Core Areas of Research Investigation

• Melanogenesis & Epidermal Pigmentation: Investigating the activation pathways of melanocortin 1 receptors (MC1R) to stimulate melanin synthesis in basal melanocytes without requiring UV radiation.

• Neuromodulation of Erectile Function: Evaluating the central nervous system mechanisms and neural pathways—mediated primarily via MC4R activation—that trigger and sustain the erectile response in animal models.

• Appetite Regulation & Energy Homeostasis: Examining how central melanocortin receptor stimulation influences feeding behavior, energy expenditure, and the modulation of satiety signals in metabolic disease research.

• Cardiovascular and Hemodynamic Responses: Assessing transient changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and regional vascular resistance following central administration of cyclic melanocortin agonists.

• Thermogenesis and Lipid Metabolism: Studying how MC4R and MC3R interactions alter metabolic rate, systemic heat production, and fatty acid oxidation dynamics in insulin-resistant models.
