DNA methylation, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and senescence interact to form a vicious cycle. Here we report that oxytocin interrupts this vicious cycle by increasing TET2 expression, inducing DNA demethylation in aged neurons and raising plasma oxytocin levels, decreasing systemic inflammation.

Cortistain is expressed in a distinct subset of cortical interneurons [PDF]
Cortistatin is a presumptive neuropeptide that shares 11 of its 14 amino acids with somatostatin. In contrast to somatostatin, administration of cortistatin into the rat brain ventricles specifically enhances slow wave sleep, apparently by antagonizing ...

Abstract Background Hypogonadism and infertility are two conditions that are heavily affected by overweight and obesity in the male patient. Glucagon‐like peptide 1 agonists (GLP‐1RAs) are a recently introduced class of antidiabetic drugs with powerful weight‐loss effect; this may induce an indirect positive effect on the testicular function ...

Diet transition to a high-fat diet for 3 weeks reduces brain omega-3-fatty acid levels, alters BDNF signaling and induces anxiety & depression-like behavior in adult rats [PDF]
Background: The consumption of diets high in calories and low in nutrient value is becoming increasingly common in modern society, which can lead to metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity, and potentially to psychiatric disorders.

Abstract Background and Purpose Emerging literature indicates that simultaneously targeting glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptors (GLP‐1Rs) and neuropeptide Y receptors (Y1/Y2) may represent a new pharmacotherapeutic approach to treating opioid use disorder (OUD).
