Proopiomelanocortin Neurons in Nucleus Tractus Solitarius Are Activated by Visceral Afferents: Regulation by Cholecystokinin and Opioids

open access: yes, 2005
The nucleustractus solitarius (NTS) receives dense terminations from cranial visceral afferents, including those from the gastrointestinal (GI) system.

Role of PTP1B in POMC neurons during chronic high fat diet: Sex differences in regulation of liver lipids and glucose tolerance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a negative regulator of leptin receptor signalling and may contribute to leptin resistance in diet-induced obesity.

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

Neuroendocrine Regulation of Metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Given the current environment in most developed countries, it is a challenge to maintain a good balance between calories consumed and calories burned, although maintenance of metabolic balance is key to good health. Therefore, understanding how metabolic

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Role of SOCS3 in POMC neurons in metabolic and cardiovascular regulation [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2019
Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) is a negative regulator of leptin signaling. We previously showed that the chronic effects of leptin on blood pressure (BP) and glucose regulation are mediated by stimulation of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons.

Chronic attenuation of brain leptin signalling is associated with early metabolic dysfunction in lean rats

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Central leptin signalling blockade induces early metabolic dysfunction. Intracerebroventricular infusion of a leptin receptor antagonist (SLA) in rats disrupts hypothalamic leptin signalling, leading to reduced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation, decreased Socs3 and Pomc expression, and ...

Unveiling the transcriptome alteration of POMC neuron in diet-induced obesity [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Cell Research, 2019
Abstract Background: Loss of neuron homeostasis in the Arcuate nucleus (ARC) is suggested to be responsible for the development diet-induced-obesity (DIO). We previously reported that loss of Rb1 gene compromised the homeostasis of anorexigenic POMC neurons in ARC and induced obesity in mice.Method: To shed light on how DIO develops, we propose

Increased body weight in mice with fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (Fmr1) gene mutation is associated with hypothalamic dysfunction

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Mutations in the Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene are linked to Fragile X Syndrome, the most common monogenic cause of intellectual disability and autism. People affected with mutations in FMR1 have higher incidence of obesity, but the

Genomic and epigenomic mapping of leptin-responsive neuronal populations involved in body weight regulation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) in obesity have identified a large number of noncoding loci located near genes expressed in the central nervous system.
