Abstract: This disclosure reveals that cyclic corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) antagonist peptides (such as astressin B, its functional fragments, and their derivatives) induce hair growth and prevent hair loss in vivo. This important discovery enables, for instance, methods of promoting hair growth, and methods of treating hair loss (such as the hair loss that occurs normally in some individuals or that is the result of a health disorder or therapeutic treatment). Exemplary cyclic CRF antagonist peptides useful in the disclosed methods are provided throughout the disclosure.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of using fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitors alone or in combination for the treatment or prevention of abdominal, visceral or pelvic pain. Also described herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a FAAH inhibitor, alone or in combination with an additional therapeutic agent for the treatment of abdominal, visceral or pelvic pain.
