Journal ArticleDOI

High-density lipoprotein binding to scavenger receptor-BI activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase

TL;DR: It is shown that HDL stimulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in cultured endothelial cells through a process that requires ApoA-I binding, and the resulting increase in nitric-oxide production might be critical to the atheroprotective properties of HDL and Apo-I.
Journal ArticleDOI

The orexigenic hormone ghrelin defends against depressive symptoms of chronic stress

TL;DR: It is found that increasing ghrelin levels, through subcutaneous injections or calorie restriction, produced anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like responses in the elevated plus maze and forced swim test, demonstrating a previously unknown function for ghrel in defending against depressive-like symptoms of chronic stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ghrelin increases the rewarding value of high-fat diet in an orexin-dependent manner.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate an obligatory role for ghrelin in certain rewarding aspects of eating that is separate from eating associated with body weight homeostasis and that requires the presence of intact orexin signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of Kiss1 neurons using transgenic mouse models

TL;DR: The differences observed between the Kiss1 neurons in the preoptic area and the Arc likely represent neuronal evidence for their differential roles in metabolism and reproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ghrelin mediates stress-induced food-reward behavior in mice

TL;DR: This mouse model has allowed us to ascribe a role for ghrelin-engaged catecholaminergic neurons in stress-induced eating, and to describe a system in which food-reward behavior is monitored in mice after exposure to chronic social defeat stress.
