The Role of Proopiomelanocortin and α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone in the Metabolic Syndrome in Psychiatric Disorders: A Narrative Mini-Review

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2019
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) comprises abdominal obesity, preclinical or full diabetes type 2, arterial hypertension, and dyslipidemia and affects a significant proportion of the general population with a remarkably higher prevalence in patients ...

Welfare and Physiological Consequences of Non‐Lethal Blood Sampling From the Caudal Vasculature of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate welfare and health effects following single and repeated non‐lethal blood sampling from the caudal vasculature of Atlantic salmon. Two experiments were conducted at three different temperatures: a 6‐week freshwater experiment with fish weighing 50–100 g, undergoing up to four blood withdrawals, and a

Stem Cells From Dental Pulp, Periodontal Tissues, and Other Oral Sources: Biological Concepts and Regenerative Potential

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A graphical abstract recapping the different sources of dental, periodontal, and other oral‐derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and their regenerative mechanisms and potentials. The review's article findings bridge fundamental biological science with translational advances, highlighting the significance of MSCs in craniofacial regenerative ...

Re-evaluation of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone and Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone Activation of GPR139 in Vitro

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
It is now well established that GPR139, a G-protein coupled receptor exclusively expressed in the brain and pituitary, is activated by the essential amino acids L-tryptophan (L-Trp) and L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) via Gαq-coupling.

Multidisciplinary Therapy to Target Obesity and Its Complications in Adult Population: A Narrative Review

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity as a chronic and multifactorial disease requires a multidisciplinary team acting together in a holistic multitarget intervention. Multidisciplinary therapy targeting obesity and its complications includes physical exercise, nutritional, and behavior counseling.

Impact of long‐term maternal high‐fat, high‐sugar feeding on gastric vagal afferent responses and feeding behaviour in mouse offspring

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor maternal nutrition and excessive gestational weight gain predict future development of obesity in offspring. Preclinically, maternal obesity induced by a high‐fat, high‐sugar diet (HFHSD) induces hyperphagia and obesity in offspring. We hypothesized that this might, in part, reflect reduced peripheral gastric vagal afferent (GVA) satiety ...

Recent Advancements in the Characterization of D‐Amino Acid and Isoaspartate Post‐Translational Modifications

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 218-230, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the great triumphs of mass spectrometry‐based peptide and protein characterization is the characterization of their modifications as most modifications have a characteristic mass shift. What happens when the modification does not change the mass of the peptide?

Pinopsin Regulates Melatonin Production and Daily Locomotor Activity: Functional Insights From Gene‐Edited Xenopus Tadpoles

Journal of Pineal Research, Volume 78, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythm alignment depends on environmental light detection via opsins. Pinopsin, originally identified in the pineal organ of birds and later in amphibian pineal complex and eyes, may play a role in this process, though its function has not been genetically tested.
