Hydroxy-α-Sanshools From <i>Zanthoxylum bungeanum</i> Maxim. Alleviate Obesity in Mice via the Regulation of Appetite and Gut Microbiota. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Hydroxy‐alpha‐sanshool could modulate the expression of appetite‐related factors and the composition of intestinal microbiota in mice fed with a high‐fat diet by regulating food intake and maintaining energy homeostasis, which is consistent with the involvement of the gut‐brain axis in this regulatory mechanism.

Relative number and distribution of murine hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin neurons innervating distinct target sites. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons send projections widely throughout the brain consistent with their role in regulating numerous homeostatic processes and mediating analgesia and reward.

Gabra5 plays a sexually dimorphic role in POMC neuron activity and glucose balance

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are important for the regulation of body weight and glucose balance. The inhibitory tone to POMC neurons is mediated primarily by the GABA receptors. However, the detailed mechanisms and functions of GABA receptors are

Developmental single-cell transcriptomics of hypothalamic POMC neurons reveal the genetic trajectories of multiple neuropeptidergic phenotypes

eLife, 2022
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus are essential to regulate food intake and energy balance. However, the ontogenetic transcriptional programs that specify the identity and functioning of these neurons are poorly ...

Efgartigimod Versus Lymphoplasmapheresis as Preoperative Rapid Antibody-Clearing Therapies for Thymectomy in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis: Effectiveness, Safety and Cost Outcomes Compared to Conventional Preparation. [PDF]

CNS Neurosci Ther
In this exploratory study, no statistically significant differences in effectiveness, safety, or cost were observed between EFG and LPE, nor between RACT and oral immunosuppressants for pre‐thymectomy preparation in MG. These findings are hypothesis‐generating and warrant prospective validation.

AMPK is essential for energy homeostasis regulation and glucose sensing by POMC and AgRP neurons [PDF]

, 2007
Hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been suggested to act as a key sensing mechanism, responding to hormones and nutrients in the regulation of energy homeostasis.

Sex-Determining Region Y Controls the Effects of Fetal Alcohol Exposure on Proopiomelanocortin Gene Expression

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Fetal alcohol exposure (FAE) causes various neurodevelopmental deficits in offspring, including reduced expression of the stress regulatory proopiomelanocortin (Pomc) gene and an elevated stress response for multiple generations via the male germline ...

Melanocortins and agouti-related protein modulate the excitability of two arcuate nucleus neuron populations by alteration of resting potassium conductances [PDF]

, 2007
The hypothalamic melanocortin system is crucial for the control of appetite and body weight. Two of the five melanocortin receptors, MC3R and MC4R are involved in hypothalamic control of energy homeostasis, with the MC4R having the major influence. It is

Hypothalamic Proopiomelanocortin Is Necessary for Normal Glucose Homeostasis in Female Mice

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus is a key regulator of energy balance and glucose homeostasis. In particular, arcuate proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons inhibit food intake, stimulate energy expenditure and increase glucose tolerance.

The transcriptional regulator PRDM12 is critical for Pomc expression in the mouse hypothalamus and controlling food intake, adiposity, and body weight

Molecular Metabolism, 2020
Objective: Regulation of food intake and energy balance depends on a group of hypothalamic neurons that release anorexigenic melanocortins encoded by the Pomc gene.
