Functional interleukin ‐6 receptor‐α is located in tanycytes at the base of the third ventricle
Interleukin (IL)‐6−/− mice develop mature onset obesity, whereas i.c.v. injection of IL‐6 decreases obesity in rodents. Moreover, levels of IL‐6 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were reported to be inversely correlated with obesity in humans. Tanycytes lining the base of the third ventricle (3V) in the hypothalamus have recently been reported to be of importance for metabolism. In the present study, we investigated whether tanycytes could respond to IL‐6 in the CSF. With immunohistochemistry using a well characterised antibody directed against the ligand binding receptor for IL‐6, IL‐6 receptor α (IL‐6Rα), ...

Expression of isotocin is male ‐specifically up‐regulated by gonadal androgen in the medaka brain
Oxytocin, a mammalian neuropeptide primarily synthesised in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus, mediates a variety of physiological and behavioural processes, ranging from parturition and lactation to affiliation and prosociality. Multiple studies in rodents have shown that the expression of the oxytocin gene (Oxt) is stimulated by oestrogen, whereas androgen has no apparent effect. However, this finding is not consistent across all studies, and no study has examined sex steroid regulation of Oxt or its orthologues in other animals. In the present study, we show that, in the teleost fish, medaka ...

Acetylcholine precursor, citicoline (cytidine 5 ’‐diphosphocholine), reduces hypoglycemia‐induced neuronal death in rats
Abstract Citicoline (cytidine 5’‐diphosphocholine) is an important precursor for the synthesis of neuronal plasma membrane phospholipids, mainly phosphatidylcholine. Administration of citicoline serves as a choline donor for the synthesis of acetylcholine. Citicoline has been shown to reduce the neuronal injury in animal models with cerebral ischemia and in clinical trials of stroke patients. Citicoline is currently being investigated in a multicenter clinical trial. However, citicoline has not yet been examined the context of hypoglycemia‐induced neuronal death. To clarify the therapeutic impact of citicoline in hyp...

Three ‐dimensional distribution of tyrosine hydroxylase, vasopressin and oxytocin neurones in the transparent postnatal mouse brain
In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrate the utility and the potency of imaging large brain tissues with clearing procedures coupled to novel 3D imaging technologies to study, localise and quantify neurotransmitter substances involved in brain and neuroendocrine functions.
