Glucagon, GLP-1 and thermogenesis
(MDPI, 2019)
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis is a conserved mechanism to maintain body temperature in mammals. However, since BAT contribution to energy expenditure can represent a relevant modulator of metabolic homeostasis, ...
CPT1C in the ventromedial nucleus of thehypothalamus is necessary for brown fatthermogenesis activation in obesity
(Elsevier, 2019)
Objective:Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C) is implicated in central regulation of energy homeostasis. Our aim was to investigatewhether CPT1C in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH) is involved in ...
Genetic Targeting of GRP78 in the VMH Improves Obesity Independently of Food Intake
(MDPI, 2018)
Recent data have demonstrated that the hypothalamic GRP78/BiP (glucose regulated protein 78 kDa/binding immunoglobulin protein) modulates brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis by acting downstream on AMP-activated protein ...
Estradiol Regulates Energy Balance by Ameliorating Hypothalamic Ceramide-Induced ER Stress
(Elsevier, 2018)
Compelling evidence has shown that, besides its putative effect on the regulation of the gonadal axis, estradiol (E2) exerts a dichotomic effect on the hypothalamus to regulate food intake and energy expenditure. The ...
