Reduction in corpora lutea number in obese melanocortin-4-receptor-deficient mice (2009)
Sandrock, Mara, Schulz, Angela, Merkwitz, Claudia, Schöneberg, Torsten, Spanel-Borowski, Katharina, Ricken, Albert
Abstract Obese melanocortin-4-receptor-deficient (MC4R-/-) male mice are reported to have erectile dysfunction, while homozygous MC4R-/- female mice are apparently fertile. A recently established...

Research in autophagy continues to accelerate, and as a result many new scientists are entering the field. Accordingly, it is important to establish a standard set of criteria for monitoring...
Evidence of leptin expression in normal and polycystic human ovaries (2001)
Löffler, Sabine, Aust, Gabriela, Köhler, Uwe, Spanel-Borowski, Katharina
Leptin, the `obese' protein, is found in cultured granulosa cells derived from human pre-ovulatory follicles. However, the occurrence of leptin has not been studied in intact ovaries, either normal...
