Effect of Social Rank on Gut Microbes and Their Metabolites of Greater Long‐Tailed Hamsters (Tscherskia triton)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Social rank in greater long‐tailed hamsters (Tscherskia triton) shapes gut microbiota composition and metabolite profiles. Dominant males exhibit a “high‐vigilance, metabolically activated” phenotype, with elevated aggression and specific gut microbiota enriched in energy‐harvesting taxa and fecal queuine.

Mapping neuronal inputs to Kiss1 neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the mouse.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The normal function of the mammalian reproductive axis is strongly influenced by physiological, metabolic and environmental factors. Kisspeptin neuropeptides, encoded by the Kiss1 gene, are potent regulators of the mammalian reproductive axis by ...

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.

Glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor systems in the hypothalamus and the brainstem regulate feeding and weight through distinct pathways

Journal of Diabetes Investigation
The report by Adriaenssens et al. in JCI Insight 22 May 2023 explored the role and property of the neurons that express glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) in the brainstem and hypothalamus.

Knockout of inositol-requiring enzyme 1α in pro-opiomelanocortin neurons decreases fat mass via increasing energy expenditure [PDF]

Open Biology, 2016
Although numerous functions of inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) have been identified, a role of IRE1α in pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus is largely unknown.

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.

SemaGBA: A System Dynamics Model of the Semaglutide‐Responsive Gut‐Brain Axis A Model of How the Brain and Semaglutide Regulate Appetite and Weight

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Semaglutide is a GLP‐1 receptor agonist for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Its clinical effects are well established, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to use computational modelling to generate hypotheses about semaglutide's long‐term metabolic (body weight, net energy intake, blood glucose ...

Mast cell promotes obesity by activating microglia in hypothalamus

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundObesity has become a significant public health issue, yet its underlying mechanisms remain complex. The hypothalamus, a crucial part of the central nervous system, plays a vital role in maintaining energy balance.

Gene expression atlas of energy balance brain regions

JCI Insight, 2021
Energy balance is controlled by interconnected brain regions in the hypothalamus, brainstem, cortex, and limbic system. Gene expression signatures of these regions can help elucidate the pathophysiology underlying obesity. RNA sequencing was conducted on
