Significance of the Melanocortin 1 and Endothelin B Receptors in Melanocyte Homeostasis and Prevention of Sun-Induced Genotoxicity

Frontiers in Genetics, 2016
The membrane bound melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), and the endothelin B receptor (ENDBR) are two G-protein coupled receptors that play important roles in constitutive regulation of melanocytes and their response to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), the main ...

Cutaneous Pigmentary Changes During Setmelanotide Therapy: Dermoscopic and Confocal Findings in Two Patients

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide is a melanocortin‐4 receptor agonist approved for the treatment of rare forms of genetic obesity. Through off‐target activation of the melanocortin‐1 receptor, it may induce cutaneous pigmentation changes; however, data regarding its effects on melanocytic nevi remain limited.

Central melanocortins regulate the motivation for sucrose reward. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The role of the melanocortin (MC) system in feeding behavior is well established. Food intake is potently suppressed by central infusion of the MC 3/4 receptor agonist α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), whereas the MC 3/4 receptor inverse-agonist ...

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 ...

Effectiveness and Safety of Setmelanotide in a Patient With a Heterozygous PCSK1 Deficiency

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide, a melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist, is a promising pharmacological treatment option for people with rare monogenic obesity conditions affecting the leptin‐melanocortin signaling pathway, including proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene mutations.

Musculoskeletal Outcomes of Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists Versus Other Antiobesity Agents in Nondiabetic Adults

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the association of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) with risks of osteoporosis, major osteoporotic fractures, and degenerative musculoskeletal disorders in nondiabetic adults with obesity compared with other obesity medications.

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

SURMOUNT‐REAL UK: A Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Effectiveness of Tirzepatide in Adults With Obesity

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SURMOUNT‐REAL UK will evaluate the effectiveness of tirzepatide when offered in addition to standard‐of‐care (SoC) in adults with Class I obesity (BMI ≥ 30 and ≤ 34.9 kg/m2) and without diabetes in a UK primary care setting. Methods A 5‐year, phase 4, multicenter, open‐label, pragmatic randomized clinical trial is enabled through ...

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
