Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of the Anti-Obesity Effects of Oxytocin in Diet-Induced Obese Rats
Nicolas Deblon,Christelle Veyrat-Durebex,Lucie Bourgoin,Aurélie Caillon,Anne-Lise Bussier,Stefania Petrosino,Fabiana Piscitelli,Jean-Jacques Legros,Vincent Geenen,Michelangelo Foti,Walter Wahli,Vincenzo Di Marzo,Françoise Rohner-Jeanrenaud +12 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that oxytocin administration could represent a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of human obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor alpha decreases, and interleukin-10 increases, the sensitivity of human monocytes to dexamethasone: potential regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor.
Denis Franchimont,Denis Franchimont,Henri Martens,Marie-Thérèse Hagelstein,Edouard Louis,Walthère Dewé,George P. Chrousos,Jacques Belaiche,Vincent Geenen +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that glucocorticoids differentially modulate TNFalpha and IL-10 secretion by human monocytes in a LPS dose-dependent fashion and that the sensitivity of these cells to glucoc Corticoidoids is altered by TNF alpha or IL- 10 pretreatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human chorionic gonadotropin: a hormone with immunological and angiogenic properties.
Marie Tsampalas,Virginie Gridelet,Sarah Berndt,Jean-Michel Foidart,Vincent Geenen,Sophie Perrier d'HAUTERIVE +5 more
TL;DR: New insight is given into the endocrine-immune dialogue that exists between the conceptus and immune cells within the receptive endometrium at the time of implantation, giving new insight into the cross-talk between the immune and endocrine systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neuroendocrine thymus: coexistence of oxytocin and neurophysin in the human thymus
Vincent Geenen,Jean-Jacques Legros,Paul Franchimont,Marc Baudrihaye,Marie-Paule Defresne,Jacques Boniver +5 more
TL;DR: Thymus contents of oxytocin and neurophysin were far greater than those expected from known circulating concentrations and declined with increasing age, indicating the presence of neurohypophyseal peptides in the human thymus and support the concept of a neuroendocrine function integrated in an immune structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Positive effects of glucocorticoids on T cell function by up-regulation of IL-7 receptor alpha.
Denis Franchimont,Jérôme Galon,Melanie S. Vacchio,Samuel Fan,Roberta Visconti,David M. Frucht,Vincent Geenen,George P. Chrousos,Jonathan D. Ashwell,John J. O'Shea +9 more
TL;DR: IL-7-mediated inhibition of apoptosis at increasing concentrations of glucocorticoids is consistent with enhanced cell sensitivity to IL-7 following glucocORTicoid exposure, and provides a mechanism by which glucoc Corticoid-inducible genes may have a positive influence on T cell survival and function.
