Menstrual status is known to influence thermoregulation, and fluid loss during exercise/heat stress may vary at different stages of the ovarian cycle in healthy women. It has been established that the steroid hormones, estrogen and...
Disruptions in the regulation of food intake and metabolism can result in obesity or anorexia. It is clear that zinc deficiency results in anorexia and previous research suggests the existence of alterations in energy efficiency and...
The voltage-gated potassium channel, Kv1.3, carries 60-80% outward current in the olfactory bulb (OB) primary output neuron, the mitral cell. Gene-targeted deletion of the Kv1.3, produces lean mice that have supernumerary and...
Depression, anxiety, and impairments in learning and memory are all associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). While zinc deficiency has been correlated with depression, supplemental zinc appears to have antidepressant effects in both...
While it is well established that estradiol exerts a potent, anorexigenic effect in a variety of species (27; 33; 57; 84), the mechanism underlying this action of estradiol is poorly understood. My previous research has demonstrated that...
Olfactory perception affects the food choice of most living species. A strong set of data have been accumulated to demonstrate that the olfactory bulb, the first relay of olfactory information, as a metabolic sensor. Mitral cells of the...
The most potent, naturally occurring estrogen, estradiol, is involved in the physiological control of food intake. Estradiol appears to exert its anorexigenic effect by activating nuclear estrogen receptors (ERs), which are expressed...
Although zinc has been implicated in the functionality of the hippocampus since the 1970's, the recent discovery of adult neuronal stem cells in this region of the brain provides the potential for novel zinc-regulated hippocampal...
The trace elements iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) play important roles in neuronal differentiation, function, and survival. These metals have been implicated in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's, ...
