The metabolic effect of thyrotropin releasing hormone (trh) and norepinephrine (ne) in warm-acclimated obese rats - biomed 2011.

We have studied the effects of chronic peripheral infusion of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and norepinephrine (NE) alone and together. Do these hormones additively affect energy balance and body weight similarly in obese animals? 20 obese (fa/fa) Zucker strain rats were studied. Food intake, body weight and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were measured over a 14 day period.

The effect of neuropeptide y and norepinepherine on food intake and body weight - biomed 2010.

NPY has been reported to co-exist within catecholaminergic neurons of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The functional significance in noradrenergic neurons has been related to the vasomotor effects of NPY which complement and interact with NE which is known to have central and peripheral effects on resting metabolic rate (RMR), food intake and body weight of rats. We have studied the effect of chronic peripheral administration of NPY on the metabolic action of NE in lean and obese adult male rats.

The synergistic effect of sustained administration of neuropeptide y and norepinephrine on the brown fat metabolic activity in cold acclimated obese rats - biomed 2009.

In previous study, we have reported the effects of chronic peripheral infusion of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and norepinephrine (NE) alone and together on the metabolic activity of the brown adipose tissue (BAT) in warm acclimated studies in genetically obese reflected in the changes in the size of the triglyceride droplets (TGD) of this tissue. Do these hormones have the same effects on cold-acclimated genetically obese animals? Twenty obese (fa/fa) Zucker strain rats were studied. Again, we can confirm that in these animals NE enhanced the metabolic activity of BAT; NPY had an enhancing effect but with lower level than NE.

The effect of npy and norepinephrine on the triglyceride droplets in brown adipose tissue in obese warm acclimated rats.

We have studied the effects of chronic peripheral infusion of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and norepinephrine (NE) alone and together. Do these hormones additively affect the metabolic activity of Brown adipost tissue (BAT in obese animals? 20 obese (fa/fa) Zucker strain rats were studied. The diameter of the triglyceride droplets (TGDs) was measured as an indicator of the BAT metabolic activity.

The effect of TRH and norepinephrine on the triglyceride droplets (TGD) in brown adipose tissue in warm acclimated rats.

We have studied the effects of chronic peripheral infusion of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and norepinephrine (NE) alone and together. Do these hormones additively affect energy balance and body weight similarly in obese animals? 20 obese (fa/fa) Zucker strain rats were studied. Food intake, body weight and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were measured over a 14 day period.

Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) potentiates the metabolic effect of norepinephrine (NE) in warm-acclimated lean and obese rats.

We have studied the effects of chronic peripheral infusion of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and norepinephrine (NE) alone and together. Do these hormones additively affect energy balance and body weight similarly in lean and obese animals? 20 each lean Wistar and obese (fa/fa) Zucker strain rats were studied. Food intake, body weight and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were measured over a 14 day period.
