Antibody-mediated inhibition of the FGFR1c isoform induces a catabolic lean state in Siberian hamsters (2015)
Journal Article
Samms, R. J., Lewis, J. E., Lory, A., Fowler, M. J., Cooper, S., Warner, A., …Ebling, F. J. (2015). Antibody-mediated inhibition of the FGFR1c isoform induces a catabolic lean state in Siberian hamsters. Current Biology, 25(22), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2015.10.010

Hypothalamic tanycytes are considered to function as sensors of peripheral metabolism [1]. To facilitate this role, they express a wide range of receptors, including fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). Using a monoclonal antibody (IMC-H7) th...

The use of viral 2A sequence for the simultaneous over-expression of both the vgf gene and enhanced green fluorescent protein eGFP (2015)
Journal Article
Lewis, J. E., Brameld, J. M., Hill, P., Barrett, P., Ebling, F. J., & Jethwa, P. (in press). The use of viral 2A sequence for the simultaneous over-expression of both the vgf gene and enhanced green fluorescent protein eGFP. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 256, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jneumeth.2015.08.013

Introduction: The viral 2A sequence has become an attractive alternative to the traditional internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) for simultaneous over-expression of two genes and in combination with recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAV) has bee...

Dual effects of fibroblast growth factor 21 on hepatic energy metabolism (2015)
Journal Article
Samms, R. J., Murphy, M., Fowler, M. J., Cooper, S., Emmerson, P., Coskun, T., …Tsintzas, K. (2015). Dual effects of fibroblast growth factor 21 on hepatic energy metabolism. Journal of Endocrinology, 227(1), https://doi.org/10.1530/JOE-15-0334

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which FGF21 affects hepatic integration of carbohydrate and fat metabolism in Siberian hamsters, a natural model of adiposity. Twelve aged matched adult male Siberian hamsters maintained in t... Read More about Dual effects of fibroblast growth factor 21 on hepatic energy metabolism.

Contribution of serotonin and dopamine to changes in core body temperature and locomotor activity in rats following repeated administration of mephedrone (2015)
Journal Article
Shortall, S. E., Spicer, C. H., Ebling, F. J., Green, A. R., Fone, K. C., & King, M. V. (2016). Contribution of serotonin and dopamine to changes in core body temperature and locomotor activity in rats following repeated administration of mephedrone. Addiction Biology, 21(6), 1127-1139. https://doi.org/10.1111/adb.12283

© 2015 Society for the Study of Addiction The psychoactive effects of mephedrone are commonly compared with those of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, but because of a shorter duration of action, users often employ repeated administration to mainta...

Dual signal transduction pathways activated by TSH receptors in rat primary tanycyte cultures (2015)
Journal Article
Bolborea, M., Helfer, G., Ebling, F. J., & Barrett, P. (2015). Dual signal transduction pathways activated by TSH receptors in rat primary tanycyte cultures. Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 54, https://doi.org/10.1530/JME-14-0298

Tanycytes play multiple roles in hypothalamic functions, including sensing peripheral nutrients and metabolic hormones, regulating neurosecretion and mediating seasonal cycles of reproduction and metabolic physiology. This last function reflects the... Read More about Dual signal transduction pathways activated by TSH receptors in rat primary tanycyte cultures.
