Book Chapter
Small, C. J., Jethwa, P. H., & Bloom, S. R. (2006). Peptide YY (PYY) And Neuromedin U (NMU): Effects On Ingestive Behavior. In A. J. Kastin (Ed.), Handbook of Biologically Active Peptides (945-952). Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-012369442-3/50132-X

This chapter discusses the effects of Neuromedin U (NMU) and Peptide YY (PYY) on ingestive behavior and their potential as anti-obesity agents. Many peptides are synthesized and released from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the central nervous sy... Read More about Peptide YY (PYY) And Neuromedin U (NMU): Effects On Ingestive Behavior.

Neuromedin U (NMU): Brain Peptide (2006)
Book Chapter

Neuromedin U (NMU) is one of the most abundant neuropeptides and has been found in significant concentrations in both the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the central nervous system (CNS). There are two molecular forms of NMU; an icosapentapeptide (NM... Read More about Neuromedin U (NMU): Brain Peptide.

Chronic subcutaneous administration of kisspeptin-54 causes testicular degeneration in adult male rats (2006)
Journal Article
Thompson, E. L., Murphy, K. G., Patterson, M., Bewick, G. A., Stamp, G. W., Curtis, A. E., …Bloom, S. R. (2006). Chronic subcutaneous administration of kisspeptin-54 causes testicular degeneration in adult male rats. AJP - Endocrinology and Metabolism, 291(5), https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpendo.00040.2006

The kisspeptins are KiSS-1 gene-derived peptides that signal through the G protein-coupled receptor-54 (GPR54) and have recently been shown to be critical regulators of reproduction. Acute intracerebroventricular or peripheral administration of kissp... Read More about Chronic subcutaneous administration of kisspeptin-54 causes testicular degeneration in adult male rats.

Peripheral INSL3 concentrations decline with age in a large population of Australian men (2006)
Journal Article
Anand-Ivell, R., Wohlgemuth, J., Haren, M. T., Hope, P. J., Hatzinikolas, G., Wittert, G., & Ivell, R. (2006). Peripheral INSL3 concentrations decline with age in a large population of Australian men. International Journal of Andrology, 29(6), 618-626. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2605.2006.00714.x

The novel peptide hormone insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a major secretory product of the Leydig cells of the testis, and in adult men is secreted into the blood, giving rise to circulating concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 ng/mL. We studied... Read More about Peripheral INSL3 concentrations decline with age in a large population of Australian men.

Neuromedin U partially mediates leptin-induced hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal (HPA) stimulation and has a physiological role in the regulation of the HPA axis in the rat (2006)
Journal Article
Jethwa, P. H., Smith, K. L., Small, C. J., Abbott, C. R., Darch, S. J., Murphy, K. G., …Bloom, S. R. (2006). Neuromedin U partially mediates leptin-induced hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal (HPA) stimulation and has a physiological role in the regulation of the HPA axis in the rat. Endocrinology, 147(6), 2886-2892. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2005-0983

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of the hypothalamic neuropeptide neuromedin U (NMU) or the adipostat hormone leptin increases plasma ACTH and corticosterone. The relationship between leptin and NMU in the regulation of the hypothalamo-pi...

Expression of the insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) hormone-receptor (LGR8) system in the testis (2006)
Journal Article
Anand-Ivell, R. J., Relan, V., Balvers, M., Coiffec-Dorval, I., Fritsch, M., Bathgate, R. A., & Ivell, R. (2006). Expression of the insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) hormone-receptor (LGR8) system in the testis. Biology of Reproduction, 74(5), 945-953. https://doi.org/10.1095/biolreprod.105.048165

The new peptide hormone insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a member of the insulin-relaxin family, yet, unlike insulin, it signals through a new G-protein coupled receptor, LGR8, distantly related to the receptors for LH and FSH. INSL3 is produced in... Read More about Expression of the insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) hormone-receptor (LGR8) system in the testis.

Tocopherol: an intrinsic component of sunflower seed oil bodies (2006)
Journal Article
Fisk, I. D., White, D. A., Carvalho, A., & Gray, D. A. (2006). Tocopherol: an intrinsic component of sunflower seed oil bodies. Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 83(4), (341-344). doi:10.1007/s11746-006-1210-2. ISSN 0003-021X

Oil bodies were removed from mature sunflower through wet grinding followed by filtration then centrifugation and recovered as the buoyant fraction. Washing this fraction with buffer (water?washed oil bodies, WWOB) or 9 M urea (urea?washed oil bodies... Read More about Tocopherol: an intrinsic component of sunflower seed oil bodies.

Effects of fatty acids on skeletal muscle cell differentiation in vitro (2006)
Journal Article
Hurley, M. S., Flux, C., Salter, A. M., & Brameld, J. M. (2006). Effects of fatty acids on skeletal muscle cell differentiation in vitro. British Journal of Nutrition, 95(3), 623-630. https://doi.org/10.1079/BJN20051711

Previous studies have shown stimulatory effects of linoleic acid (LA, C18:2) on differentiation of rat muscle cells in culture (Allen et al. 1985), but there appears to be little investigation of the effects of other fatty acids. The present study th... Read More about Effects of fatty acids on skeletal muscle cell differentiation in vitro.
