Objectives It is hypothesized that novel neuropeptides such as phoenixin (PNX), spexin
(SPX), and kisspeptin (KISS) are involved in the pathogenesis of eating disorders. The study …

Introduction Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic
liver diseases. The development of NAFLD is closely associated with hepatic lipotoxicity …

The process of ischemia/reperfusion (IR) in ischemic stroke often leads to significant cell
death and permanent neuronal damage. Safe and effective treatments are urgently needed …

The recently discovered peptide phoenixin (PNX) and its receptor GPR 173 are novel factors
that exhibit a large spectrum of regulatory activity, especially when considered as a central …
