Leptin is an essential hormone for the regulation of energy balance in adults through its action on specific neuron populations expressing leptin receptor (LepR). The obesity and overweight are both leading causes of death worldwide and specifically in Brazil. For the first time, over half of its population is overweight or obese. Most obese individuals are leptin resistant. However, some…
In mammals, the central endogenous clock located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) coordinate the biologic rhythmicity, regulating circadian and seasonal rhythms as well as establishing an important influence over the peripherical clocks.Melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland, is known for being an important regulator of the endogenous rhythms, including locomoto…
Approximately 17% of U.S. children and adolescents are obese, and are thus at high risk of developing further complications in adulthood. Animal models recapitulate epidemiological observations in humans that rapid early growth rates (1-3 weeks in rodents and 1-2 years of age in children) are associated with later obesity risk, independent of birth weight. Using the mouse model system, th…
