The Melanocortin System in Control of Inflammation

The Scientific World Journal, 2010
Melanocortin peptides, the collective term for α-, β-, and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-, β-, γ-MSH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), are elements of an ancient modulatory system.

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.

The gatekeepers of growth: The neural roles and regulation of growth hormone‐releasing hormone neurons

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The neuroendocrine control of growth is mediated by the hypothalamic–pituitary–somatic (HPS) axis. This involves the hypothalamic release of growth hormone‐releasing hormone (GHRH), which stimulates the pituitary secretion of growth hormone (GH).

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.

Round Table Discussion: Aesthetic Treatment Considerations for the Perimenopausal & Menopausal Patient

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Menopause is a normal feature of the female aging process that commonly occurs during the 6th decade of life. During perimenopause, many negative effects begin to occur affecting the skin that are associated with decreasing production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
