Regulation of leptin by agouti [PDF]
Physiological Genomics, 2000 Claycombe, Kate J., Bing Zhong Xue, Randall L. Mynatt, Michael B. Zemel, and Naïma Moustaïd-Moussa. Regulation of leptin by agouti. Physiol Genomics 2: 101–105, 2000.—Dominant mutations at the mouse Agouti locus lead to ectopic expression of the Agouti gene and exhibit diabetes, obesity, and yellow coat color. Obese yellow mice are hyperinsulinemic and

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.

Oryx, 1974 Both agoutis and the babassu palm thrive in secondary growth where primary rain forest has been removed, as is happening widely in South America, notably in Brazil. The agouti is also a prolific and easily farmed animal that provides good meat. The author suggests that fanning of this native mammal would be much more likely than beef to succeed among ...

Amylin analogues as a novel perspective in anti‐obesity therapy
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Public health systems face a major challenge because of the worldwide obesity epidemic. The number of obese individuals has increased dramatically and, even in Switzerland which may be considered a relatively “lean” country, the numbers are alarmingly high and have reached almost 50% of the adult population.

Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Silicate rock powder (SRP), a slow‐release mineral additive, is increasingly used as a potential mitigation measure against soil acidification in natural areas. SRP addition has led to a higher soil base saturation and small increases in soil nutrient availability.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...
