Setmelanotide in Bardet‐Biedl Syndrome: A Case Report

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide is a melanocortin‐4‐receptor agonist used for the treatment of hyperphagia in the genetic obesity syndrome Bardet‐Biedl. Presented is a case of diffuse hyperpigmentation in a patient treated with setmelanotide, which represents the most common side effect of this medication.

Striking Suture Zone Mismatch Between Nuclear and Mitochondrial Markers in North African Chalcides ocellatus (Squamata: Scincidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Linnaean and Wallacean shortfalls remain pervasive even among common and widespread Mediterranean taxa, limiting our understanding of evolutionary history and species boundaries. The Ocellated Skink Chalcides ocellatus complex illustrates this issue, with disputed subspecific taxonomy and deep mitochondrial divergences across North Africa and ...

Study on Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism of MC3R and MC4R Genes with Carcass and Meat Quality Traits in Chicken

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2009
Body composition, fat deposition and meat quality are important traits in chickens. Melanocortin receptor (MCR) plays an important role in central melanocortin system (CMS) and muscle cells.

Through the Sands of Time: Evolutionary History and Systematics of the Awl‐Headed Snakes (Colubridae: Lytorhynchus) in the Saharo‐Sindian Region

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The psammophilous colubrid genus Lytorhynchus is widely distributed in the deserts of the Saharo‐Sindian region and adjacent areas. The taxonomy of the genus and the number of recognised species have remained unstable since the last taxonomic revision in 1970, with differing views on the taxonomic status of L. gaddi and L. kennedyi.

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 ...

Understanding the Molecular Processes of Obesity and the Anti‐Obesity Properties of Bioactive Substances Found in Tea

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Obesity, a severe worldwide health concern, is characterized as an excessive deposit of fat in the human body. It has various ramifications that endanger human health and increase the financial expense. Obesity raises the risk of several illnesses, notably cardiovascular disease, NALFD, and diabetes, and has been associated with shorter ...

Coat Color of Korean Brindle Cattle and Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) mRNA: Variation of 3'-Untranslated Region and Expression

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2014
The objective of this study was to determine the breed differences in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of MC1R mRNA, which may be used to distinguish Korean brindle cattle (Chikso) from other breeds. We investigated the relationship between the variation

Molecular Mechanisms of Food Bioactive Constituents in the Management of Obesity and Hypertension: A Critical Review

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Obesity and hypertension co‐exist and share molecular mechanisms in terms of dietary therapy, modulated by food bioactive constituents. ABSTRACT Obesity and hypertension are among the most pressing global public health challenges. They frequently co‐exist, with obesity‐related hypertension accounting for an estimated 75% of the hypertension burden ...
