Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

Astrocytes Control Food Intake by Inhibiting AGRP Neuron Activity via Adenosine A1 Receptors
It is well recognized that feeding behavior in mammals is orchestrated by neurons within the medial basal hypothalamus. However, it remains unclear whether food intake is also under the control of glial cells.

Abstract Background and Purpose Pharmacological inhibition of TRPC4 and/or TRPC5 channels reduces Pavlovian aversion memory in stressed mice and reduces amygdala reactivity to aversion in humans with depression. The aims of this mouse study were to improve understanding of these anxiolytic processes, determine whether there are corrective effects on ...

Hypothalamic circuits regulating appetite and energy homeostasis: pathways to obesity
The ‘obesity epidemic’ represents a major global socioeconomic burden that urgently calls for a better understanding of the underlying causes of increased weight gain and its associated metabolic comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and ...

Enhanced at puberty 1 (EAP1) is a new transcriptional regulator of the female neuroendocrine reproductive axis [PDF]
The initiation of mammalian puberty and the maintenance of female reproductive cycles are events controlled by hypothalamic neurons that secrete the decapeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

Plasticity of the melanocortin system: determinants and possible consequences on food intake
The melanocortin system is one of the most important neuronal pathways involved in the regulation of food intake and is probably the best characterized.

In the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, tanycyte-neuron interactions regulate glucose homeostasis and feeding behavior. Previously, we reported that monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) 1 and 4 are localized in tanycytes, whereas MCT2 is present in ...

Efferent projections of C3 adrenergic neurons in the rat central nervous system [PDF]
C3 neurons constitute one of three known adrenergic nuclei in the rat central nervous system (CNS). While the adrenergic C1 cell group has been extensively characterized both physiologically and anatomically, the C3 nucleus has remained relatively ...
