Optical tools for visualizing and controlling human GLP-1 receptor activation with high spatiotemporal resolution

open access: yeseLife, 2023
The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) is a broadly expressed target of peptide hormones with essential roles in energy and glucose homeostasis, as well as of the blockbuster weight-loss drugs semaglutide and liraglutide. Despite its large clinical

Allatostatin-A neurons inhibit feeding behavior in adult Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
How the brain translates changes in internal metabolic state or perceived food quality into alterations in feeding behavior remains poorly understood.

CST, an Herbal Formula, Exerts Anti-Obesity Effects through Brain-Gut-Adipose Tissue Axis Modulation in High-Fat Diet Fed Mice

open access: yesMolecules, 2016
The brain, gut, and adipose tissue interact to control metabolic pathways, and impairment in the brain-gut-adipose axis can lead to metabolic disorders, including obesity.

Hypocretins, sleep, and maternal behavior

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
The postpartum period is a demanding time during which mothers experience numerous physiological adaptations that enable them to care for their offspring while maintaining their wellbeing. Hypocretins, also known as orexins, are neuropeptides synthesized

Evolution of neuropeptide signalling systems

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2018
Neuropeptides are a diverse class of neuronal signalling molecules that regulate physiological processes and behaviour in animals. However, determining the relationships and evolutionary origins of the heterogeneous assemblage of neuropeptides identified

Evolution of Structural and Functional Diversity of Spexin in Mammalian and Non-mammalian Vertebrate Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Spexin (SPX) is a novel neuropeptide, which was first identified in the human genome using bioinformatics. Since then, orthologs of human SPX have been identified in mammalian and non-mammalian vertebrates.

Neurosecretory protein GL stimulates food intake, de novo lipogenesis, and onset of obesity

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Mechanisms underlying the central regulation of food intake and fat accumulation are not fully understood. We found that neurosecretory protein GL (NPGL), a newly-identified neuropeptide, increased food intake and white adipose tissue (WAT) in rats. NPGL-

Regulation of Feeding and Metabolism by Neuropeptide F and Short Neuropeptide F in Invertebrates

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Numerous neuropeptide systems have been implicated to coordinately control energy homeostasis, both centrally and peripherally. However, the vertebrate neuropeptide Y (NPY) system has emerged as the best described one regarding this biological process ...
