Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 3, March 2026.In this study, Laurent Gueissaz and his colleagues use cell‐resolved molecular profiling and in situ hybridization to characterize cellular underpinnings of augmentor α‐ALK signaling in the paraventricular nucleus of the mouse hypothalamus. They also show that acute stress affects the transcription of augmentor α but not ALK, which can have functional ...

Withdrawal of dietary phytoestrogens in adult male rats affects hypothalamic regulation of food intake, induces obesity and alters glucose metabolism [PDF]
, 2015 The absence of phytoestrogens in the diet during pregnancy has been reported to result in obesity later in adulthood. We investigated whether phytoestrogen withdrawal in adult life could alter the hypothalamic signals that regulate food intake and affect

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The melanocortin‐4 receptor (MC4R) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with an essential role in appetite suppression and energy homeostasis. Genetic mutations in the receptor and components of its signalling pathway that cause obesity in humans, dogs and rodent models have revealed important insights into how the receptor signals and what ...

Biochemical characterization of proopiomelanocortin variants in human and owls [PDF]
, 2015 In humans the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene is located on the short arm of the chromosome 2 at the 23.3 position and encodes a 39kDa peptide with 241 amino acids. This peptide is the precursor of the proopiomelanocortin prohormone and it is produced in

Female rat hippocampal cell density after conditioned place preference [PDF]
, 2014 The hippocampus is important for learning tasks, such as conditioned place preference (CPP), which is widely used as a model for studying the reinforcing effects of drugs with dependence liability.

Behavioral and pharmacological characterization of a mouse model of palatable diet alternation [PDF]
, 2017 Obesity and eating disorders represent a severe problem in Western societies. Both the increased availability of highly palatable foods and dieting are major risk factors contributing to the epidemic disorders of feeding. The purpose of this study was to

Recent advances in understanding Cushing disease: resistance to glucocorticoid negative feedback and somatic USP8 mutations [PDF]
, 2017 Cushing’s disease is a rare disease with a characteristic phenotype due to significant hypercortisolism driven by over-secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone and to high morbidity and mortality if untreated.
