Expanding frontiers in weight-control research explored by young investigators

[摘要] At the 93rd annual meeting of the Physiological Society of Japan, a symposium entitled “Expanding frontiers in weight-control research explored by young investigators” was organized. The latest research on weight control was presented by young up-and-coming investigators. The symposium consisted of the following presentations: Gastrointestinal brush cells, immunity, and energy homeostasis; Impact of a brown rice-derived bioactive product on feeding regulation and fuel metabolism; A novel G protein-coupled receptor-regulated neuronal signaling pathway triggers sustained orexigenic effects; and NMDA receptor co-agonist d-serine regulates food preference. These four talks presented at the symposium were summarized as a series of short reviews in this review.
