Optimizing health through education: The Adaptive Health Education on Activity and Diet (<span>AHEAD</span>) program Open
Background Studies have shown that athletes with disabilities (AWDs) are often not provided with injury prevention and health promotion strategies via educational programs. Objective To assess the impact of a novel educational intervention…

Sex Differences in Salt Appetite: Perspectives from Animal Models and Human Studies Open
Salt ingestion by animals and humans has been noted from prehistory. The search for salt is largely driven by a physiological need for sodium. There is a large body of literature on sodium intake in laboratory rats, but the vast majority o…

Faculty Opinions recommendation of Male and female mice show equal variability in food intake across 4-day spans that encompass estrous cycles. Open
The exclusion of female rodents from biomedical research is well documented and persists in large part due to perceptions that ovulatory cycles render female traits more variable than those of males, and females must be tested at each of f…

Faculty Opinions recommendation of Late onset obesity in mice with targeted deletion of potassium inward rectifier Kir7.1 from cells expressing the melanocortin-4 receptor. Open
Energy stores in fat tissue are determined in part by the activity of hypothalamic neurons expressing the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R).Even partial reduction in MC4R expression levels in mice, rats, or humans produces hyperphagia and mor…

Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 in the Brain: Where Is It Coming From, Where Is It Going? Open
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is likely best known by many readers of Diabetes because of the role it plays in insulin secretion. Indeed, GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have become important tools for glycemic control in the treatment …

Faculty Opinions recommendation of Microglia Play an Active Role in Obesity-Associated Cognitive Decline. Open
Obesity affects Ͼ600 million people worldwide, a staggering number that appears to be on the rise.One of the lesser known consequences of obesity is its deleterious effects on cognition, which have been well documented across many cognitiv…

Sex Differences in the Behavioral Desensitization of Water Intake Observed After Repeated Central Injections of Angiotensin II Open
Previous in vivo and in vitro studies demonstrate that the angiotensin type 1 receptor rapidly desensitizes after exposure to angiotensin II (AngII). Behaviorally, this likely underlies the reduced drinking observed after acute repeated ce…

Divergent effects of ERα and ERβ on fluid intake by female rats are not dependent on concomitant changes in AT<sub>1</sub>R expression or body weight Open
Estradiol (E 2 ) decreases both water and saline intakes by female rats. The ERα and ERβ subtypes are expressed in areas of the brain that control fluid intake; however, the role that these receptors play in E 2 's antidipsogenic and antin…

Control of fluid intake by estrogens in the female rat: role of the hypothalamus Open
Body fluid homeostasis is maintained by a complex network of central and peripheral systems that regulate blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte excretion, and fluid intake. The behavioral components, which include well regulated water and …
