Circumventing leptin resistance for weight control.
I the avalanche of recent information on the brain’s control of energy homeostasis and the pathophysiology of obesity, there are two outstanding insights. One is enhanced knowledge of the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of various components of the appetite regulation and energy expenditure networks in the hypothalamus, and the other is characterization of the neurobiology of leptin in regulati...
متن کاملLeptin-Induced Leptin Resistance Reveals Separate Roles for the Anorexic and Thermogenic Responses in Weight Maintenance.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether leptin induces leptin resistance by examining the temporal attenuation of the anorexic and energy expenditure responses to leptin. We administered recombinant adeno-associated virus encoding rat leptin cDNA or control viral vector into mildly obese rats for 138 d and compared these results with those from pair-fed rats. We measured food consump...
متن کاملCircumventing tumor resistance to chemotherapy by nanotechnology.
Patient relapse and metastasis of malignant cells is very common after standard cancer treatment with surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. Chemotherapy, a cornerstone in the development of present day cancer therapy, is one of the most effective and potent strategies to treat malignant tumors. However, the resistance of cancer cells to the drugs remains a significant impediment to successfu...
متن کاملProspects for circumventing aminoglycoside kinase mediated antibiotic resistance
Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Unfortunately, resistance in clinical isolates is pervasive, rendering many aminoglycosides ineffective. The most widely disseminated means of resistance to this class of antibiotics is inactivation of the drug by aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs). There are two principal strategies to overcoming t...
متن کاملNeuroanatomy of body weight control: lessons learned from leptin.
Rather than arising from the passive accumulation of excess calories, obesity is a state in which the biologically defended level of body fat stores increases due to defects in the homeostatic process that matches food intake and energy expenditure over time. By deleting leptin receptors from distinct brain regions and neuronal subsets, researchers are beginning to identify the neuroanatomical ...
