Energy homeostasis : crosstalk between adipose tissue and the human hypothalamus [PDF]

There is a worldwide epidemic of obesity. Weight rise is a consequence of continuous positive energy balance which leads to accumulation of body fat. Recent insights into adipose tissue (AT) biology have led to the conclusion that the adipocyte is not

Regulatory T cell proliferative potential as novel marker to investigate immune tolerance and clinical progression in Multiple Sclerosis

, 2011
In autoimmune disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) one of the determining alteration is the breakdown of self-antigen immune-tolerance. Peripheral immune tolerance is maintained, at least in part, by Regulatory T cells (Treg).

Expression of Tas1 taste receptors in mammalian spermatozoa [PDF]

, 2012
Background: During their transit through the female genital tract, sperm have to recognize and discriminate numerous chemical compounds. However, our current knowledge of the molecular identity of appropriate chemosensory receptor proteins in sperm is ...

Receptor-Mediated Transcytosis of Leptin through Human Intestinal Cells In Vitro

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2010
Gastric Leptin is absorbed by duodenal enterocytes and released on the basolateral side towards the bloodstream. We investigated in vitro some of the mechanisms of this transport.

The role of leptin as a biochemical marker in health and disease

, 2023
Leptin is a hormone primarily produced by adipose tissue (fat cells) and is critical in regulating energy balance and metabolism (Martinez-Sanchez 2020; Abella et al. 2017).

Changes in endotoxin levels in T2DM subjects on anti-diabetic therapies [PDF]

, 2009
Introduction Chronic low-grade inflammation is a significant factor in the development of obesity associated diabetes. This is supported by recent studies suggesting endotoxin, derived from gut flora, may be key to the development of inflammation by ...

Metabolic and serotonergic modulation of hypothalamic arcuate nucleus neurones in vitro [PDF]

1. The effects of glucose on the electrophysiological properties of rat hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) neurones were investigated. Neurones were recorded in 10 mM (hyperglycaemic) and 2 mM (euglycaemic) glucose-containing aCSF.

Presence of leptin receptors in rat small intestine and leptin effect on sugar absorption

, 1998
Leptin is involved in food intake and thermogenesis regulation. Since leptin receptor expression has been found in several tissues including small intestine, a possible role of leptin in sugar absorption by the intestine was investigated.
