Weight Gain Associated with Cinnarizine

1992

OBJECTIVE: To report four cases of cinnarizine-induced weight gain. DATA SOURCES: Case reports from a local obesity center and review articles. DATA EXTRACTION: Data were abstracted from spontaneous comments made by patients to one of the authors, who was a doctor at the clinic, and reviewed by the remaining authors. DATA SYNTHESIS: We reviewed the cases of four women, aged 50–57 years without endocrine or metabolic pathologies, that showed weight gain associated with the intake of cinnarizine for one to two years. No other drugs usually were administered during the period in which the women gained weight, although in two cases cinnarizine was associated with dihydroergocristine in the same…

Role of polysialic acid (PSA) in the control of food intake and body weight

2013

Hypothalamus plays a major role in the regulation of energy homeostasis by the presence of neural circuits controlling food intake. These circuits are plastic and can be rewired during adulthood. We hypothesized that synaptic plasticity can occur during physiological conditions. We have shown that synaptic contact on hypothalamic anorexigen POMC neurons are rewired in mouse upon high fat diet (HFD). This synaptic process is mandatory to adjust energy intake and requires the glycan PSA (polysialic acid). PSA promotes synaptic plasticity in the brain by the weakening of cell-to-cell interaction by addition on NCAM (neural cell adhesion molecule). We hypothesized that a defect in brain synapti…

Mechanisms of protein expression in the rat optic nerve: Modifications by alcohol exposure

2005

espanolObjetivos: Nuestros trabajos previos han demostrado que el consumo abusivo de etanol durante la gestacion induce retraso en el desarrollo y alteraciones estructurales en los ojos y en la vision (Pinazo-Duran et al., Teratology ’93; Eur J Ophthalmol ’97; Stromland and Pinazo-Duran, Teratology ’94; Alcohol Alcoholism ’02). Nos proponemos estudiar a un nivel celular y molecular si el etanol modifica la expresion de proteinas marcadoras del desarrollo glial durante los estadios pre- y postnatal de la rata, que puedan contribuir a la dismorfogenesis del nervio optico. Metodo: Para estudiar las acciones del etanol sobre el desarrollo del nervio optico de ratas sometidas a un proceso de alc…

Der Einfluss aliment�rer Acidosen und Alkalosen auf die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit und die Eiweissausnutzung der Ratte

1958

Die Erzeugung einer alimentaren Acidose mit 200 mAq NH4Cl/kg Futter bei wachsenden Ratten fuhrt bei Mannchen und Weibchen zu einer schlechteren Protein-Efficiency, aber nur bei den Mannchen zu einer geringeren Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit. Eine mit NaHCO3 in analoger Weise induzierte alimentare Alkalose hat weder bei den Mannchen noch bei den Weibchen einen sicheren Einflus auf die Protein-Efficiency und auf die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit.

Impact of Oral Microbiota on Flavor Perception: From Food Processing to In-Mouth Metabolization.

2021

International audience; Flavor perception during food intake is one of the main drivers of food acceptability and consumption. Recent studies have pointed to the oral microbiota as an important factor modulating flavor perception. This review introduces general characteristics of the oral microbiota, factors potentially influencing its composition, as well as known relationships between oral microbiota and chemosensory perception. We also review diverse evidenced mechanisms enabling the modulation of chemosensory perception by the microbiota. They include modulation of the chemosensory receptors activation by microbial metabolites but also modification of receptors expression. Specific enzy…

Hand feeding: a method to increase the survival rate ofOrthetrum coerulescens(Odonata: Libellulidae) in outdoor enclosures

2014

Food intake rate and diet composition have a high impact on all organisms and affect individual fitness, fecundity and mortality. Specimens in enclosures have to be fed in an adequate way and with minimum stress for the specimens. Adult dragonflies are flying hunters. In enclosures, they are usually fed by adding different kinds of adult dipterans. In this study, I additionally fed specimens of Orthetrum coerulescens by hand. Each specimen received one house fly or up to six fruit flies per day. This was less than an adult dragonfly would normally consume; however, this additional hand feeding was enough to significantly increase the survival rate of individuals, especially within the first…

Insulin differently modulates hypothalamic mitochondrial energy metabolism in fed or fasted mice: Involvement in food intake regulation?

2008

0195-6663 doi: DOI: 10.1016/j.appet.2008.04.119; In hypothalamus, mitochondria have been demonstrated to be involved in nutrients sensing but little is known concerning a mitochondrial insulin effect. The aim of our studywas thus to determine, in mice, whether (i) insulin may modulate mitochondrial functions and (ii) this effect varies according to metabolic state. O2 consumption, measured by oxygraphy in fresh hypothalamus explants was similar in fed and fasted mice on glutamate whereas it was lower in fasted mice on succinate. Whatever the metabolic state of the mice, insulin (3 nM) increased O2 consumption with glutamate. By contrast, insulin increased O2 consumption with succinate only …
