The orexigenic effect of ghrelin is mediated through central activation of the endogenous cannabinoid system [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate appetite, this effect possibly being mediated by the activation of hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key enzyme in appetite and metabolism regulation. The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1)

Abundant Neural circRNA Cdr1as Is Not Indispensable for Retina Maintenance
Cdr1as is the abundant circular RNA (circRNA) in human and vertebrate retinas. However, the role of Cdr1as in the retina remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to generate a Cdr1as knockout (KO) mouse model and investigate the retinal consequences of ...

Mu-opioid receptor knockout mice show diminished food-anticipatory activity [PDF]
We have previously suggested that during or prior to activation of anticipatory behaviour to a coming reward, mu-opioid receptors are activated. To test this hypothesis schedule induced food-anticipatory activity in mu-opioid receptor knockout mice was ...

Correction of the iron overload defect in beta-2-microglobulin knockout mice by lactoferrin abolishes their increased susceptibility to tuberculosis. [PDF]
As a resident of early endosomal phagosomes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is connected to the iron uptake system of the host macrophage. beta-2-microglobulin (beta2m) knockout (KO) mice are more susceptible to tuberculosis than wild-type mice, which is ...

Analysis of the Role of the Mc4r System in Development, Growth, and Puberty of Medaka
In mammals the melanocortin 4 receptor (Mc4r) signaling system has been mainly associated with the regulation of appetite and energy homeostasis. In fish of the genus Xiphophorus (platyfish and swordtails) puberty onset is genetically determined by a ...

"Plasmodium falciparum" transfection technology for the analysis of "var" gene regulation and knockout investigation [PDF]
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by protozoans of the genus Plasmodium, which are injected by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito during a blood meal. Out of the four species that infect humans, P. falciparum is the most important.
