Melanocyte-stimulating hormone—mimetic action of the phenothiazines
AbstractWe have compared the melanophore-stimulating action of four phenothiazines, trifluoperazine, perphenazine, chlorpromazine, and prochlorperazine, with α-MSH on the skin of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, using a new rate method of bioassay. The dose-response curves for the phenothiazines were parallel to that of α-MSH, and when given together α ...

Mechanisms of alleviating resistance to PD‐1/PD‐L1 blockade by IFN‐α and IFN‐β. In these mechanisms, the “yin‐yang balance” is disrupted, thus preventing T cells from attacking cancer cells. Restoring this balance may improve the efficacy of anti‐PD‐1/PD‐L1 therapy and reinvigorate T cells and other immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells ...

Estrogen synthesized in the central nervous system enhances MC4R expression and reduces food intake
Estrogen is regulated by the rate‐limiting enzyme aromatase. This study examines how neuroestrogens, estrogen produced in the brain, regulate appetite through the hypothalamus. Using ovariectomized, aromatase knockout, and brain‐specific aromatase‐restored mice, the study found that neuroestrogens suppress appetite by influencing genes like Mc4r.
