...José L. Soengas; Sara Comesaña; Marta Conde-Sieira; Ayelén M. Blanco ABSTRACT The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in regulating feeding behavior in fish. In this Review, we aim to summarise current knowledge on specific mechanisms for sensing glucose, fatty acids and amino acids in fish...

... comprehensively researched, the role of the nervous system in this process remains relatively underexplored. In this Review, we adopt the perspective that the nervous system plays an active, essential role in facilitating and supporting hibernation. Accumulating evidence strongly suggests that the hypothalamus...

In the second experiment, we assessed the impact of the same treatments on mRNA abundance in the hypothalamus and hindbrain of neuropeptides involved in the metabolic control of food intake...

... into the migratory phenotype. This was evidenced by post-mortem comparison of the expression of 13 genes with known functions in the skin (temperature-sensitive TRP channels: trpv4 and trpm8 ), hypothalamus and/or midbrain (migration-linked genes: th , ddc , adcyap1 and vps13a ) and flight muscles (muscle growth...

We have therefore demonstrated, for the first time in fish, that the peripheral (pre-absorptive) detection of an amino acid ( l -proline...

..., in a first experiment, we observed that ceramide levels in the hypothalamus of rainbow trout did not change after ICV treatment with GHRL. In a second experiment, we assessed whether the effects of GHRL treatment on the regulation of food intake in rainbow trout changed in the presence of ceramide. Thus, we...

These results suggest that direct dopaminergic control of GnRH1 neurons via interactions in the hypothalamus is not exclusive to tetrapod reproductive control, but is likely conserved across vertebrate species.

.... In GDX males, low expression of kiss1 mRNA is observed by in situ hybridization in the caudal hypothalamus (CH) and the mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH), although hypothalamic changes in kiss1 mRNA levels were not statistically different among the groups, as revealed by real-time PCR. However, T strongly...

Here, we present the effect of transcranial light treatment on OPN3 expression and monoamine concentrations in mouse brain and other tissues...

In particular, we focus on signalling via endocannabinoids and describe plasticity in this system that impacts fast retrograde signalling at synapses on to the stress command neurons in the brain. Interestingly, this plasticity appears to be limited to early adolescence, hinting at unique modes...

Among LPS-challenged hamsters, sleep deprivation reduced IL-1 mRNA levels in liver and hypothalamus, but not TNF. IL-1 attenuation was independent of circulating...
