This study investigates the role of neurosecretory protein GM in energy allocation during sexual maturation in Japanese quail, showing it promotes fat deposition and suppresses gonadal maturation with sex-dependent metabolic effects.

This study performs a trans-ancestry GWAS of SSRI response in depression, finding suggestive associations and enrichment in serotonergic pathways but no genome-wide significant variants.

This study shows that NPGL increases body mass, food intake, and fat accumulation in Japanese quails without affecting other metabolic parameters.

This study examines the association between CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 metabolic phenotypes and antidepressant response using genotype imputation across 13 studies, finding no significant associations after correction for multiple testing.

This study identifies and localizes NPGL and NPGM mRNA expression in the Japanese quail hypothalamus, showing sex-specific and fasting-responsive patterns.
