Leptin receptor-deficient (knockout) zebrafish: Effects on nutrient acquisition
Del Vecchio, Gianmarco; Murashita, Koji; Verri, Tiziano; Gomes, Ana Cristina Da Silva; Rønnestad, Ivar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In mammals, knockout of LEPR results in a hyperphagic, morbid obese, and diabetic phenotype, which supports that leptin plays an important role in the control of appetite and energy metabolism, and that its receptor, LEPR, ... -
The peptide transporter 1a of the zebrafish Danio rerio, an emerging model in nutrigenomics and nutrition research: Molecular characterization, functional properties, and expression analysis
Vacca, Francesca; Barca, Amilcare; Gomes, Ana S.; Mazzei, Aurora; Piccinni, Barbara; Cinquetti, Raffaella; Del Vecchio, Gianmarco; Romano, Alessandro; Rønnestad, Ivar; Bossi, Elena; Verri, Tiziano (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-19)Background: Peptide transporter 1 (PepT1, alias Slc15a1) mediates the uptake of dietary di/tripeptides in all vertebrates. However, in teleost fish, more than one PepT1-type transporter might function, due to specific whole ...
