Neuroscience 152:1015-23. 2008
..We discuss the significance of these data for npEW Ucn1 and BDNF, and propose that altered expressions of Ucn1 and BDNF in the npEW contribute to the pathogenesis of major depression and/or suicidality in a gender-specific manner...

Neuroscience 170:478-88. 2010
..Taken together, our data suggest that CART and nesfatin are involved in the response of npEW neurons to chronic stress...

Neuroscience 183:15-24. 2011
..In particular, we propose that CRF in the PVN plays a major role in the initiation phase, whereas Ucn1 in the npEW may act in the later, termination phase of the adaptation response to APS...

Stress 12:115-24. 2009
..Our results are in line with the hypothesis that both Per2 and Ucn1 in the rat npEW are produced in a diurnal fashion, a phenomenon that may be relevant for the regulation of the diurnal rhythm in the stress response...
- Sex-specific effects of fasting on urocortin 1, cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript peptide and nesfatin-1 expression in the rat Edinger-Westphal nucleus

Neuroscience 162:1141-9. 2009
..The peptide level and mRNA of nesfatin-1 were unaffected by fasting. We conclude that npEW-neurons containing Ucn1, CART and nesfatin-1 co-express ObR, and may be involved in leptin-mediated feeding control in male rats only...
