Journal ArticleDOI

extrahypothalamic gabaergic nociceptin–expressing neurons regulate agrp neuron activity to control feeding behavior

TL;DR: It is shown that nociceptin-expressing neurons in the anterior bed nuclei of the stria terminalis (aBNST) make direct GABAergic inputs onto AgRP neurons, which may act as a gateway to feeding behavior by connecting Ag RP neurons to both homeostatic and nonhomeostatic neuronal inputs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of anterior pituitary galanin and vasoactive intestinal peptide by oestrogen and prolactin status.

TL;DR: It appears that prolactin negatively regulates anterior pituitary galanin and VIP gene expression and content, probably due to a direct effect on the anterior pituitsary and by altered secretion of hypothalamic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental analysis of risk factors for ulcerative dermatitis in mice

TL;DR: It is shown that high‐fat diet (HFD) feeding significantly increased incidence of UD in wild type (WT) C57BL/6 mice, as did lithium‐mediated inhibition of GSK3‐β, which is a key negative regulator of IRS1.
Journal ArticleDOI

High fat diet causes distinct aberrations in the testicular proteome.

TL;DR: This study focused mainly on the abnormalities that occurred at the protein level and as a result, several candidate proteins and pathway analysis around the effects of HF diet on the testis providing novel insights not previously described are identified.
