The role of immune responses and microbiota in adipose tissue homeostasis. [PDF]
J PhysiolAbstract figure legend Gut microbiota regulate white and brown adipose tissue homeostasis via modulation of gut hormone secretion, activation of pathogen‐associated pattern receptors and production of bioactive molecules and metabolites such as short‐chain fatty acids, endocannabinoids, amino acid derivates and bile acids, all of which affect ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Proenkephalin Predicts Striatal Atrophy Decades before Clinical Motor Diagnosis in Huntington's Disease. [PDF]
Mov DisordAbstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by early, selective, progressive vulnerability of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs). Proenkephalin (PENK), a precursor of opioid peptides abundantly expressed in MSNs, is a promising biomarker of striatal integrity, but region‐specific associations and its potential for early‐stage ...

Opioid Receptors in Immune and Glial Cells-Implications for Pain Control [PDF]
, 2020 Opioid receptors comprise μ (MOP), δ (DOP), κ (KOP), and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP) receptors. Opioids are agonists of MOP, DOP, and KOP receptors, whereas nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an agonist of NOP receptors.

New Aspects of Thromboangiitis obliterans (von Winiwarter-Buerger's Disease) [PDF]
, 1984 The existence of thromboangiitis obliterans as a clinical entity has been a matter of debate for many years. In contrast to other immunovasculitides there is no organ involvement while peripheral vessels are affected.
