Considering that these physiological functions pursue diurnal variations, we checked whether the total hypothalamic MCH level depends on the time of the day. The aggregated MCH peptide content of the whole MCH neuron population was significantly higher at the end of the sleeping period (lights on), than at the end of the active period (lights off). This result, together with earlier observations, indicates that in contrast to the MCH gene expression, the level of MCH peptide is object of circadian variation in the hypothalamus.}, year = {2017}, eissn = {1588-256X}, pages = {14-21} } @article{MTMT:3016075, title = {Three-dimensional visualization of the distribution of melanin-concentrating hormone producing neurons in the mouse hypothalamus.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3016075}, author = {Reinitz, László Zoltán and Szoke, B and Varkonyi, EE and Sótonyi, Péter and Jancsik, Veronika}, doi = {10.1016/j.jchemneu.2015.11.009}, journal-iso = {J CHEM NEUROANAT}, journal = {JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL NEUROANATOMY}, volume = {71}, unique-id = {3016075}, issn = {0891-0618}, abstract = {We present here a new procedure to represent the 3D distribution of neuronal cell bodies within the brain, using exclusively softwares free for research purposes. Our technique is based on digitalized photos of brain slices processed by immunohistochemical technique, and the 3D Slicer software. The technique presented enables transposition of immunohistochemical or in situ hybridization data to the stereotaxic mouse brain atlas (e.g. Paxinos, G., Franklin, K.B.J., 2001. The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates. second ed. Academic Press, San Diego). By exporting the finalized models into a popular 3D design software (3DS Max) arbitrary environment and motion simulation can be created to improve the visual understanding of the area studied. Application of this technique provides the possibility to store, analyze and compare data - e.g. on the hypothalamic neuropeptides - across experimental techniques and laboratories. The method is exemplified by visualizing the distribution of immunohistochemically identified melanin-concetrating hormone (MCH) containing perikarya within the mouse hypothalamus.}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1873-6300}, pages = {20-25} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:2560771, title = {3-D reconstruction of the distribution of melanin-concentrating hormone producing neurons in the mouse hypothalamus}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2560771}, author = {Reinitz, László Zoltán and Szőke, B and Gerics, Balázs and Sótonyi, Péter and Jancsik, Veronika}, booktitle = {IBRO Workshop 2014}, unique-id = {2560771}, year = {2014}, pages = {133} } @{MTMT:2528368, title = {Diurnal variation of the melanin-concentrating hormone content of the hypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone neurons}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2528368}, author = {Várkonyi, E É and Szőke, B and Gerics, B and Jancsik, Veronika}, booktitle = {XIV.

In the present work we show that a subset of neurons in the hypothalamus contains a-DB. Comparative immunohistochemical studies with two a-DB antibodies of different specificity indicate that the neurons contain short alpha-DB isoform(s) alpha-DB-2 and/or alpha-DB-4. Immunoreactive multipolar or spindle-shaped neurons form clusters with bilateral symmetry,. localized predominantly in the lateral hypothalamic area, with extensions into the zona incerta and the dorso-medial and ventro-medial hypothalamic region. a-DB immunoreactivity was localized in cell processes and at postsynaptic densities, furthermore in the endoplasmic reticulum within the perikarya. alpha-DB-positive neurons are beta-dystrobrevin immunoreactive,but alpha- and beta-DB; do not co-localize with their usual molecular anchors like dystrophins or high molecular weight forms of utrophin. Colocalization with nNOS was also not observed. The pattern of a-DB immunoreactive neurons gave a perfect colocalization with melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons throughout the whole region studied. We propose that a-DB plays a role in a structure or regulation mechanism unique to MCH-expressing neurons. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.}, year = {2008}, eissn = {1872-6240}, pages = {52-59} }
