Food and the brain: Neural and endocrine control of feeding, metabolism, and reproduction

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Feeding and reproductive function are regulated by intricate systems that monitor food availability and energy stores, and on the basis of energy status, promote or put a brake on reproduction. This is particularly evident in the systems that regulate feeding and reproductive state in female mammals.

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

Epidemiology of acquired hypothalamic obesity following traumatic brain injury and nonspecific hypothalamic microinjury: A nationwide German claims data analysis

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Acquired hypothalamic obesity (aHO) is characterized by rapid and persistent weight gain resulting from structural or functional damage to the hypothalamus, typically accompanied by neuroendocrine dysfunction. While aHO is well described in the context of hypothalamic or suprasellar tumors, particularly craniopharyngioma, little is known about

Effect of NDP-a-MSH on PPAR-c and –b Expression and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokine Release in Rat Astrocytes and Microglia [PDF]

, 2013
Brain inflammation plays a central role in numerous brain pathologies. Microglia and astrocytes are the main effector cells that become activated when an inflammatory process takes place within the central nervous system. a-melanocytestimulating hormone (

KNDy neurons as an indirect target of insulin‐like growth factor‐1

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) that coexpress kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin (KNDy neurons) are considered the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator necessary for fertility. KNDy neurons are also metabolic sensors controlling the hypothalamic–pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) axis.

Taking Two to Tango: A Role for Ghrelin Receptor Heterodimerization in Stress and Reward

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
The gut hormone, ghrelin, is the only known peripherally derived orexigenic signal. It activates its centrally expressed receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a), to stimulate food intake.

Targeting Melasma: Innovations in Pigment Deposition and Photoaging in Cosmetic Dermatology

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Melasma is a chronic, relapsing hyperpigmentation disorder driven by complex interactions among genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, UV exposure, oxidative stress, inflammation, and photoaging. Its psychosocial impact is substantial, especially among women with darker skin types, and treatment remains challenging due to ...
