Glucocorticoids and HPA axis regulation in the stress–obesity connection: A comprehensive overview of biological, physiological and behavioural dimensions

Clinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Chronic stress, characterized by increased long‐term exposure to the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, is increasingly linked to obesity development. Still, various knowledge gaps persist, including on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of the current review is to provide the latest insights on the connection between stress and ...

Postelectroacupuncture Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (post‐EA FMT) Regulates Gastrointestinal Hormones in Functional Dyspepsia Rats Is Associated With Modulation of the Intestinal Microbiota‐Bile Acid Metabolic Pathway

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Electroacupuncture (EA) reshapes intestinal flora; whether post‐EA fecal microbiota transplantation (post‐EA FMT) regulates gastrointestinal hormones via the gut microbiota–bile acid (BA) pathway remains unclear. Methods Sham EA (SEA) served as control. Gastrointestinal hormones/motility were assessed post‐EA.

In ovo Administration of Ghrelin and Subsequent Prolactin Level in Newly Hatched Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2011
Ghrelin is a prolactin (PRL)-releasing factor in animal species. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of in ovo ghrelin administration on plasma PRL levels in hatched chicks. We divided 350 fertilized eggs into 7 groups: group T1 as the

Disordered pancreatic and gastrointestinal hormone responses to nutrient stimulation in Zambian children with severe acute malnutrition. [PDF]

Exp Physiol
Abstract Nutrient sensing enables the body to detect and respond to nutrient availability through hormonal regulation. In this study, we examined nutrient‐stimulated hormonal responses in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) compared with hospitalized (HC) and community (CC) child comparators.

Physiological and Cardiac Effects of Weight Loss in Adolescents With Atypical Anorexia Nervosa Versus Those Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: A Retrospective Comparative Study

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Adolescents with atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) experience cardiac complications at rates comparable to typical anorexia nervosa, despite remaining within or above a normal weight range. The physiological mechanisms underlying this paradox remain poorly understood.
