Hypothalamic endocannabinoids inversely correlate with the development of diet-induced obesity in male and female mice
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019-07)
The endocannabinoid (eCB) system regulates energy homeostasis and is linked to obesity development. However, the exact dynamic and regulation of eCBs in the hypothalamus during obesity progression remain ...
A nucleotide-based drug protects against glutamate- and MPP+ -induced neurotoxicity
(Scientific Research, 2011)
Nucleo CMP Forte® is a nucleotide-based drug consisting of cytidinemonophosphate, uridinemonophosphate, uridin-ediphosphate and uridinetriphosphate. It has been prescribed for peripheral nervous system ...
Ghrelin causes a decline in GABA release by reducing fatty acid oxidation in cortex
(Molecular Neurobiology, 2018)
Lipid metabolism, specifically fatty acid oxidation (FAO) mediated by carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) 1A, has been described to be an important actor of ghrelin action in hypothalamus. However, it ...
Novel regulation of the synthesis of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunit gluA1 by carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C) in the hippocampus
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2015-10-16)
The regulation of AMPA-type receptor (AMPAR) abundance in the postsynaptic membrane is an important mechanism involved in learning and memory formation. Recent data suggest that one of the constituents ...
Sensing of nutrients by CPT1C controls SAC1 activity to regulate AMPA receptor trafficking
(Rockefeller University Press, 2020-09)
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C) is a sensor of malonyl-CoA and is located in the ER of neurons. AMPA receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain and play a key ...
Uridine 5'-triphosphate promotes in vitro Schwannoma cell migration through matrix metalloproteinase-2 activation
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06-06)
In response to peripheral nerve injury, Schwann cells adopt a migratory phenotype and modify the extracellular matrix to make it permissive for cell migration and axonal re-growth. Uridine 5′-triphosphate ...
Hypothalamic AMPK-ER Stress-JNK1 axis mediates the central actions of thyroid hormones on energy balance
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
Thyroid hormones (THs) act in the brain to modulate energy balance. We show that central triiodothyronine (T3) regulates de novo lipogenesis in liver and lipid oxidation in brown adipose tissue (BAT) ...
Dental pulp of the third molar: a new source of pluripotent-like stem cells
(Company of Biologists, 2012-09-05)
Dental pulp is particularly interesting in regenerative medicine because of the accessibility and differentiation potential of the tissue.
Dental pulp has an early developmental origin with multi-lineage ...
Central ceramide-induced hypothalamic lipotoxicity and ER stress regulate energy balance
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
Hypothalamic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a key mechanism leading to obesity. Here, we demonstrate that ceramides induce lipotoxicity and hypothalamic ER stress, leading to sympathetic inhibition, ...
Liver CPT1A gene therapy reduces diet‐induced hepatic steatosis in mice and highlights potential lipid biomarkers for human NAFLD
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020)
The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has increased drastically due to the global obesity pandemic but at present there are no approved therapies. Here, we aimed to revert high‐fat ...
