Enteric Nervous System Damage by Food Contaminants: A Pathway to Neurodegeneration?

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS), a key component of the gut–brain axis, has emerged as a critical player in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is the first neural system exposed to food contaminants (FCs)—a diverse group of ubiquitous toxic compounds fortuitously present in food derived from production, processing, storage, or ...

Genetic variation in the SIM1 locus is associated with erectile dysfunction. [PDF]

, 2018
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

Folding, misfolding, and regulation of intracellular traffic of G protein‐coupled receptors involved in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 978-991, May 2026.
Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

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

HIV Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 727-739, May 2026.
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.

Global consensus on the management of melanin hyperpigmentation disorders

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 760-772, May 2026.
A global Delphi consensus of 10 dermatology experts established evidence‐based recommendations for melanin hyperpigmentation disorders, providing unified classification, photoprotection guidance and treatment algorithms. This framework harmonizes terminology and supports individualized management across diverse skin types and health systems.

Adrenalectomy alters the sensitivity of the central nervous system melanocortin system [PDF]

, 2003
Removal of adrenal steroids by adrenalectomy (ADX) reduces food intake and body weight in rodents and prevents excessive weight gain in many genetic and dietary models of obesity. Thus, glucocorticoids appear to play a key role to promote positive energy

Palmitate‐induced impairment of melanocortin‐4 receptor

The FASEB Journal, 2013
Obese patients, and diet induced obese rodents, exhibit elevated palmitate in the blood stream and hypothalamus. Elevated palmitate has been found to attenuate hypothalamic insulin signaling, and this effect is thought to be mediated through endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Pro-Opiomelanocortin and Melanocortin Receptor 3 and 4 Mutations in Genetic Obesity

Biomolecules
Genetic obesity results from loss-of-function mutations, including those affecting the leptin–melanocortin system, which regulates body weight. Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived neurohormones act as ligands for melanocortin receptors (MCRs), regulating
