PMCH Antibody

1. MCH is an anabolic neuropeptide with multiple and diverse physiological functions including a key role in energy homoeostasis; evidence suggests that, in the reproductive context, MCH is a modulator rather than a primary regulator. PMID: 23884861
2. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels were measured in 33 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 33 healthy subjects, to investigate the role of MCH and HCRT-1 in AD. PMID: 23667582
3. the changes in the levels of two hypothalamic neuropeptides, hypocretin-1 and melanin-concentrating hormone, measured in the human amygdala, are reported. PMID: 23462990
4. Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons of human hypothalamus, as well as the MCH neurons of mouse hypothalamus, contain IL-6Ralpha. PMID: 22295972
5. PMCH mRNA expression level was increased 1.85 times (P < 0.01) in vitiligo uninvolved skin and 5.36 times (P < 0.01) in involved skin compared to healthy control skin. PMID: 20888736
6. Melanin-concentrating hormone is expressed and functional in human skin PMID: 12176038
7. RT-PCR analysis revealed a low expression of prepro-MCH and MCH receptor 1 (MCHR1) but not of MCHR2 transcript in tissular and peripheral blood immune cells PMID: 12220661
8. Review. Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic neuropeptide, which centrally regulates food intake and stress. MCH-R1 antagonists can probe additional functions of the peptide, both in the brain and in the peripheral nervous system. PMID: 12885269
9. Serum levels could serve as useful peripheral markers of changes in energy homeostasis. PMID: 15546902
10. hMCH increased water intake independent of food intake. It significantly increased both sucrose solution and food intake. PMID: 15870910
11. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in pro-melanin-concentrating hormone may be associated with obesity and a greater body mass index in olanzapine-treated schizophrenic patients PMID: 17541984
12. expression of PMCH by activated Th2 cells in vivo may directly link allergic inflammation to energy homeostasis and may contribute to the association between asthma and obesity PMID: 17640905
13. The total number of hypocretin-1 neurons was significantly reduced by 30% in HD brains (P = 0.015), while the total number of MCH neurons was not significantly altered (P = 0.100). PMID: 18498421
14. MCH has a role in inflammatory processes in the intestine PMID: 18650383
