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.

Erg currents support electrical bursting in murine anterior pituitary corticotrophs

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 12, Page 4834-4850, 15 June 2026.
Abstract figure legend Anterior pituitary corticotrophs are a central component of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis that controls the release of glucocorticoids from the adrenal gland in response to stress. The hypothalamic secretagogue corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) promotes electrical bursting of mouse anterior pituitary ...

Weaning stress induced alterations to the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐thyroid and ‐adrenal axes in swine

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 12, June 2026.
Abstract Combined modulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) and hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axes is known to play a critical role in maintaining physiological stability in response to stress. In this study, stress induced modulation of these axes was examined using 20 pigs/treatment either weaned (WN), weaned with feed/water ...

Central Dicer-miR-103/107 controls developmental switch of POMC progenitors into NPY neurons and impacts glucose homeostasis

eLife, 2018
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are major negative regulators of energy balance. A distinct developmental property of POMC neurons is that they can adopt an orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY) phenotype.

Expanding the genotypic spectrum of PCSK1 deficiency: A novel mutation in severe neonatal diarrhea

JPGN Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 242-246, May 2026.
Abstract Among congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) deficiency is a rare monogenic disorder, associated with severe neonatal diarrhea and polyendocrinopathies. We report an 18‐day‐old male neonate, born to consanguineous parents, presenting with persistent watery diarrhea, metabolic ...

Melanocortin 3 Receptors Do Not Specifically Localize to Primary Cilia in Cultured Human and Rodent Neurons

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The melanocortin‐3 receptor (MC3R) and the melanocortin‐4 receptor (MC4R), both expressed in hypothalamic nuclei, are key downstream effectors of leptin signaling and play important roles in energy homeostasis. While pathogenic variants in the MC4R gene represent the most common cause of monogenic obesity, the clinical significance of MC3R ...

Joint TOS/OMA/OAC Expert Guidance Statement on the Pharmacological Management of United States Adults With Overweight or Obesity Using the GRADE Approach

Obesity, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 851-870, April 2026.
Guidance recommendations by TOS/OMA/OAC for the use of obesity medications to treat obesity and its complications. ABSTRACT Background Obesity affects over 40% of US adults, with severe obesity on the rise. Despite recognition of obesity as a chronic disease, it remains underdiagnosed and undertreated.

Activation of Brainstem Pro-opiomelanocortin Neurons Produces Opioidergic Analgesia, Bradycardia and Bradypnoea.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Opioids are widely used medicinally as analgesics and abused for hedonic effects, actions that are each complicated by substantial risks such as cardiorespiratory depression.

Reelin is modulated by diet-induced obesity and has direct actions on arcuate proopiomelanocortin neurons

Molecular Metabolism, 2019
Objective: Reelin (RELN) is a large glycoprotein involved in synapse maturation and neuronal organization throughout development. Deficits in RELN signaling contribute to multiple psychological disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia ...
