Cytoarchitecture of the human paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus [PDF]
Medicinski pregled, 2009 Introduction. The significance of this research in terms of structure and biochemical processes in PVN contributes to further understanding of vital physiological processes from delivery and stress to delicate chemical processes that keep the hypothalamo-hypophysial axis in balance. Conclusion.

Ghrelin indirectly activates hypophysiotropic CRF neurons in rodents. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Ghrelin is a stomach-derived hormone that regulates food intake and neuroendocrine function by acting on its receptor, GHSR (Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor). Recent evidence indicates that a key function of ghrelin is to signal stress to the brain.

Paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus: Axonal projections to the brainstem [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2010 Abstract The paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH) contains many neurons that innervate the brainstem, but information regarding their target sites remains incomplete. Here we labeled neurons in the rat PVH with an anterograde axonal tracer, Phaseolus vulgaris ...

Organization of the neuroendocrine and autonomic hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus
, 2021 A major function of the nervous system is to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. The distinction between our external environment (i.e., the environment that we live in and that is subject to major changes, such as temperature, humidity, and food availability) and our internal environment (i.e., the environment formed by the fluids ...

Efferent projections of prokineticin 2 expressing neurons in the mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus is the predominant circadian clock in mammals. To function as a pacemaker, the intrinsic timing signal from the SCN must be transmitted to different brain regions.

Metabolites, 2021 In the arcuate nucleus, neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons, increase food intake and decrease energy expenditure, and control the activity of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, that decrease food intake and increase energy expenditure.

Lipopolysaccharide-induced neuronal activation in the paraventricular and dorsomedial hypothalamus depends on ambient temperature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Systemic inflammatory response syndrome is associated with either fever or hypothermia, but the mechanisms responsible for switching from one to the other are unknown.

Oxytocin signaling in the posterior hypothalamus prevents hyperphagic obesity in mice
eLife, 2022 Decades of studies have revealed molecular and neural circuit bases for body weight homeostasis. Neural hormone oxytocin (Oxt) has received attention in this context because it is produced by neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), a ...

Fasting induced cytoplasmic Fto expression in some neurons of rat hypothalamus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Fat mass and obesity associated protein (Fto) is a nucleic acid demethylase, with a preference for thymine or uracil, according to the recent structural data. This fact suggests that methylated single-stranded RNA, rather than DNA, may be the primary Fto
