Beskrivning
Melanin-Concentrating Hormone: From Metabolism to Sleep Disorders, the latest volume in the Molecular Mediators in Health and Disease series, offers a comprehensive understanding of this multifunctional peptide. The book covers a wide range of topics, including molecular biology of MCH, MCH in organ function, pharmacology, and MCH in disease. Recent developments in MCH imaging and pharmacological modulation are explored, along with the impact of MCH in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders and its role in the neuroimmunological modulation of vitiligo. Additionally, MCH is considered in the context of reproductive behavior, sleep, cognition, memory, and peripheral function.

The book also explores MCH across various species such as humans, reptiles, non-primate mammals and teleosts. This is an ideal reference for researchers working with MCH across the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, pharmacology, neuroscience, endocrinology, and beyond.

  • Examines genetic and molecular aspects of the melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH)
  • Considers MCH in the context of disease, including addiction, neurodegenerative, psychiatric, and eating disorders
  • Explores MCH across various organ function
  • Covers MCH in non-rodent biology

She completed the postdoctoral training in Neuroscience and Neuroendocrinology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. After her postdoctoral training, she returned to Brazil to establish a research program at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Sao Paulo, where she worked for approximately 10 years. In 2006, she returned to the United States for a 1-year sabbatical at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX. She was invited to join the faculty at the Division of Hypothalamic Research. In 2013, she moved to the University of Michigan in Ann Abor, MI. She currently holds the position of Professor in the Departments of Molecular & Integrative Physiology and Obstetrics & Gynecology at University of Michigan. She is the Director of the Neuroscience Graduate Program and the Director of the Michigan Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center (MMPC-Live), a National Center funded by the NIDDK. She is a member of the Latin American Academy of Sciences (ACAL) and a fellow of the American Academy for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS).
