The role of insulin receptor substrate 2 in hypothalamic and beta cell function [PDF]

, 2005
Insulin receptor substrate 2 (Irs2) plays complex roles in energy homeostasis. We generated mice lacking Irs2 in beta cells and a population of hypothalamic neurons (RIPCreIrs2KO), in all neurons (NesCreIrs2KO), and in proopiomelanocortin neurons ...

Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants [PDF]

, 2009
The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration

Neuroanatomy of melanocortin-4 receptor pathway in the mouse brain

Open Life Sciences, 2020
Melanocortin-4 receptors (MC4Rs) are key regulators of energy homeostasis and adipose deposition in the central nervous system. Considering that MC4R expression regions and function-related research mainly focus on the paraventricular nucleus (PVN ...

Exploring the impact of Cabotegravir‐Rilpivirine long‐acting on weight gain, body composition and quality of life in adults living with HIV

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Long‐acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (ART) with Cabotegravir (CAB) and Rilpivirine (RPV) offers an alternative to daily oral regimens, improving adherence and patient satisfaction. However, its impact on body composition and metabolism remains underexplored.

A mini‐review of chronic suppression of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis in animals with P‐glycoprotein deficiency

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
This mini‐review describes the pathophysiology of the disrupted hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis in dogs, and probably cats, with the MDR1 (ABCB1) mutation, ABCB1‐1Δ in dogs and ABCB11930‐1931del TC in cats. Clinical consequences in affected animals are discussed and therapeutic interventions to consider are presented.

Current Mechanistic and Pharmacodynamic Understanding of Melanocortin-4 Receptor Activation

Molecules, 2019
In this work we summarize our understanding of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) pathway activation, aiming to define a safe and effective therapeutic targeting strategy for the MC4R.

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.
