Neuropeptide Y Family Receptors Traffic via the Bardet-Biedl Syndrome Pathway to Signal in Neuronal Primary Cilia

Cell Reports, 2013
Human monogenic obesity syndromes, including Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), implicate neuronal primary cilia in regulation of energy homeostasis. Cilia in hypothalamic neurons have been hypothesized to sense and regulate systemic energy status, but the ...

Oat Bran Supplementation Improves Glucose Metabolism, Food Addiction, and Gut Microbiota in Rats With High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Obesity

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oat bran (OB), a byproduct of the oat milling process, is a nutrient‐dense cereal cultivated in cool, dry mountainous regions and is known for its potential health benefits. To explore its obesity‐alleviating effects and the underlying mechanisms, we examined the influence of OB on glucose metabolism, appetite‐regulating hormones, gut ...

Synergistic Effects of Ginsenoside Rb3 and Rc From Panax notoginseng Leaf on Alleviating Neuroinflammation via PACAP in Depression

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
EPL relieves depressive‐like behaviors by upregulating hippocampal PACAP via Rb3/Rc synergy, showing dual modulation of synaptic plasticity and neuroinflammation. ABSTRACT Panax notoginseng Leaf (PNL), an edible‐medicinal botanical resource, shows potential as functional ingredients for alleviating depression, owing to their unique saponin composition.

Molecular mechanism of prolactin-releasing peptide recognition and signaling via its G protein-coupled receptor

Cell Discovery
Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) is an RF-amide neuropeptide that binds and activates its cognate G protein-coupled receptor, prolactin-releasing peptide receptor (PrRPR), also known as GPR10.

Smoking is Associated with Reduced Leptin and Neuropeptide Y Levels and Higher Pain Experience in Patients with Fibromyalgia

Mediators of Inflammation, 2014
Smoking deregulates neuroendocrine responses to pain supporting production of neuropeptide Y (NpY) by direct stimulation of nicotinic receptors or by inhibiting adipokine leptin.

Dopamine-inhibited POMCDrd2+ neurons in the ARC acutely regulate feeding and body temperature

JCI Insight, 2022
Dopamine acts on neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus, which controls homeostatic feeding responses. Here we demonstrate a differential enrichment of dopamine receptor 1 (Drd1) expression in food intake–promoting agouti related ...
