Metabolic Regulation by Nuclear Receptors
Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a large family of ligand-dependent transcriptional regulators that control development, reproduction, metabolism, and inflammation. Cognate ligands include fatty acids, bile acids, steroids, vitamins A and D, a...
متن کاملBrain nuclear receptors and body weight regulation.
Neural pathways, especially those in the hypothalamus, integrate multiple nutritional, hormonal, and neural signals, resulting in the coordinated control of body weight balance and glucose homeostasis. Nuclear receptors (NRs) sense changing levels of nutrients and hormones, and therefore play essential roles in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Understanding the role and the underlying mech...
متن کاملBrain nuclear receptors and body weight regulation
Introduction Obesity is a serious global health problem due to its increasing prevalence and comorbidities. Over 30% of Americans are obese (1). Obese individuals are at an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. These observations highlight the urgent need to better understand the physiology of body weight control, which may facilitate the development...
متن کاملBile acids and gene regulation: from nuclear receptors to chromatin.
Transcription regulation by bile acids is far more complicated than it appeared at first when several groups began their investigations in the early '90. It has become clear now that bile acids regulate the transcription of genes involved in bile acid synthesis, transport and other metabolic pathways via multiple mechanisms that involve transcription factors, nuclear receptors, coregulators, ch...
متن کاملThe hormonal milieu in primary breast cancer: A correlation between steroid receptors and serum estradiol, progesterone and prolactin
Background: The female breast is subjected to a lifetime of hormonal controls, whose effect is evident at the time of menarche and during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and lactation. Studies have reported multiple risk factors for breast cancer, some of which are a reflection of hormonally mediated events. The steroid receptors are also served as prognostic factors for evaluating status of mal...
