An Evolutionary Genetic Perspective of Eating Disorders
Published in Neuroendocrinology
Eating disorders (ED) including anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED) affect up to 5% of the population in Western countries. Risk factors for developing an ED include personality traits, family environment, gender, age, ethnicity, and culture. Despite being moderately to highly heritable with estimates rangin...
The Genetic Basis of Delayed Puberty
Published in Neuroendocrinology
The genetic control of puberty remains an important but mostly unanswered question. Late pubertal timing affects over 2% of adolescents and is associated with adverse health outcomes including short stature, reduced bone mineral density, and compromised psychosocial health. Self-limited delayed puberty (DP) is a highly heritable trait, which often ...
Emerging Roles of Kisspeptin in Sexual and Emotional Brain Processing
Published in Neuroendocrinology
The emergence of kisspeptin as a crucial regulator of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis over the last 14 years has answered many questions as to the control of reproductive hormone secretion from the hypothalamus. More recently, the role of kisspeptin outside the HPG axis has received increasing attention in the hope of delineating the p...

Digestive System Mixed Neuroendocrine-Non-Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
...Published in Neuroendocrinology
Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN) are a heterogeneous subgroup of rare neoplasms that represent about a third of all poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (PDNEC). MiNEN combine a neuroendocrine component, usually a PDNEC, and a non-neuroendocrine component, generally an adenocarcinoma, both accounting for at least...
18F-FDG Uptake in Well-Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors Correlates with Both Ki-67 and VHL Pathway Inactivation
...Published in Neuroendocrinology
Background:18F-FDG-PET scan positivity correlates with poor prognosis in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9) are markers of aggressiveness in tumors. Together with von Hippel-Lindau protein (pVHL), they are involved in tumor cell metabolism via the hypoxia-inducible factor signaling pathway. ...
The Hypothalamic Preoptic Area and Body Weight Control
Published in Neuroendocrinology
The preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus is involved in many physiological and behavioral processes thanks to its interconnections to many brain areas and ability to respond to diverse humoral factors. One main function of the POA is to manage body temperature homeostasis, e.g. in response to ambient temperature change, which is achieved in part...
New Molecular, Biological, and Immunological Agents Inducing Hypophysitis
Published in Neuroendocrinology
Hypophysitis is a relatively rare disease that exerts a strong autoimmune component encompassing different etiologies. Immunomodulatory drugs, such as interferon-α, are known to rarely induce hypophysitis. In recent years, a large number of new biological and immunomodulatory agents have been introduced into clinical practice. Although immune-suppr...

Published in Neuroendocrinology
Background: Studies examining the ability of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) to enhance memory in women, and in animal models, have not produced consistent results. However, studies examining the effects of activity and exposure to novel environments consistently find enhancement of memory. Methods: An animal model of reproductive aging was used...
