An approach to the association between gastrointestinal hormones and dry matter intake in ruminants [PDF]
Las hormonas gastrointestinales están relacionadas con el consumo de alimento. A pesar de que el mecanismo de acción de muchas de estas hormonas en animales no rumiantes es relativamente entendido, en rumiantes su función es aún poco comprendida y muchas

Circadian rhythms and hormonal homeostasis: Pathophysiological implications [PDF]
Over recent years, a deeper comprehension of the molecular mechanisms that control biological clocks and circadian rhythms has been achieved. In fact, many studies have contributed to unravelling the importance of the molecular clock for the regulation ...

Obesity and the gut microbiota: implications of neuroendocrine and immune signaling
An unhealthy diet impairs the symbiotic relationship between the gut microbiota and the host, contributing to obesity. At the intestinal level, identification of host–microbe events essential for proper neuroendocrine/immune signaling is key to the development of microbiome‐based strategies to promote metabolic health in obesity (probiotics ...

Calorie restriction (CR) is neuroprotective in Parkinson's disease (PD) although the mechanisms are unknown. In this study we hypothesized that elevated ghrelin, a gut hormone with neuroprotective properties, during CR prevents neurodegeneration in an 1 ...

A signal transduction blind spot: the function of adenylyl cyclase transmembrane domains
Transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs) are essential for synthesising the universal second messenger cyclic AMP. All tmACs share a common topology that includes a large 12‐helix transmembrane (TM) domain. This domain accounts for ~ 35% of the coding sequence but its function is still an open question.

Bioactivity-guided mass spectral net working reveals a new set of allbicidin derivatives from Xanthomonas albilineans [PDF]
Albicidin is produced by the sugarcane pathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas albilineans and is a potent antibiotic specifically targeting the bacterial DNA gyrase with an IC50 value in the nanomolar range.

Sleep habits in the pathogenesis and management of diabesity
Sleep insufficiency is associated with weight gain, dysglycemia and adverse clinical outcomes through neurohormonal dysregulation impacting on appetite control, hedonic pathways and reward processing, and inflammation while the reasons why long sleepers have worse metabolic health remain obscure. Not only sleep duration matters, but circadian alignment

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

An investigation of the progression from Barrett's esophagus to adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Barrett's esophagus is a metaplasia of the epithelium of the lower esophagus from a normal squamous appearance to a columnar appearance more typically found in the stomach. It is normally caused by prolonged gastric reflux. While Barrett's esophagus is
