THE HYPOTHALAMIC RFAMIDE, QRFP, INCREASES FEEDING AND LOCOMOTOR ACTIVITY: THE ROLE OF GPR103 AND OREXIN RECEPTORS.

The hypothalamic RFamide, QRFP, increases feeding and locomotor activity: The role of Gpr103 and orexin receptors.

Here we show that central administration of pyroglutamylated arginine-phenylamine-amide peptide (QRFP/26RFa) increases both food intake and locomotor activity, without any significant effect on energy expenditure, thermogenesis or reward.Germline knock out of either of the mouse QRFP receptor orthologs, Permanent Gpr103a and Gpr103b, did not produc

Symbiotic Modulation as a Driver of Niche Expansion of Coastal Plants in the San Juan Archipelago of Washington State

Modern evolutionary theory and population genetics posit that adaptation and habitat expansion of plants result from processes exclusive to their genomes.Here, we present studies showing that plants can grow across complex habitat gradients by modulating symbiotic associations with Class 2 fungal endophytes.Endophyte analysis of three native (Leymu
