Hypoxia inducible factor-dependent upregulation of Agrp in glomus type I cells of the carotid body

Molecular Metabolism
Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) is a well-established potent orexigenic peptide primarily expressed in hypothalamic neurons. Nevertheless, the expression and functional significance of extrahypothalamic AgRP remain poorly understood.

Multiple sclerosis, relapses, and the mechanism of action of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013
Relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS) are disruptive and frequently disabling for patients, and their treatment is often a challenge to clinicians. Despite progress in the understanding of the pathophysiology of MS and development of new treatments for ...

Local Agouti Signaling Protein/Melanocortin Signaling System that Possibly Regulates Lipid Metabolism in Adipose Tissues of Chickens

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2010
The agouti signaling protein (ASIP)/melanocortin signaling system regulates lipid metabolism in humans but not in mice. To examine whether the system is present in adipose tissues in chickens, we performed reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
