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

Sirt6 in pro-opiomelanocortin neurons controls energy metabolism by modulating leptin signaling
Objective: Sirt6 is an essential regulator of energy metabolism in multiple peripheral tissues. However, the direct role of Sirt6 in the hypothalamus, specifically pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, controlling energy balance has not been established ...

Detection of chromosome aberrations in the human interphase nucleus by visualization of specific target DNAs with radioactive and non-radioactive in situ hybridization techniques: diagnosis of trisomy 18 with probe L1.84 [PDF]
The localization of chromosome 18 in human interphase nuclei is demonstrated by use of radioactive and nonradioactive in situ hybridization techniques with a DNA clone designated L1.84.

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 ...

Estradiol Protects Proopiomelanocortin Neurons Against Insulin Resistance [PDF]
Insulin resistance is at the core of the metabolic syndrome, and men exhibit a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome than women in early adult life, but this sex advantage diminishes sharply when women reach the postmenopausal state. Because 17β-estradiol (E2) augments the excitability of the anorexigenic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, we ...

Neuroendocrine Regulation of Metabolism [PDF]
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

Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Hormone receptor regulated proopiomelanocortin gene expression
The activity of the POMC gene is regulated by both stimulatory and inhibitory hormones. Presumably, some balance exists in the influence of these hormones in order to maintain a steady-state level of activity of this gene. Physiological insults, such as stress, may upset this balance and change the rate of production of POMC and its biologically active
