Toward a pharmacology of odor receptors and the processing of odor images
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1991 Odor molecules may be considered as molecular ligands which bind to receptors in the olfactory sensory neurons to give rise to the sensory response. Binding studies in whole sensory epithelia suggest that the receptors also bind muscarinic cholinergic antagonists.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Aedes aegypti females were significantly repelled by both volatile DEET and citronella oil in comparison to control (ethanol‐exposed) mosquitoes. Global gene expression changes were largest in the mosquito mouthparts, with notable downregulation of the three subunits comprising the mosquito CO2 receptor (Gr1, 2 and 3).

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...

Gene Switching and the Stability of Odorant Receptor Gene Choice
, 2004 Individual olfactory sensory neurons express only a single odorant receptor from a large family of genes, and this singularity is an essential feature in models of olfactory perception.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Lungfish possess a lamellar OE and a primitive VNO called as a recess epithelium (RecE). Among the lungfish V2Rs expressed in both the lamellar OE and the RecE in small individuals, some became restricted to the RecE in large individuals. These results suggest functional separation between the lamellar OE and the RecE is still incomplete in juveniles ...

Identification of candidate odorant receptors in Asian corn borer Ostrinia furnacalis.
PLoS ONE, 2015 In lepidopteran insects, odorant receptors are involved in the perception of sex pheromones and general odorants. In the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, although several pheromone receptors have been identified, no general odorant receptor has ...

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Weight Loss: A Critical Review of Mechanisms
Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT GLP‐1 receptor agonist medications have the potential to promote marked weight loss, but maximal and sustained benefit may be compromised by poor compliance and cessation of use. Development of next‐generation medications that address current obstacles to effective use and development of effective adjunct treatments will benefit from better ...
