Overview

Herbert Herzog is affiliated with the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia. Their research primarily focuses on the fields of Neuroscience and Medicine, with an emphasis on several key subfields including Endocrine and Autonomic Systems, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Physiology, Nutrition and Dietetics, and Molecular Biology.

Their work addresses a range of topics related to the regulation of appetite, obesity, and neuropeptides in animal physiology. Other significant research areas include biochemical analysis and sensing techniques, adipose tissue and metabolism, pancreatic function and diabetes, sleep and wakefulness research, and receptor mechanisms and signaling.

Herbert Herzog's recent publications include the following papers:

  • "A Vagal-NTS Neural Pathway that Stimulates Feeding" (2020) published in Current Biology
  • "Sex-specific changes in metabolism during the transition from chow to high-fat diet feeding are abolished in response to dieting in C57BL/6J mice" (2022) published in International Journal of Obesity
  • "Peptide YY: A Paneth cell antimicrobial peptide that maintains Candida gut commensalism" (2023) published in Science
  • "XBP1 maintains beta cell identity, represses beta-to-alpha cell transdifferentiation and protects against diabetic beta cell failure during metabolic stress in mice" (2022) published in Diabetologia
  • "Peripheral-specific Y1 receptor antagonism increases thermogenesis and protects against diet-induced obesity" (2021) published in Nature Communications

Frequent co-authors working alongside Herbert Herzog include:

  • Lei Zhang
  • Chi Kin Ip
  • Ronaldo F. Enriquez
