The human genome encodes 40 voltage-gated K+ channels (KV), which are involved in
diverse physiological processes ranging from repolarization of neuronal and cardiac action …

This paper presents the 12th update of the human obesity gene map, which incorporates
published results up to the end of October 2005. Evidence from single‐gene mutation …

The field of mitochondrial ion channels has recently seen substantial progress, including the
molecular identification of some of the channels. An integrative approach using genetics …

Recently published work and emerging research efforts have suggested that the olfactory
system is intimately linked with the endocrine systems that regulate or modify energy …

Olfactory inputs help coordinate food appreciation and selection, but their role in systemic
physiology and energy balance is poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that mice upon …

The absorption of glucose is electrogenic in the small intestinal epithelium. The major route
for the transport of dietary glucose from intestinal lumen into enterocytes is the Na+/glucose …

Electrophysiological and pharmacological studies coupled with molecular identification
have revealed a unique network of ion channels—Kv1. 3, KCa3. 1, CRAC (Orai1+ Stim1) …

The role of insulin pathways in olfaction is of significant interest with the widespread
pathology of diabetes mellitus and its associated metabolic and neuronal comorbidities. The …

Background: Caloric restriction is recommended for the treatment of obesity, but it is
generally characterized by large interindividual variability in responses. The factors affecting …

This paper presents the eleventh update of the human obesity gene map, which
incorporates published results up to the end of October 2004. Evidence from single‐gene …
