Brain-derived neurotrophic factor has been associated previously with the regulation of food
intake. To help elucidate the role of this neurotrophin in weight regulation, we have …

Its Host Page 1 Chitinase Gene Expression during Mycoparasitic Interaction of Trichoderma …

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) has an important role in the regulation of energy
homeostasis not only through effects on thyroid function orchestrated through hypophysiotropic …

Oral administration of therapeutic peptides is hindered by poor absorption across the
gastrointestinal barrier and extensive degradation by proteolytic enzymes. Here, we investigated …

Leptin and insulin have been identified as fuel sensors acting in part through their hypothalamic
receptors to inhibit food intake and stimulate energy expenditure. As their intracellular …

The hypothalamic arcuate nucleus has an essential role in mediating the homeostatic
responses of the thyroid axis to fasting by altering the sensitivity of prothyrotropin-releasing …

Introduction Ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate appetite, this effect possibly being mediated
by the activation of hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key enzyme in …

Grapevines exhibit a wide spectrum of resistance to the powdery mildew fungus (PM), Erysiphe
necator (Schw.) Burr., but little is known about the transcriptional basis of the defense to …

TRH is a tripeptide amide that functions as a neurotransmitter but also serves as a neurohormone
that has a critical role in the central regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis…

Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analog, induces weight loss, lowers glucose
levels, and reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes. Mechanistic preclinical …
