Npy deletion in an alcohol non-preferring rat model elicits differential effects on alcohol consumption and body weight. [PDF]

, 2016
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is widely expressed in the central nervous system and influences many physiological processes. It is located within the rat quantitative trait locus (QTL) for alcohol preference on chromosome 4.

Genetic Legacy of the Last Ice Age Shapes Shallow Phylogeographic Structure in a Widespread Mediterranean Snake

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Mediterranean peninsulas typically harbour high intraspecific genetic diversity associated with long‐term persistence in multiple glacial refugia. However, some widespread taxa show unexpectedly shallow phylogeographic structure. Here, we investigate which historical processes can generate a pattern of strong genetic depletion within a ...

Noradrenergic inhibition of definitive POMC neurons through direct and indirect mechanisms

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Norepinephrine and the α2‐adrenoceptor agonist UK 14,304 robustly inhibit definitive arcuate POMC neurons. Direct inhibition is mediated by ADRA2A‐dependent activation of potassium conductances, while additional indirect mechanisms also contribute. In vivo, inducible POMC‐specific Adra2a deletion minimally affects energy balance and modestly impairs ...

Retinal ganglion cell degeneration in glaucoma disrupts HPA axis temporal organization and dampens corticosterone production

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy characterized by progressive vision loss. A previous study from our group showed that glaucoma‐induced retinal degeneration disrupts photic signaling to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), altering the molecular components of the central circadian clock.

Skin‐Lightening Efficacy of Leatherleaf Fern Extract and a Leatherleaf Fern‐Based Facial Serum In Vitro and Clinical Trial

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hyperpigmentation, caused by excessive melanin accumulation, is a significant cosmetic concern in dermatology. Natural compounds are receiving attention as safe and effective skin‐lightening agents due to their antioxidant properties and ability to inhibit melanin synthesis.
