Developmental and hormonally regulated messenger ribonucleic acid expression of KiSS-1 and its putative receptor, GPR54, in rat hypothalamus and potent luteinizing hormone-releasing activity of…
The gonadotropic axis is centrally controlled by a complex regulatory network of excitatory and inhibitory signals that is activated at puberty. Recently, loss of function mutations of the gene… Expand

Hypothalamic fatty acid metabolism mediates the orexigenic action of ghrelin.
Current evidence suggests that hypothalamic fatty acid metabolism may play a role in regulating food intake; however, confirmation that it is a physiologically relevant regulatory system of feeding… Expand

Changes in hypothalamic KiSS-1 system and restoration of pubertal activation of the reproductive axis by kisspeptin in undernutrition.
Activation of the gonadotropic axis critically depends on sufficient body energy stores, and conditions of negative energy balance result in lack of puberty onset and reproductive failure. Recently,… Expand

Advanced vaginal opening and precocious activation of the reproductive axis by KiSS‐1 peptide, the endogenous ligand of GPR54
The awakening of the gonadotrophic axis at puberty is the end‐point of a complex cascade of sex developmental events that leads to the attainment of reproductive capacity. Recently, loss‐of‐function… Expand

Kisspeptins and reproduction: physiological roles and regulatory mechanisms.
Procreation is essential for survival of species. Not surprisingly, complex neuronal networks have evolved to mediate the diverse internal and external environmental inputs that regulate reproduction… Expand

Endocrine activities of ghrelin, a natural growth hormone secretagogue (GHS), in humans: comparison and interactions with hexarelin, a nonnatural peptidyl GHS, and GH-releasing hormone.
An endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue-receptor (GHS-receptor) has recently been isolated, from both the rat and the human stomach, and named ghrelin. It is a 28-amino-acid peptide showing a… Expand

AMPK: a metabolic gauge regulating whole-body energy homeostasis.
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the downstream component of a kinase cascade that acts as a gauge of cellular energy levels. Over the last few years, accumulating evidence has demonstrated… Expand

Adipokines as emerging mediators of immune response and inflammation
The scientific interest in the biology of white adipose tissue (WAT) has increased since the discovery of leptin in 1994. The description of the product of the gene obese (ob) demonstrated the role… Expand

Hypothalamic AMPK and fatty acid metabolism mediate thyroid regulation of energy balance
Thyroid hormones have widespread cellular effects; however it is unclear whether their effects on the central nervous system (CNS) contribute to global energy balance. Here we demonstrate that either… Expand

Changes in plasma levels of fat-derived hormones adiponectin, leptin, resistin and visfatin in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory condition characterised by polyarthritis and severe change in body mass and neuroendocrine environment. OBJECTIVES To… Expand
