Stress induced obesity: lessons from rodent models of stress
Stress was once defined as the non-specific result of the body to any demand or challenge to homeostasis. A more current view of stress is the behavioral and physiological responses generated in the face of, or in anticipation of, a perceived threat. The stress response involves activation of the sympathetic nervous system and recruitment of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. When a...
متن کاملRodent models of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Diabetic cardiomyopathy increases the risk of heart failure in individuals with diabetes, independently of co-existing coronary artery disease and hypertension. The underlying mechanisms for this cardiac complication are incompletely understood. Research on rodent models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and the use of genetic engineering techniques in mice, have greatly advanced our understanding...
متن کاملRodent models of intracerebral hemorrhage.
The collagenase and whole blood intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) models are widely used to identify mechanisms of injury and to evaluate treatments. Despite preclinical successes, to date, no treatment tested in phase III clinical trials has benefited ICH patients. These failures call into question the predictive value of current ICH models. By highlighting differences between these common rodent...
متن کاملEvaluation of AMG 076, a potent and selective MCHR1 antagonist, in rodent and primate obesity models
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) regulates food intake through activation of the receptor, MCHR1. We have identified AMG 076 as an orally bioavailable potent and selective small molecule antagonist of MCHR1. In mouse models of obesity, AMG 076 caused a reduction in body weight gain in wild-type (MCHR1+/+) but not in knockout (MCHR1-/-) mice. The body weight reduction was associated with decr...
متن کاملGenetic Rodent Models of Obesity-Associated Ovarian Dysfunction and Subfertility: Insights into Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy affecting women and a leading cause of female infertility worldwide. Defined clinically by the presence of hyperandrogenemia and oligomenorrhoea, PCOS represents a state of hormonal dysregulation, disrupted ovarian follicle dynamics, and subsequent oligo- or anovulation. The syndrome's prevalence is attributed, at least partly, ...
