From:Sports Medicine (Vol. 41, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedSome 12 years ago, a polymorphism of the angiotensin I-converting en zyme (ACE) gene became the first genetic element shown to impact substantially on human physical performance. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS)...

From:Nature Medicine (Vol. 8, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedMelanin concentrating hormone (MCH) is an orexigenic hypothalamic neuropeptide, which plays an important role in the complex regulation of energy balance and body weight. Here we show that SNAP-7941, a selective,...

From:Journal of Shellfish Research (Vol. 39, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT Advances in the optimization of abalone culture can be achieved through a deeper understanding of the molecules modulating physiological functions including growth, metabolism, and reproduction. To identify...

From:eLife (Vol. 10) Peer-ReviewedThe hypothalamic orexigenic Agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons are crucial for the regulation of whole-body energy homeostasis. Here, we show that fasting-induced AgRP neuronal activation is associated with...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 7, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedSubpopulations of somatosensory neurons are characterized by functional properties and expression of receptor proteins and surface markers. CGRP expression and IB4-binding are commonly used to define peptidergic and...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedNeuromedin U (NMU) activates two G protein-coupled receptors, NMUR1 and NMUR2; this signaling not only controls many physiological responses but also promotes tumorigenesis in diverse tissues. We recently identified a...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedWhile insulin signaling has been extensively studied in Caenorhabditis elegans in the context of ageing and stress response, less is known about the factors underlying the secretion of insulin ligands upstream of the...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 6, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground Early postnatal environments may have long-term and potentially irreversible consequences on hypothalamic neurons involved in energy homeostasis. Litter size is an important life history trait and...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 7, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedSingle-minded 1 (Sim1) is a transcription factor necessary for development of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH). This nucleus is a critical regulator of appetite, energy expenditure and body weight....
-
From:Journal of Amino AcidsPeer-ReviewedUrotensin-II was originally isolated from the goby urophysis in the 1960s as a vasoactive peptide with a prominent role in cardiovascular homeostasis. The identification of human isoform of urotensin- II and its specific...
-
From:The Neuroscientist (Vol. 13, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedOne of the catechisms of modern neuroscience is that neuro-transmitter release occurs, in large part, via vesicular exocytosis. However, whether this occurs via full fusion exocytosis, whereby the fusion pore between...

From:Nature (Vol. 470, Issue 7335) Peer-ReviewedWhy do some people develop post-traumatic stress disorder, but others emerge from a horrific event relatively unscathed? A molecule involved in orchestrating the brain's response to stress may hold the key to this...
-
From:Nature (Vol. 471, Issue 7339) Peer-ReviewedRare copy number variants (CNVs) have a prominent role in the aetiology of schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders (1). Substantial risk for schizophrenia is conferred by large (>500-kilobase) CNVs at several...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe SALMFamides are a family of neuropeptides that act as muscle relaxants in echinoderms. Two types of SALMFamides have been identified: L-type (e.g. the starfish neuropeptides S1 and S2) with the C-terminal motif...
-
From:Science (Vol. 268, Issue 5212) Peer-ReviewedResearch on the cloned Drosophila memory gene amnesiac is providing insights into the role of neuropeptides in memory storage. Amnesiac encodes a peptide that is similar to mammalian adenylyl cyclase activating peptide....
-
From:Neuroscience Bulletin (Vol. 32, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined by impairments of social interaction and the presence of obsessive behaviors. The "twin" nonapeptides oxytocin (OXT) and arginine-vasopressin (AVP) are known to play regulatory...

From:Molecular Brain (Vol. 4) Peer-ReviewedBackground Sleep homeostasis is characterized by a positive correlation between sleep length and intensity with the duration of the prior waking period. A causal role for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in...
