It is often the first sensory modality to perceive changes in the external environment, before sight, taste or sound. Odour molecules activate olfactory sensory neurons that reside on the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity, which transmits this odour-specific information to the olfactory bulb (OB), where it is relayed to higher brain regions involved in olfactory perception and behaviour. Besides odour processing, recent studies suggest that the OB extends its function into the regulation of food intake and energy balance. Furthermore, numerous hormone receptors associated with appetite and metabolism are expressed within the OB, suggesting a neuroendocrine role outside the hypothalamus. Olfactory cues are important to promote food preparatory behaviours and consumption, such as enhancing appetite and salivation. In addition, altered metabolism or energy state (fasting, satiety and overnutrition) can change olfactory processing and perception. Similarly, various animal models and human pathologies indicate a strong link between olfactory impairment and metabolic dysfunction. Therefore, understanding the nature of this reciprocal relationship is critical to understand how olfactory or metabolic disorders arise. This present review elaborates on the connection between olfaction, feeding behaviour and metabolism and will shed light on the neuroendocrine role of the OB as an interface between the external and internal environments. Elucidating the specific mechanisms by which olfactory signals are integrated and translated into metabolic responses holds promise for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies and interventions aimed at modulating appetite and promoting metabolic health.</p>","PeriodicalId":16535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuroendocrinology","volume":"36 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jne.13382","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140101758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additional CVOs include the organum vasculosum laminae terminalis (OVLT) and the subfornical organs (SFO). Previous studies have demonstrated that the ME contains neural stem cells (NSCs) capable of generating new neurons and glia in the adult brain. However, it remains unclear whether the OVLT and SFO also contain proliferating cells, the identity of these cells, and their ability to differentiate into mature neurons. Here we show that glial and mural subtypes exhibit NSC characteristics, expressing the endogenous mitotic maker Ki67, and incorporating the exogenous mitotic marker BrdU in the OVLT and SFO of adult rats. Glial cells constitutively proliferating in the SFO comprise NG2 glia, while in the OVLT, both NG2 glia and tanycytes appear to constitute the NSC pool. Furthermore, pericytes, which are mural cells associated with capillaries, also contribute to the pool of cells constitutively proliferating in the OVLT and SFO of adult rats. In addition to these glial and mural cells, a fraction of NSCs containing proliferation markers Ki67 and BrdU also expresses the early postmitotic neuronal marker doublecortin, suggesting that these CVOs comprise newborn neurons. Notably, these neurons can differentiate and express the mature neuronal marker NeuN.

Between these two markers of the start and end of the reproductive lifespan, it is clear that these pathways underlie many of the aspects of the hypothalamic regulation of reproduction which had hitherto been enigmatic. In this review, we describe the data currently available from studies designed to elucidate the roles of kisspeptin and neurokinin B in human ovarian function, specifically the regulation of follicle development leading up to ovulation, and in the control of the mid-cycle GnRH/LH surge that triggers ovulation. These studies, undertaken with only very limited pharmacological tools, provide evidence that the neurokinin B pathway is important in controlling the hypothalamic contribution to the precise gonadotropic drive to the ovary that is necessary for mono-ovulation, whereas the switch from negative to positive estrogenic feedback results in kisspeptin-mediated increased GnRH secretion.

PNA and development induce changes in spontaneous GnRH neuron firing rate, response to synaptic input, and the afterhyperpolarization potential of the action potential. We hypothesized potassium currents are altered by PNA treatment and/or development. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were made of transient and residual potassium currents of GnRH neurons in brain slices from 3-week-old and adult control and PNA females. At 3 weeks of age, PNA treatment increased transient current density versus controls. Development and PNA altered voltage-dependent activation and inactivation of the transient current. In controls, transient current activation and inactivation were depolarized at 3 weeks of age versus in adulthood. In GnRH neurons from 3-week-old mice, transient current activation and inactivation were more depolarized in control than PNA mice. Development and PNA treatment interacted to shift the time-dependence of inactivation and recovery from inactivation. Notably, in cells from adult PNA females, recovery was prolonged compared to all other groups. Activation of the residual current occurred at more depolarized membrane potentials in 3-week-old than adult controls. PNA depolarized activation of the residual current in adults. These findings demonstrate the properties of GnRH neuron potassium currents change during typical development, potentially contributing to puberty, and further suggest PNA treatment may both alter some typical developmental changes and induce additional modifications, which together may underlie aspects of the PNA phenotype.

Most birds captured in early spring had regressed gonads and low levels of circulating gonadal steroids, indicating these birds were not yet in full breeding condition. However, these early spring birds still had a significantly larger Area X than winter birds, while HVC did not differ in size across groups. Using data from a previously published seasonal study of black-capped chickadees (Phillmore et al., Developmental Neurobiology, 2015;75:203-216), we then compared Area X and HVC volumes from our early spring group to a breeding group of chickadees captured 3-4 weeks later in the spring. While Area X volume did not differ between the studies, breeding males in Phillmore et al. (2015) had a significantly larger HVC. Taken together, this suggests that the vernal growth of Area X occurs ahead of HVC in black-capped chickadees, and that the overall vernal changes in the vocal control system occur at least partially in advance of the breeding-associated upregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.</p>","PeriodicalId":16535,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuroendocrinology","volume":" ","pages":"e13375"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139912851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to estabish a sensitive and accurate method for the quantification of tryptophan pathway metabolites in plasma. We further aimed to evaluate its utility as a clinical tool in NET disease. We obtained plasma samples from NET patients and healthy controls recruited from the University Hospital of North Norway, Tromsø.

In the SI-NET group, 26/72 patients presented with symptoms of carcinoid syndrome (CS). We found that combining tryptophan metabolites into a serotonin/kynurenine pathway ratio improved diagnostic sensitivity (92.3%) and specificity (100%) in detecting CS patients from healthy controls compared with plasma 5-HIAA alone (sensitivity 84.6%/specificity 100%). Further, a clinical marker based on the combination of plasma serotonin, 5-HIAA, and 5OH-tryptophan, increased diagnostic capacity identifying NET patients with metastasized disease from healthy controls compared with singular plasma 5-HIAA, serotonin, or CgA.

Approximately half of the women diagnosed with PCOS also experience metabolic syndrome; common features including obesity, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Although a large amount of clinical and preclinical evidence has confirmed this relationship between androgens and the reproductive and metabolic features of PCOS, the mechanisms by which androgens cause this dysregulation are unknown. Neuron-specific androgen receptor knockout alleviates some PCOS-like features in a peripubertal dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mouse model, but the specific neuronal populations mediating these effects are undefined. A candidate population is the agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons, which are important for both reproductive and metabolic function. We used a well-characterised peripubertal androgenized mouse model and Cre-loxP transgenics to investigate whether deleting androgen receptors specifically from AgRP neurons can alleviate the induced reproductive and metabolic dysregulation.
