Camptothecin-Loaded Liposomes with α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Enhance Cytotoxicity Toward and Cellular Uptake by Melanomas: An Application of Nanomedicine on Natural Product

Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, 2013
In this study, we attempted to develop functional liposomes loaded with camptothecin and attached to α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) to target melanoma cells.

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Cortical‐Hypothalamic Assembloids Uncover the Cortical Regulation of Hypothalamic Responses to Fatty Acid

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
By assembling cortical‐hypothalamic circuits, we show that cortical input protects hypothalamic neurons from fatty acid‐induced damage, which activates PGC1α to boost mitochondrial function. This reveals a cortico‐hypothalamic axis that defends against metabolic stress.

ACTH suppression and adverse effects of cabergoline in horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background The diagnosis and management of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) in horses includes evaluating abnormal plasma concentrations of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Treatment commonly includes the oral dopamine agonist pergolide mesylate, which suppresses the pathologic overproduction of ACTH.

Bakuchiol: From structural mimicry to systems‐level skin biology

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Convergent outcomes, divergent mechanisms: bakuchiol vs. retinol. Bakuchiol exhibits functional convergence with retinol in improving extracellular matrix integrity, epidermal differentiation and barrier function, while operating through distinct mechanisms.

Reduced α-MSH Underlies Hypothalamic ER-Stress-Induced Hepatic Gluconeogenesis

Cell Reports, 2015
Alterations in ER homeostasis have been implicated in the pathophysiology of obesity and type-2 diabetes (T2D). Acute ER stress induction in the hypothalamus produces glucose metabolism perturbations.

Influence of Different Multilayer Zirconia Materials on the In Vitro Load‐Bearing Capacity of Resin‐Bonded Fixed Partial Dentures in the Posterior Region

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Comparison of the load‐bearing capacity and failure pattern of posterior resin‐bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) differing in retainer design, zirconia material, and vertical nesting position. Materials and Methods RBFPDs replacing a maxillary first molar were fabricated with 2 retainer designs (inlay‐retained, IR; wing‐retained,

Serotypic and Genomic Diversity of Vibrio anguillarum in Rainbow Trout Farms in Turkey: Implications for Vibriosis Control and Vaccine Candidate Selection

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Outbreaks of vibriosis caused by Vibrio anguillarum are a persistent constraint on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) aquaculture. However, information on the population structure of field strains in Turkey has been lacking. Here, we report the first systematic serotypic, proteomic, and genomic characterization of 23 V.

Clearance of multiple antibiotic-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci is selectively associated with higher circulating α-melanocyte stimulating hormone in patients evaluated for chronic inflammatory response syndrome

Frontiers in Endocrinology
IntroductionNeuroimmune regulatory peptides play central roles in coordinating inflammatory, metabolic, and mucosal immune processes in humans. Among these, α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a proopiomelanocortin-derived peptide, has been ...
