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

Age‐specific melanoma risk associated with nevi: a pooled analysis from the M‐SKIP project
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.

Pathophysiology of melanocortin receptors and their accessory proteins. [PDF]
The melanocortin receptors (MCRs) and their accessory proteins (MRAPs) are involved in regulation of a diverse range of endocrine pathways. Genetic variants of these components result in phenotypic variation and disease. The MC1R is expressed in skin and

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.

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.

Melanocortin receptor accessory proteins in adrenal disease and obesity. [PDF]
Melanocortin receptor accessory proteins (MRAPs) are regulators of the melanocortin receptor family. MRAP is an essential accessory factor for the functional expression of the MC2R/ACTH receptor.

Setmelanotide in Bardet‐Biedl Syndrome: A Case Report
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.

Genetic variation in the SIM1 locus is associated with erectile dysfunction. [PDF]
Erectile dysfunction affects millions of men worldwide. Twin studies support the role of genetic risk factors underlying erectile dysfunction, but no specific genetic variants have been identified. We conducted a large-scale genome-wide association study
