Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the possible effects of intracerebroventricular MOTS-c infusion on thyroid hormones and uncoupling proteins (UCPs) in rats. Forty male Wistar Albino rats were divided into 4 groups with 10 animals in each group: control, sham, 10 and 100 µM MOTS-c. Hypothalamus, blood, muscle, adipose tissues samples were collected for thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), UCP1 and UCP3 levels were determined by the RT-PCR and western blot analysis. Serum thyroid hormone levels were determined by the ELISA assays. MOTS-c infusion was found to increase food consumption but it did not cause any changes in the body weight. MOTS-c decreased serum TSH, T3, and T4 hormone levels. On the other hand, it was also found that MOTS-c administration increased UCP1 and UCP3 levels in peripheral tissues. The findings obtained in the study show that central MOTS-c infusion is a directly effective agent in energy metabolism.

期刊介绍：
How can the scientific knowledge we possess now influence that future? That is, the FUTURE of Earth and life − of humankind. Can we make choices in the present to change our future? How can 21st century biological research ask proper scientific questions and find solid answers? Addressing these questions is the main goal of Biologia Futura (formerly Acta Biologica Hungarica).
In keeping with the name, the new mission is to focus on areas of biology where major advances are to be expected, areas of biology with strong inter-disciplinary connection and to provide new avenues for future research in biology. Biologia Futura aims to publish articles from all fields of biology.
