The last‐step integrator thesis: Heterarchical control of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 20, Page 8323-8344, 15 October 2026.
Abstract figure legend Heterarchy of control of the gastrointestinal tract. The production mechanisms (i.e. epithelial cells and muscles) are shown at the bottom in green. Above them are some of the many mechanisms that provide control inputs to these production mechanisms.

Immunocytochemical localization of pro-opiomelanocortin-derived peptides in the adult rat spinal cord [PDF]

, 1986
A dispersed descending pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) fiber system has been demonstrated by peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) immunocytochemistry in the adult rat spinal cord.

Electro-Acupuncture Alleviates Cisplatin-Induced Anorexia in Rats by Modulating Ghrelin and Monoamine Neurotransmitters

Biomolecules, 2019
Anorexia is common in patients with cancer, mostly as a side effect of chemotherapy. The effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) on ameliorating cancer-related symptoms have been studied in animal models and in clinical trials.

Combination Pharmacotherapies for Obesity—Current Evidence and Future Directions

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Combination pharmacotherapy for obesity can enhance weight loss by targeting complementary neuroendocrine and metabolic pathways. Such benefits are largely additive but limited by tolerability, cost and access. This review outlines practical clinical archetypes and a research agenda for safer, more precise and durable combination strategies across ...

The Regulation of Leptin, Leptin Receptor and Pro-opiomelanocortin Expression by N-3 PUFAs in Diet-Induced Obese Mice Is Not Related to the Methylation of Their Promoters

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2011
Background The expression of leptin is increased in obesity and inhibited by n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), but the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been firmly established.

Evaluation of Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) levels in bipolar and unipolar patients

BMC Psychiatry
Objective Evidence suggests that stressful life experiences contribute significantly to the aetiology of mood disorders. Hypothalamic neuropeptides are thought to be biomarkers used to differentiate patients with mood disorders. In our study, we aimed to

Stimulation of the Hippocampal POMC/MC4R Circuit Alleviates Synaptic Plasticity Impairment in an Alzheimer’s Disease Model

Cell Reports, 2016
Hippocampal synaptic plasticity is modulated by neuropeptides, the disruption of which might contribute to cognitive deficits observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

THE EFFECT OF CORTICOTROPIN-RELEASING FACTOR AND PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN-DERIVED PEPTIDES ON THE PHAGOCYTOSIS OF MOLLUSCAN HEMOCYTES

, 1994
The effect of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides on hemocyte phagocytosis in two molluscs, Planorbarius corneus and Viviparus ater was studied. The peptides and related fragments examined are those which

Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) expression and immunolocalization of POMC-related peptides in the ovary of Protopterus annectens, an African lungfish

, 1997
Antisera against adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha MSH) and beta-endorphin were used to localize pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides in the ovary of the African lungfish Protopterus annectens by ...

Regulation of BAT thermogenesis via TRPA1-expressing hypothalamic POMC neurons

Animal Cells and Systems
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) play a pivotal role in regulating brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis via the sympathetic nervous system.
