Hormone and Metabolite Changes associated with Extended Breeding Fasts in Male Northern Elephant Seals (Mirounga Angustirostris) [PDF]
We measured metabolic hormones and several key metabolites in breeding adult male northern elephant seals to examine the regulation of fuel metabolism during extended natural fasts of over 3 months associated with high levels of energy expenditure. Males

The Essentiality of Amino Acids in Healthiness and Disease State: Type II Diabetes as a Case Study
This review investigates the functions of amino acids in normal physiological states, their potential as a diagnostic biomarker, the probable risk of deficiency, and the therapeutic ability for managing and preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus. ABSTRACT A healthy life depends on the availability and the synthesis of amino acids as they are building ...

ABSTRACT Platinum‐based chemotherapeutics, particularly cisplatin, are crucial in the treatment of various malignancies due to their strong antitumor effects. However, a significant side effect of cisplatin is muscle atrophy, which severely impairs physical strength, diminishes quality of life and complicates cancer therapy.

Constitutive and ghrelin-dependent GHSR1a activation impairs CaV2.1 and CaV2.2 currents in hypothalamic neurons [PDF]
The growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHSR1a) has the highest constitutive activity of any G protein coupled receptor (GPCR). GHSR1a mediates the action of the hormone ghrelin and, its activation increases transcriptional and electrical ...

Neuroendocrine Regulation of Metabolism [PDF]
Given the current environment in most developed countries, it is a challenge to maintain a good balance between calories consumed and calories burned, although maintenance of metabolic balance is key to good health. Therefore, understanding how metabolic

Hypotheses in light detection by vertebrate ancient opsin in the bird brain
Abstract Extra‐retinal photoreception is common across fish and avian species. In birds, the hypothalamus contains non‐visual photoreceptors that detect light and regulate multiple endocrine systems. To date, light‐dependent control of seasonal reproduction is one of the most well‐studied systems that require deep brain photoreception.

Abstract Cardiometabolic diseases—including Type 2 diabetes and obesity—remain leading causes of global mortality. Recent advancements in metabolomics have facilitated the identification of metabolites that are integral to the development of insulin resistance, a characteristic feature of cardiometabolic disease. Key metabolites, such as branched‐chain

Circulating concentrations of BDNF, GLP‐1 and IL‐8 were altered only in abstinent individuals with AUD, likely reflecting greater disease burden and comorbidities compared to current drinkers. ABSTRACT Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is associated with changes in endocrine and immune system function. This study is a secondary analysis aimed at investigating

We identified cDNA encoding a functional growth hormone secretagogue-receptor 1a (GHS-R1a, ghrelin receptor) in two species of anuran amphibian, bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) and Japanese tree frog (Hyla japonica). Deduced receptor protein for bullfrog and
