Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster.
A wide variety of enzymatic pathways that produce specialized metabolites in bacteria, fungi and plants are known to be encoded in biosynthetic gene clusters. Information about these clusters,… Expand

Voluntary exercise prevents the obese and diabetic metabolic syndrome of the melanocortin‐4 receptor knockout mouse
Exercise is a mechanism for maintenance of body weight in humans. Morbidly obese human patients have been shown to possess single nucleotide polymorphisms in the melanocortin‐4 receptor (MC4R). MC4R… Expand

Voluntary exercise delays monogenetic obesity and overcomes reproductive dysfunction of the melanocortin-4 receptor knockout mouse.
The melanocortin system is involved in hypothalamic regulation of energy homeostasis. The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) has been linked to both obesity and reproductive dysfunction. Deletion of the… Expand

Ghrelin-induced food intake and growth hormone secretion are altered in melanocortin 3 and 4 receptor knockout mice
Ghrelin stimulates food intake in part by activating hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons/agouti related peptide (AGRP) neurons. We investigated the role of AGRP/melanocortin signaling in… Expand

Comparative Laboratory Toxicity of Neem Pesticides to Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae), Their Mite Parasites Varroa jacobsoni (Acari: Varroidae) and Acarapis woodi (Acari: Tarsonemidae), and Brood…
Abstract Laboratory bioassays were conducted to evaluate neem oil and neem extract for the management of key honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) pests. Neem pesticides inhibited the growth of Paenibacillus… Expand

Exendin‐4 Therapy in NOD Mice with New‐Onset Diabetes Increases Regulatory T Cell Frequency
Recent studies, albeit controversial, have suggested that the incretin exendin‐4 (Ex‐4) is capable of inducing β cell proliferation in vivo. Furthermore, this compound has been shown to enhance the… Expand

Food motivated behavior of melanocortin-4 receptor knockout mice under a progressive ratio schedule
Melanocortin-4 receptor knockout (MC4RKO) mice are hyperphagic and develop obesity under free feeding conditions. We reported previously that MC4RKO mice did not maintain hyperphagia and as a result… Expand

Implication of the melanocortin-3 receptor in the regulation of food intake.
The melanocortin system is well recognized to be involved in the regulation of food intake, body weight, and energy homeostasis. To probe the role of the MC(3) in the regulation of food intake,… Expand

Meal patterns and foraging in melanocortin receptor knockout mice
We report the meal patterns of mice with the deletion of either the melanocortin type 3 or 4 receptors (MC3RKO or MC4RKO) compared with that of the wild type (WT) under conditions of varying foraging… Expand

Inhibition of adenosine kinase induces expression of VEGF mRNA and protein in myocardial myoblasts.
We tested whether increased endogenous adenosine produced by the adenosine kinase inhibitor GP-515 (Metabasis Therapeutics) can induce vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in cultured… Expand
