Upregulation of Kiss-1 and Gpr54 Genes Expression in Pituitary of Male Rats Following the Central Administration of Neuropeptide Y [PDF]
Introduction: The neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the neural circuits of the hypothalamus has a stimulating effect on reproductive activities in mammals. Kisspeptin (KiSS1) is a quintessential neurotransmitter in the reproductive axis which directly stimulates ...

Inhibition of Food Intake by PACAP in the Hypothalamic Ventromedial Nuclei is Mediated by NMDA Receptors [PDF]
Central injections of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) into the ventromedial nuclei (VMN) of the hypothalamus produce hypophagia that is dependent upon the PAC1 receptor; however, the signaling downstream of this receptor in the

Objective Autoimmunity occurs due to the tactics between pathogenic and regulatory factors in systemic organs. Although interorgan communication has been demonstrated in various diseases, the effects of the crosstalk between the immune system and other organs on autoimmune disease is unknown.

Physics of Protein Aggregation in Normal and Accelerated Brain Aging
Soluble monomeric proteins precipitate via nucleation into insoluble amyloids in response to age‐related exposures (e.g., microbes, nanoparticles). Persistent soluble‐to‐insoluble phase transition depletes the functional proteins. In normal aging, replacement matches loss; in accelerated aging, it does not.

Leptin Activates Anorexigenic POMC Neurons through a Neural Network in the Arcuate Nucleus [PDF]
The administration of leptin to leptin-deficient humans, and the analogous Lepob/Lepob mice, effectively reduces hyperphagia and obesity. But common obesity is associated with elevated leptin, which suggests that obese humans are resistant to this ...

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Intestinal Barrier Glycosylation for Gut Physiology and Pathology
ABSTRACT The intestinal barrier is a selective structure that safeguards the body from external threats while permitting nutrient absorption and immune surveillance. It consists of the outer mucus layer, the intermediate layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), and the inner layer of immune cells. The proteins in the mucus layer and within IECs are

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]
The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...
