The acute loss of taste and smell following COVID-19 are hallmark symptoms that affect 20–
85% of patients. However, the pathophysiology and potential treatments of COVID-19 smell …

Recently published work and emerging research efforts have suggested that the olfactory
system is intimately linked with the endocrine systems that regulate or modify energy …

Currently, 65% of Americans are overweight, which leads to well-supported cardiovascular
and cognitive declines. Little, however, is known concerning obesity's impact on sensory …

Evolutionarily, olfaction is one of the oldest senses and pivotal for an individual's health and
survival. The olfactory bulb (OB), as the first olfactory relay station in the brain, is known to …

Projection neurons (PNs) in the mammalian olfactory bulb (OB) receive input from the nose
and project to diverse cortical and subcortical areas. Morphological and physiological …

The olfactory system is at the crossroad between sensory processing and metabolic
sensing. In addition to being the center of detection and identification of food odors, it is a …

Olfactory perception guides daily decisions regarding food consumption, social interactions,
and predator avoidance in all mammalian species. Volatile inputs, comprising odorants and …

The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) plays important roles in the regulation of food intake
and energy metabolism. Peripheral or central GLP-1 suppresses food intake and reduces …

Obesity is an epidemic, calling for innovative and reliable pharmacological strategies. Here,
we show that ShK-186, a selective and potent blocker of the voltage-gated Kv1. 3 channel …

Aim Leptin is an important peptide hormone that regulates food intake and plays a crucial
role in modulating olfactory function. Although a few previous studies have investigated the …
