A Case of Acute Psychosis in an Adolescent Male by Ghufran Babar, Ramin Alemzadeh

“…Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disorder of calcium homeostasis. We report the case of a 17-year-old adolescent male, who presented with an acute psychosis coinciding with severe hypercalcemia and markedly elevated intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level and low vitamin D level. …”

The hypothalamus as the central regulator of energy balance and its impact on current and future obesity treatments by Bruna Bombassaro, Eliana P. Araujo, Licio A. Velloso

“…The signals then proceed to third- and fourth-order neurons that activate complex responses aimed at maintaining whole-body energy homeostasis. During the last 30 years, since the identification of leptin in 1994, there has been a great advance in the unveiling of the hypothalamic and extra-hypothalamic neuronal networks that control energy balance. …”

Neuroprotection Caused by Hyperoxia Preconditioning in Animal Stroke Models by Mohammad Reza Bigdeli

“…Neuroprotection induced by HO exhibits specific adaptation responses that involve a number of cellular and biochemical alterations, including metabolic homeostasis and reprogramming of gene expression. The changes in the metabolic pathways are generally short lived and reversible, while the consequences of gene expression are a long-term process and may lead to the permanent alteration in the pattern of gene expression. …”

Role of Zinc Signaling in the Regulation of Mast Cell-, Basophil-, and T Cell-Mediated Allergic Responses by Keigo Nishida, Ryota Uchida

“…Its deficiency causes growth retardation, immunodeficiency, and neuronal degeneration. Zinc homeostasis is tightly regulated by zinc transporters and metallothioneins that control zinc concentration and its distribution in individual cells and contributes to zinc signaling. …”

Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor delta and liver diseases by Tomoo Yamazaki, Edward E. Cable, Bernd Schnabl

“…Unlike PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma, PPAR-delta is ubiquitously expressed, and its activity is key to maintaining proper metabolic homeostasis within the liver. PPAR-delta not only regulates physiologic processes of lipid, glucose, and bile acid metabolism but also attenuates pathologic responses to alcohol metabolism, inflammation, fibrosis, and carcinogenesis, and is considered an important therapeutic target in liver diseases. …”

Association of p53 with Neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s Disease by Qiang Luo, Wei Sun, Yi-Fan Wang, Ji Li, Da-Wei Li

“…p53 is a vital transcriptional protein implicated in regulating diverse cellular processes, including cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, mitochondrial metabolism, redox homeostasis, autophagy, senescence, and apoptosis. Recent studies have revealed that p53 levels and activity are substantially increased in affected neurons in cellular and animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD) as well as in the brains of PD patients. p53 activation in response to neurodegenerative stress is closely associated with the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, abnormal protein aggregation, and impairment of autophagy, and these pathogenic events have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. …”

Drosophila melanogaster as an alternative animal model in fat metabolism studies by Dilan de Silva, Mangala Gunatilake

“…It is discovered that Drosophila accommodates a range of cell types and organs which entail lipid metabolism and related energy homeostasis similar to those of mammals. Fat storage in Drosophila occurs in the form of lipid droplets carrying cholesterol and triacylglycerol which are accumulated primarily in the fat body – the analogous Drosophila organ to mammalian adipose tissue. …”
