Biol Psychiatry . 2022 Nov; 93(4):309-321. PMID: 36400605
Background: A greater understanding of how the brain controls appetite is fundamental to developing new approaches for treating diseases characterized by dysfunctional feeding behavior, such as obesity and anorexia nervosa....

J Neurochem . 2016 Feb; 137(3):460-71. PMID: 26872221
The gut hormone ghrelin is widely beneficial in many disease states. However, ghrelin exists in two distinctive isoforms, each with its own metabolic profile. In Parkinson's Disease (PD) acylated ghrelin...

Borg M, Reichenbach A, Lemus M, Oldfield B, Andrews Z, Watt M
Neuroendocrinology . 2015 Jun; 103(3-4):223-9. PMID: 26088805
Background/aims: Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) exerts powerful anorectic effects and has been suggested to regulate long-term energy balance by inducing adult neurogenesis in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. Methods:...

Borg M, Lemus M, Reichenbach A, Selathurai A, Oldfield B, Andrews Z, et al.
Diabetes . 2014 Jun; 63(11):3647-58. PMID: 24898143
Neurons within the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) are important regulators of energy balance. Recent studies suggest that neurogenesis in the ARC is an important regulator of body mass in response...

Smith J, Reichenbach A, Lemus M, Mani B, Zigman J, Andrews Z
Peptides . 2013 Jul; 47:45-53. PMID: 23831041
Ghrelin acts on the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) in the brain to elicit changes in physiological functions. It is associated with the neural control of appetite and metabolism, however...

Spencer S, Xu L, Clarke M, Lemus M, Reichenbach A, Geenen B, et al.
Biol Psychiatry . 2012 Apr; 72(6):457-65. PMID: 22521145
Background: Ghrelin plays important roles in glucose metabolism, appetite, and body weight regulation, and recent evidence suggests ghrelin prevents excessive anxiety under conditions of chronic stress. Methods: We used ghrelin...

Hollis J, Jonaidi H, Lemus M, Oldfield B
J Neuroimmunol . 2011 Jan; 233(1-2):127-34. PMID: 21262543
Arachidonylethanolamide (AEA), an endocannabinoid, regulates both appetite and the immune system. The present study investigated in the rat the ability of AEA (1mg/kg, s.c.) to attenuate the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced (100μg/kg,...

Hollis J, Lemus M, Evetts M, Oldfield B
Neuropharmacology . 2010 Jan; 58(4-5):730-8. PMID: 20045008
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is often used to mimic acute infection and induces hypophagia, the selective partitioning of fat for energy, and fever. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine expressed in the...
