The role of agomelatine in appetite regulation and body weight in rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The hypothalamic nuclei play a central role in the synthesis of anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides, which are regulated by peripheral hormones, like leptin and ghrelin. Melatonergic receptors (MT1/MT2) are prominently expressed in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus – an essential hub for appetite control – and in peripheral ...

Electrophysiological Effects of Ghrelin in the Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus Neurons

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is involved in the control of sympathetic tone and the secretion of hormones, both functions known to be influenced by ghrelin, suggesting direct effect of ghrelin in this nucleus.

Acute metabolic responses to high‐intensity interval training in men with overweight or obesity: Does the exercise modality matter?

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the acute effects of two isoenergetic high‐intensity interval exercise (HIIE) sessions, running (HIIE‐RUN) and cycling (HIIE‐BIKE), on post‐exercise oxygen consumption (V̇O2${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$), carbon dioxide production (V̇CO2${\dot V_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$), substrate oxidation and 24‐h energy ...

Ghrelin protects against cell death in myocardial ischaemia: Emerging role of microRNA

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute myocardial infarction (MI) accelerates cardiomyocyte apoptosis, which underpins ventricular remodelling and dysfunction. The hormone ghrelin mitigates this remodelling, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Specific microRNAs (miRs) are key modulators and reliable biomarkers of early‐stage apoptosis.

An immunohistochemical study of the localization and developmental expression of ghrelin and its functional receptor in the ovine placenta

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2007
Background Ghrelin is an orexigenic hormone principally produced by the stomach, but also by numerous peripheral tissues including the placenta. Ghrelin acts via growth hormone secretagogue receptors (GHSR-1a) to alter food intake, fat utilization, and ...

Lifestyle implications of the paradox and management of oxidative stress in sperm

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Lifestyle factors influencing male fertility. Schematic overview of lifestyle factors with beneficial (left) and detrimental (right) effects on male fertility. A balanced diet, regular moderate physical activity and stress management strategies support sperm function and redox homeostasis.

Reduced cardiovascular mortality at moderate altitude: a putative role of physical activity and body mass

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Benefits of performing physical exercise at moderate altitude. At moderate altitude, increased resting metabolic rate and physical exertion promote physical fitness and exercise tolerance, whereas hypoxia suppresses appetite and elicits adaptations that increase tissue O2 delivery while augmenting O2‐independent ATP production ...

Effects of CP 55,940 — agonist of CB1 cannabinoid receptors on ghrelin and somatostatin producing cells in the rat pancreas

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2012
Cannabinoids participate in the modulation of numerous functions in the human organism, increasing the sense of hunger, affecting carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and controlling systemic energy balance mechanisms.
