Effect of puerarin on the expression of NMU, NPY, and POMC genes in the hypothalamus

Q. D. Jiang, Li, X. P., Jiang, Q. D., and Li, X. P., Effect of puerarin on the expression of NMU, NPY, and POMC genes in the hypothalamus, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The hypothalamus is an important component of the nervous system, and neuropeptide Y (NPY), proopiomelanocortin (POMC), and neuromedin U (NMU) are key players in physiological regulation. Puerarin is important for nerve regulation. We investigated the effect of puerarin on the expression of NMU, NPY, and POMC genes in the hypothalamus. The results showed that the puerarin low-dose group and the other groups were significantly different (P

The recessive lethal character Luteus-Pa is found in cacao (Theobroma cacao) genotypes of the Parinari series (Pa) and is characterized by expression of leaf chlorosis and seedling death. Several genotypes of the Pa series are bearers of the gene responsible for the expression of the Luteus-Pa character, which can be used as a tool for determining relationships between genotypes of this group.
