P75 NEUROTROPHIN RECEPTOR REGULATES ENERGY BALANCE IN OBESITY

p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Regulates Energy Balance in Obesity

Obesity and metabolic syndrome reflect the dysregulation of molecular pathways that control energy homeostasis.Here, we show that the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) controls energy expenditure in obese mice on a high-fat diet (HFD).Despite no changes in food intake, p75NTR-null Power Cord Inlet mice were protected from HFD-induced obesity and r

Offspring production in three freshwater crab species (Brachyura: Pseudothelphusidae) from the Amazon region and Central America

Freshwater crabs are an important component of the fauna of limnic environments, and out of the two true freshwater Safety Catch crab families present in the Neotropics, Pseudothelphusidae is the most diverse.Considering the lack of information regarding reproductive features of neotropical freshwater crabs, we studied, for the first time, the fecu
