Genetic characterization of coat color genes in Brazilian Crioula sheep from a conservation nucleus [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2017 : The objective of this work was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in resequencing data from MC1R, ASIP, and TYRP1 genes derived from Crioula sheep (Ovis aris) with different coat colors.

PDK1-Foxo1 in agouti-related peptide neurons regulates energy homeostasis by modulating food intake and energy expenditure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Insulin and leptin intracellular signaling pathways converge and act synergistically on the hypothalamic phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase/3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1).

Adaptive variation in beach mice produced by two interacting pigmentation genes.
PLoS Biology, 2007 Little is known about the genetic basis of ecologically important morphological variation such as the diverse color patterns of mammals. Here we identify genetic changes contributing to an adaptive difference in color pattern between two subspecies of ...

Hypothalamic mTOR signaling mediates the orexigenic action of ghrelin.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Current evidence suggests that ghrelin, a stomach derived peptide, exerts its orexigenic action through specific modulation of Sirtuin1 (SIRT1)/p53 and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways, which ultimately increase the expression of agouti ...

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2010 The agouti signaling protein (ASIP)/melanocortin signaling system regulates lipid metabolism in humans but not in mice. To examine whether the system is present in adipose tissues in chickens, we performed reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction

The differential expression of MC1R regulators in dorsal and ventral quail plumages during embryogenesis: Implications for plumage pattern formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Melanin pigmentation patterns are ubiquitous in animals and function in crypsis, physical protection, thermoregulation and signalling. In vertebrates, pigmentation patterns formed over large body regions as well as within appendages (hair/feathers) may ...

Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Caloric restriction has anti-inflammatory effects. However, the coordinated physiological actions that lead to reduced inflammation in a state of caloric deficit (hunger) are largely unknown.

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2017 The basic colour in horses, such as black, brown and chestnut is affected by only two genes MC1R and ASIP. Other colours in horses are affected by modifying genes, such as dilution gene MATP.

Hypothalamic GHR—SIRT1 Axis in Fasting
Cells, 2021 Many aspects of physiological functions are controlled by the hypothalamus, a brain region that connects the neuroendocrine system to whole-body metabolism.
