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 …

Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons of the forebrain play a pivotal role
in the neuroendocrine control of reproduction. Although serum estrogen levels influence …

Abstract Feedback regulation of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons by
estradiol plays important roles in the neuroendocrine control of reproduction. Recently, we …

Mammalian reproduction is dependent upon intermittent delivery of luteinizing hormone-releasing
hormone (LHRH) to the anterior pituitary. This mode of secretion is required to …

To determine whether the type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D2), the principal central
nervous system enzyme converting T 4 to biologically active T 3 , is regulated in tanycytes by …

Here, we sought to demonstrate that the orexigenic circulating hormone, ghrelin, is able to
exert neurobiological effects (including those linked to feeding control) at the level of the …

Hypothyroidism in humans is characterized by severe neurological consequences that are
often irreversible, highlighting the critical role of thyroid hormone (TH) in the brain. Despite this…

OBJECTIVE—Blockade of the CB1 receptor is one of the promising strategies for the treatment
of obesity. Although antagonists suppress food intake and reduce body weight, the role of …

Nissl staining is a widely used method to study morphology and pathology of neural tissue.
After standard immunocytochemistry, the Nissl staining labels only the nucleus of neurons …

The regulatory actions of estrogen on magnocellular oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP)
neurons of the paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) nuclei are well documented. To …
