Overexpression of the short isoform of the dopamine D2 receptor causes diet‐induced obesity and hyperglycemia in mice

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Alterations in the expression levels of D2S and D2L resulted in obesity and metabolic syndrome such as abdominal fat accumulation and hyperglycemia in D2L KO mice fed with a high‐fat diet, compared to WT mice. This may be partly due to increased food intake.

Litter sex composition influences plasma prolactin levels but not the melanin‐concentrating hormone immunoreactive neurons in the medial preoptic area of late lactating Long‐Evans rats

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Influence of litter sex composition on maternal prolactin levels and MCH‐immunoreactive (MCH‐ir) neurons in the vmMPOA of lactating rats. The sex ratio of litters affects maternal physiology, specifically increasing prolactin levels and altering weight gain patterns, while food and water intake and MCH‐ir neuron counts remain unchanged.

Anorectic and anxiogenic actions of cocaine‐ and amphetamine‐regulated transcript in the lateral septum

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cocaine‐ and amphetamine‐regulated transcript (CART) is produced in several brain regions including the hypothalamus where it is made in cells that also produce melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH). CART‐expressing MCH cells densely innervate the lateral septum (LS), which integrates food‐ and mood‐related behaviours.

Disrupted circadian rhythms and opioid‐mediated adverse effects: Bidirectional relationship and putative mechanisms

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent studies have shown a link between disrupted circadian rhythms and the development of chronic opioid‐induced negative effects. Both animal and human studies show a significant bidirectional relationship between the circadian system and opioid effects.

Stress alters hypothalamic gene expression in adolescent male Golden hamsters

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract In Golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus), a two‐week exposure to chronic social stress in adolescence causes acceleration of agonistic behavior, enhanced adult aggression, impaired waiting impulsivity, and higher food intake, body fat, and long‐term increased body weight.
