Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children often arises from defects in the leptin–melanocortin pathway. Understanding these rare genetic causes not only clarifies mechanisms of appetite regulation but also enables precision therapies, offering hope beyond lifestyle interventions.

Melanocortins and feeding behavior
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2000 The melanocortin (ACTH/MSH) peptides exert a number of central effects. In the eighties, we described for the first time a role for melanocortins in the central control of appetite. We showed that the injection of ACTH-(1-24) into a brain lateral ventricle reduced food intake up to 76.6% in starved rats.

Melanocortin Pathways: Suppressed and Stimulated Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R)
Physiological Research, 2020 Leptin-melanocortin pathway plays an essential role in the body weight regulation. Enhanced melanocortin signaling in the hypothalamus results in both decreased food intake and increased energy expenditure. The discovery of monogenic obesities with dysfunction of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) greatly contributed to understanding of energy balance ...

Fine‐scale spatial variation in eastern grey squirrel melanism across a complex urban landscape
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.By sampling 197 parks, the study demonstrates how natural geography creates divergence within cities. The findings reveal that the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries act as barriers, disrupting urban melanism clines in grey squirrels. Ultimately, the research indicates that natural features still dictate evolutionary rules in anthropogenic ...

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Age‐specific melanoma risk associated with nevi: a pooled analysis from the M‐SKIP project
JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.Summary Objective This study investigates the association of melanoma risk with total‐body nevus count and the presence of atypical nevi in younger (< 40 years) and older (> 60 years) individuals. Methods A pooled analysis was conducted within the M‐SKIP project, based on multiple melanoma case‐control studies.

POMC neurons control fertility through differential signaling of MC4R in kisspeptin neurons
eLifeInactivating mutations in the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) gene cause monogenic obesity. Interestingly, female patients also display various degrees of reproductive disorders, in line with the subfertile phenotype of Mc4r KO female mice.

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) have transformed the pharmacological management of obesity, producing substantial and sustained weight loss during active treatment. However, discontinuation of therapy is frequently followed by significant weight regain, raising important questions regarding the durability of treatment ...
