Association of Melanocortin 4 Receptor gene polymorphism with growth traits in Bligon goat

Journal of the Indonesian Tropical Animal Agriculture, 2018
Melanocortin 4 receptor gene is a potential marker gene for growth performance in ruminant and non-ruminant animals. The objective of this study was to perform allele and genotype frequencies, and association of melanocortin 4 receptor with growth traits

Pathophysiology of melanocortin receptors and their accessory proteins. [PDF]

, 2018
The melanocortin receptors (MCRs) and their accessory proteins (MRAPs) are involved in regulation of a diverse range of endocrine pathways. Genetic variants of these components result in phenotypic variation and disease. The MC1R is expressed in skin and

Mutually Opposite Signal Modulation by Hypothalamic Heterodimerization of Ghrelin and Melanocortin-3 Receptors [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Interaction and cross-talk of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are of considerable interest because an increasing number of examples implicate a profound functional and physiological relevance of homo- or hetero-oligomeric GPCRs. The ghrelin (growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR)) and melanocortin-3 (MC3R) receptors are both known to have ...

Analysis of endocrine disruption effect of Roundup® in adrenal gland of male rats

Toxicology Reports, 2015
The effect of Roundup® on adrenal gland steroidogenesis and signaling pathway associated with steroid production was investigated. Doses of 10, 50, 100 and 250 mg/kg bw/d Roundup® were administered for two weeks to adult male rats. The 10 mg/kg bw/d dose

Prolonged exposure to artificial light and carcinogenesis: A systematic review of oncostatic mechanisms associated with melatonin pathways

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN), particularly at blue wavelengths, disrupts circadian rhythms by suppressing melatonin, thereby increasing cancer susceptibility. This systematic review consolidates evidence linking prolonged ALAN exposure to an elevated risk of breast and prostate tumors.

Curcumin ameliorates oxaliplatin-induced allodynia response and melanocortin downregulation in the spinal cord

Research Results in Pharmacology
Introduction: Oxaliplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapy agent that often causes chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). This effect limits the potential activity and decreases the cancer patient’s quality of life. Melanocortin and transient

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...
