Exercise-induced hypothalamic neuroplasticity: Implications for energy and glucose metabolism

Molecular Metabolism, 2023
Background: Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to undergo functional and structural changes in response to diverse challenges. Converging evidence supports the notion that exercise serves as a metabolic challenge, triggering the release of ...

Increased risk for T cell autoreactivity to ß-cell antigens in the mice expressing the Avy obesity-associated gene. [PDF]

, 2019
There has been considerable debate as to whether obesity can act as an accelerator of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We assessed this possibility using transgenic mice (MIP-TF mice) whose ß-cells express enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Infecting these

Cardiovascular effects of melanocortins [PDF]

European Journal of Pharmacology, 2011
Melanocortins (MSH's) are three structurally related peptides derived from proopiomelanocortin. They regulate several physiologic functions including energy metabolism, appetite, and inflammation. Recent work in rodents has also identified important effects of MSH's, particularly γ-MSH, on sodium metabolism and blood pressure regulation.

Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

MRAP2 modifies the signaling and oligomerization state of the melanocortin-4 receptor

Nature Communications
The melanocortin-4 receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor and a key regulator of appetite and metabolism. It can interact with the melanocortin-receptor accessory protein 2, a single transmembrane helix protein known to interact with several different ...

Genomic Insights Into Risperidone Treatment Outcomes in Children and Adolescents: Experience From a Psychiatric Hospital Serving Rural Youth

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Risperidone is a commonly used antipsychotic for treating psychiatric illness in children and adolescents. There is a large variability in risperidone response and discontinuation rates remain high. Pharmacogenomics offers the opportunity to improve risperidone outcomes, yet studies in pediatric populations are limited.
