The tale of a person and a peptide: Wylie W. Vale Jr. and the role of corticotropin- releasing factor in the stress response
(Elsevier Science PublisherAmsterdam, 2013-12)
The studies reviewed in this article certainly do not constitute the entire body of research conducted by Wylie Vale's group and his collaborators, they might constitute turning points in CRF research. In addition, the ...
Corticotropin-releasing factor type-2 receptor and corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein coexist in rat ventral tegmental area nerve terminals originated in the lateral hypothalamic area
(2016)
There is significant functional evidence showing that corticotropin-releasing factor type-2 receptor (CRF2R) and corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein (CRF-BP) regulate glutamatergic synapses onto ventral tegmental ...
The centrally projecting Edinger-Westphal nucleus-I: Efferents in the rat brain
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-10-01)
The oculomotor accessory nucleus, often referred to as the Edinger-Westphal nucleus [EW], was first identified in the 17th century. Although its most well known function is the control of pupil diameter, some controversy ...
Anatomical organization of urocortin 3-Synthesizing neurons and immunoreactive terminals in the central nervous system of non-human primates [Sapajus spp.]
(2017-07-24)
Urocortin 3 (UCN3) is a neuropeptide member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) peptide family that acts as a selective endogenous ligand for the CRF, subtype 2 (CRF2) receptor. Immunohistochemistry and in situ ...
Sex-specific brain erythropoietin regulation of mouse metabolism and hypothalamic inflammation
(American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2020)
The blood hormone erythropoietin (EPO), upon binding to its receptor (EpoR), modulates high-fat diet-induced (HFO-induced) obesity in mice, improves glucose tolerance, and prevents white adipose tissue inflammation. ...
