural and behavioral processes of approach/avoidance decision-making in unmedicated individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders. More specifically, the study aims to investigate dysregulation within (1) corticostriatal-midbrain circuitry and (2) nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide and the nociceptin receptor (NOPR).
