Contrary to the prevailing view, the hormone leptin, which is critical for normal food intake and metabolism, appears to regulate bone mass and suppress appetite by acting mainly through serotonin ...

"This study helps close the circle on the role of the melanocortin pathway and adds the serotonin system to the growing list of metabolic signals – including leptin – that act on the brain's ...

“We found that the microbiome worsens our metabolism by signaling to cells in the gut that produce serotonin,” says Damien Keating, from Australia’s Flinders University, and corresponding ...

Tryptophan is metabolized via three pathways, the kynurenine and serotonin pathways in body cells, and via the indole pathway in gut bacteria. Disrupted tryptophan metabolism has been linked to ...

On Oct. 10, the Schroeder Lab, led by Prof. Frank Schroeder, chemistry and chemical biology, published a study detailing a new class of serotonin-containing compounds and another serotonin pathway ...

In a report scheduled for publication in the June 2023 issue of the Journal of Affective Disorders, researchers explore the association between the gut microbiome and the efficacy of selective ...
