Diet‐induced insulin resistance promotes amyloidosis in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Recent epidemiological evidence indicates that insulin resistance, a proximal cause of Type II diabetes [a non‐insulin dependent form of diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)], is associated with an increased… Expand

Hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin mRNA is reduced by fasting and [corrected] in ob/ob and db/db mice, but is stimulated by leptin.
Reduction in the activity of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) system causes obesity, and infusions of alpha-MSH can produce satiety, raising the possibility that alpha-MSH may… Expand

Hypothalamic glucose sensor: similarities to and differences from pancreatic beta-cell mechanisms.
Glucose-responsive neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) are stimulated when glucose increases from 5 to 20 mmol/l and are thought to play an essential role in regulating metabolism. The… Expand

Hypothalamic agouti-related protein messenger ribonucleic acid is inhibited by leptin and stimulated by fasting.
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is a homologue of the agouti gene product and, when overexpressed, promotes obesity. Like neuropeptide Y (NPY) messenger RNA (mRNA), AGRP mRNA is produced in the… Expand

Silencing of estrogen receptor α in the ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus leads to metabolic syndrome
Estrogen receptor α (ERα) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure by estrogens. Although it is well documented that a disruption of ERα signaling in ERα knockout… Expand

Peroxisome proliferation–associated control of reactive oxygen species sets melanocortin tone and feeding in diet-induced obesity
Previous studies have proposed roles for hypothalamic reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the modulation of circuit activity of the melanocortin system. Here we show that suppression of ROS diminishes… Expand

Reduction in the activity of the α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) system causes obesity, and infusions of α-MSH can produce satiety, raising the possibility that α-MSH may mediate… Expand

Sexual stimulation activates c-fos within estrogen-concentrating regions of the female rat forebrain
Regions of the brain that concentrate estrogen and progesterone are thought to regulate female sexual behavior by altering gene expression and neural sensitivity to afferent stimulation. We used… Expand

Targeted Deletion of the Vgf Gene Indicates that the Encoded Secretory Peptide Precursor Plays a Novel Role in the Regulation of Energy Balance
To determine the function of VGF, a secreted polypeptide that is synthesized by neurons, is abundant in the hypothalamus, and is regulated in the brain by electrical activity, injury, and the… Expand

Role of CBP and SATB-1 in Aging, Dietary Restriction, and Insulin-Like Signaling
Increased transcriptional complex activity, or pharmacological mimics of increased complex activity, predict lifespan in mice and mediate the protective effects of dietary restriction during aging.
