Kisspeptin Activation of Supraoptic Nucleus Neurons in Vivo [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2011 Oxytocin and vasopressin are synthesized by magnocellular neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei and are released from the posterior pituitary gland into the circulation. Intravenous administration of the ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor 54 receptor, kisspeptin-10, increases plasma oxytocin levels and ...

Central mechanisms mediating the hypophagic effects of oleoylethanolamide and N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines: different lipid signals? [PDF]
, 2015 The spread of "obesity epidemic" and the poor efficacy of many anti-obesity therapies in the long-term highlight the need to develop novel efficacious therapy. This necessity stimulates a large research effort to find novel mechanisms controlling feeding

Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion Associated with Pramipexole in a Patient with Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Journal of Movement Disorders, 2011 The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) can be caused by a variety of drugs. Dopaminergic drugs might enhance the secretion of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin by reducing γ-amino butyric acid release through the

Nesfatin-1, a unique regulatory neuropeptide of the brain [PDF]
, 2012 Nesfatin-1, a newly discovered NUCB2-derived satiety neuropeptide is expressed in several neurons of forebrain, hindbrain, brainstem and spinal cord. This novel anorexigenic substance seems to play an important role in hypothalamic pathways regulating ...

Oxytocin signaling in the posterior hypothalamus prevents hyperphagic obesity in mice
eLife, 2022 Decades of studies have revealed molecular and neural circuit bases for body weight homeostasis. Neural hormone oxytocin (Oxt) has received attention in this context because it is produced by neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), a ...

Characteristics of GABAergic and cholinergic neurons in perinuclear zone of mouse supraoptic nucleus. [PDF]
J Neurophysiol, 2015 The perinuclear zone (PNZ) of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) contains some GABAergic and cholinergic neurons thought to innervate the SON proper. In mice expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) in association with glutamate decarboxylase (GAD ...

Regional brain c-fos activation associated with penile erection and other symptoms induced by the spider toxin Tx2-6 [PDF]
, 2011 Brain areas expressing c-fos messenger RNA were mapped by quantitative in situ hybridization after 1-2 h of intoxication with 10 mu g/kg Tx2-6, a toxin obtained from the venom of the spider Phoneutria nigriventer.

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.
