Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolism disrupting chemicals and metabolic disorders
Jerrold J. Heindel,Bruce Blumberg,Mathew C. Cave,Ronit Machtinger,Alberto Mantovani,Michelle A. Mendez,Angel Nadal,Paola Palanza,Giancarlo Panzica,Robert M. Sargis,Laura N. Vandenberg,Frederick S. vom Saal +11 more
TL;DR: This review will examine changes to the incidence of obesity, T2D and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the contribution of genetics to these disorders and describe the role of the endocrine system in these metabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of PTP1B by trodusquemine (MSI-1436) causes fat-specific weight loss in diet-induced obese mice.
Kristen A. Lantz,Susan G. Emeigh Hart,Sonia Lobo Planey,Mitchell F. Roitman,Inez Ruiz-White,Henry R. Wolfe,Michael Mclane +6 more
TL;DR: The data establish trodusquemine as an effective central and peripheral PTP1B inhibitor with the potential to elicit noncachectic fat‐specific weight loss and improve insulin and leptin levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity and endocrine disease
TL;DR: The fat cell has been found to be an endocrine organ that produces several peptides that are bioactive and participate in the regulation of adipocyte function that contributes to the development of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hypothalamic - Pituitary -Adrenal Axis in the Neuroendocrine Regulation of Food Intake and Obesity: The Role of Corticotropin Releasing Hormone
TL;DR: The role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in the control of food intake and the pathogenesis of obesity is reviewed and the interactions between other neurosystems and this hormonal axis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding trial of a long-acting formulation of octreotide in promoting weight loss in obese adults with insulin hypersecretion
Robert H. Lustig,Frank L. Greenway,Pedro Velasquez-Mieyer,D Heimburger,D Schumacher,Diane K. Smith,W Smith,N Soler,Ghulam Warsi,William Berg,J Maloney,John Benedetto,W. Zhu,John Hohneker +13 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that Caucasian patients with the greater degree of insulin hypersecretion appeared to derive the most benefit from treatment, and the observed safety profile was consistent with the known effects of octreotide from previous studies.

Suppression of food intake in rats by fluoxetine: comparison of enantiomers and effects of serotonin antagonists.
TL;DR: The anorectic effect of fluoxetine in meal-fed rats was not reversed by either centrally or peripherally acting 5HT-2 receptor antagonists (ritanserin, LY53857, xylamidine, BW 501C67) or a nonspecific 5HT receptor antagonist, metergoline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term follow-up of children with craniopharyngioma
TL;DR: Unless radical tumor removal can be attempted with safety, subtotal tumor removal plus radiotherapy appears to be the treatment of choice for craniopharyngioma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of serotonin and the serotonin blocker metergoline on meal patterns and macronutrient selection.
TL;DR: Results indicate that PVN administration of 5-HT at dark onset decreases intake of the carbohydrate nutrient by decreasing meal size, feeding time, and feeding rate for this nutrient and increasing the satiating effect of carbohydrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consequences of Ventromedial Hypothalamic Lesions upon Insulin and Glucagon Secretion by Subsequently Isolated Perfused Pancreases in the Rat
TL;DR: The concept of a link (as yet undefined) between the hypothalamus and the endocrine pancreas is supported, as lesions of the VMH area resulted in abnormal secretion not only of insulin, but of glucagon as well.

TL;DR: GH increased the rate of total basal glucose turnover, whereas oxidative glucose disposal was significantly decreased, and Lean body mass was assessed at the end of each period by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.
