Melatonin - leptin interaction and obesity-related genes
Trakya University Journal of Natural SciencesMost living organisms have circadian clocks which maintain rhythm in internal cycles of behavior, physiology, and metabolism, allowing them to anticipate the earth's 24-hour rota-tion.

Hypothalamic Melanocortin System on Feeding Regulation in Birds: A Review
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2011 Regulation of feed intake in chickens represents a complex homeostatic mechanism involving multiple levels of control. Understanding the regulation of feeding behavior can be a very important theme in animal production.

The Melanocortin System in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) and Its Role in Appetite Control
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2020 The melanocortin system is a key neuroendocrine network involved in the control of food intake and energy homeostasis in vertebrates. Within the hypothalamus, the system comprises two main distinct neuronal cell populations that express the neuropeptides

Epigenetic Contributions to the Relationship between Cancer and Dietary Intake of Nutrients, Bioactive Food Components, and Environmental Toxicants [PDF]
, 2012 Cancer encompasses a highly heterogeneous group of diseases. It is thought that transition from promotion to progression in carcinogenesis may be driven primarily by epigenetic abnormalities.

Structural and Molecular Evolutionary Analysis of Agouti and Agouti-Related Proteins
Chemistry & Biology, 2006 Agouti (ASIP) and Agouti-related protein (AgRP) are endogenous antagonists of melanocortin receptors that play critical roles in the regulation of pigmentation and energy balance, respectively, and which arose from a common ancestral gene early in vertebrate evolution.

Determinants of body weight regulation in humans
Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2016 Body weight is regulated by the ability of hypothalamic neurons to orchestrate behavioral, endocrine and autonomic responses via afferent and efferent pathways to the brainstem and the periphery.

Astrocytes: New Targets of Melanocortin 4 Receptor Actions [PDF]
, 2013 Astrocytes exert a wide variety of functions with paramount importance in brain physiology. After injury or infection, astrocytes become reactive and they respond by producing a variety of inflammatory mediators that help maintain brain homeostasis. Loss
