Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding response to central orexins.
Donald C. Sweet,Allen S. Levine,Allen S. Levine,Charles J. Billington,Charles J. Billington,Catherine M. Kotz,Catherine M. Kotz +6 more
TL;DR: Orexin A and orexin B were microinjected into the perifornical hypothalamus, lateral hypothalamus (LH), hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), and ventral tegmental area (VTA) of male Sprague-Dawley rats to stimulate feeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
WNT5A mutations in patients with autosomal dominant Robinow syndrome.
Anthony D. Person,Soraya Beiraghi,Christine M. Sieben,Spencer Hermanson,Ann N. Neumann,Mara E. Robu,J. Robert Schleiffarth,Charles J. Billington,Hans van Bokhoven,Jeannette A.M. Hoogeboom,Juliana F. Mazzeu,Anna Petryk,Lisa A. Schimmenti,Han G. Brunner,Stephen C. Ekker,Jamie L. Lohr +15 more
TL;DR: It is shown that two different missense mutations in WNT5A, which result in amino acid substitutions of highly conserved cysteines, are associated with autosomal dominant Robinow syndrome, and that proper formation and growth of these structures is sensitive to variations in W NT5A function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opioids and food intake: distributed functional neural pathways?
TL;DR: Data is presented which support functional diversity of opioids in feeding behavior and suggests that opioids in the hindbrain might be involved in both sensory and metabolic aspects of food intake, those in the amygdala in processing of 'emotional' properties of foods, and those inThe hypothalamus in energy needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding effects of hypothalamic injection of melanocortin 4 receptor ligands.
Silvia Q. Giraudo,Charles J. Billington,Charles J. Billington,Allen S. Levine,Allen S. Levine +4 more
TL;DR: The finding that MT II and SHU9119 have extremely potent effects on feeding when injected in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) provides direct evidence that MC4-R signaling is important in mediating food intake and that melanocortin neurons in the PVN exert a tonic inhibition of feeding behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone morphogenic protein 2 directly enhances differentiation of murine osteoclast precursors.
Eric D. Jensen,Lan Pham,Charles J. Billington,Kelly Espe,Ann E. Carlson,Jennifer J. Westendorf,Anna Petryk,Rajaram Gopalakrishnan,Kim C. Mansky +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that BMP2 synergizes with suboptimal levels of receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand (RANKL) to enhance in vitro differentiation of osteoclast‐like cells, and that autocrine BMP signaling directly promotes the differentiation of bone marrow‐derived cells.
