DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2021.147371
Abstract: The hormonal stress response, mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, shows greater responsiveness to various stressors in prepubertal compared to adult animals. Though the implications of this age-related change are unclear, this heightened reactivity might… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2021.147625
Abstract: The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) receives viscerosensory information from the vagus nerve to regulate diverse homeostatic reflex functions. The NTS projects to a wide network of other brain regions, including the paraventricular nucleus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.109997
Abstract: The anorexigenic effect of serotonergic compounds has largely been attributed to activation of serotonin 2C receptors (Htr2cs). Using mouse genetic models in which Htr2c can be selectively deleted or restored (in Htr2c-null mice), we investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2017.09.053
Abstract: The sagittalis nucleus of the hypothalamus (SGN) is a small nucleus located in the interstitial area between the arcuate and ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus in rats. The SGN exhibits male-biased sexual dimorphism and expresses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s0012496617010082
Abstract: Using immunofluorescent techniques, we have demonstrated the presence of two main types of dopamine receptors, D1 and D2, on the bodies of neurons of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus expressing the precursor of peptides… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2020.578830
Abstract: Obesity has become a global health issue, but effective therapies remain very limited. Adaptive thermogenesis promotes weight loss by dissipating energy in the form of heat, thereby representing a promising target to counteract obesity. Notably,… read more here.
