Effects of Various LED Light Spectra on Growth, Gonadal Development, and Growth-/Reproduction-Related Hormones in the Juvenile Red Spotted Grouper, Epinephelus akaara

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
The light spectrum is a key environmental cue involved in growth and reproduction in teleosts. This study investigated the effects of exposure on juvenile red spotted grouper exposed to white (control), red (590 nm), blue (480 nm), and green (520 nm ...

Stearic acid induces CCK and GLP-1 upregulation via GPR120/PLC-β, leading to reduced appetite in Hu sheep fed with rice straw

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Due to the poor palatability of straw, feeding untreated rice straw reduces ruminant feed intake, thus affecting the production efficiency of animal husbandry.

A descending inhibitory mechanism of nociception mediated by an evolutionarily conserved neuropeptide system in Drosophila

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Nociception is a neural process that animals have developed to avoid potentially tissue-damaging stimuli. While nociception is triggered in the peripheral nervous system, its modulation by the central nervous system is a critical process in mammals ...

Role of fat hydrolysis in regulating glucagon-like Peptide-1 secretion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Context: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced by specialized cells in the gut and secreted in response to carbohydrates and lipids. The mechanisms regulating fat-stimulated GLP-1 release have, however, not been clarified in detail.

The Role of GI Peptides in Functional Dyspepsia and Gastroparesis: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2020
Functional dyspepsia (FD) and gastroparesis (GP) are common disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The pathophysiology of these conditions is likely to be heterogenous, and factors such as altered motility, sensitivity and response to nutrition ...

Mechanism of Action and Structure–Activity Relationships of Tetracyclic Small Molecules Acting as Universal Positive Allosteric Modulators of the Cholecystokinin Receptor

open access: yesMembranes, 2023
As part of an ongoing effort to develop a drug targeting the type 1 cholecystokinin receptor (CCK1R) to help prevent and/or treat obesity, we recently performed a high throughput screening effort of small molecules seeking candidates that enhanced the ...

Regulation of fat-stimulated neurotensin secretion in healthy subjects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
CONTEXT: Cholecystokinin (CCK) and neurotensin are stimulated during meal intake by the presence of fat in the small intestine. The sequence of events suggests that fat hydrolysis is crucial for triggering the release.
