Member of the Association of American Physicians

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Dopamine
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Receptor, Dopamine and Dopamine receptor D2. His work in Hypothalamus, Arcuate nucleus, Melanocortin, Proopiomelanocortin and Neuropeptide Y receptor are all subfields of Internal medicine research. His studies in Hypothalamus integrate themes in fields like Central melanocortin system and Melanocortins.

His work in Arcuate nucleus covers topics such as Leptin which are related to areas like Appetite. His work carried out in the field of Endocrinology brings together such families of science as Agonist and In situ hybridization. His Dopamine receptor D2 study combines topics in areas such as Substantia nigra and Dopamine receptor.

His most cited work include:

  • Gut hormone PYY3-36 physiologically inhibits food intake (1925 citations)
  • Leptin activates anorexigenic POMC neurons through a neural network in the arcuate nucleus (1835 citations)
  • The Distribution and Mechanism of Action of Ghrelin in the CNS Demonstrates a Novel Hypothalamic Circuit Regulating Energy Homeostasis (1343 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Malcolm J. Low mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Receptor, Dopamine receptor D2 and Dopamine. His work in Proopiomelanocortin, Pituitary gland, Agonist, Knockout mouse and Endogenous opioid is related to Internal medicine. He focuses mostly in the field of Endocrinology, narrowing it down to matters related to Enkephalin and, in some cases, Opioid receptor.

His research integrates issues of Ethanol and Ratón in his study of Receptor. The concepts of his Dopamine receptor D2 study are interwoven with issues in Prolactin cell, Dopamine receptor and Pharmacology. As a member of one scientific family, Malcolm J. Low mostly works in the field of Hypothalamus, focusing on Melanocortin and, on occasion, Energy homeostasis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (68.94%)
  • Endocrinology (68.94%)
  • Receptor (23.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2015)?

  • Internal medicine (68.94%)
  • Endocrinology (68.94%)
  • Proopiomelanocortin (16.77%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Proopiomelanocortin, Agonist and Dopamine receptor D2 are his primary areas of study. His Somatostatin, Neuropeptide Y receptor, Opioid peptide, Neuropeptide and Hypothalamus study are his primary interests in Internal medicine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Leptin and Leptin receptor in addition to Neuropeptide Y receptor.

His Endocrinology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Orexigenic and Knockout mouse. His research on Proopiomelanocortin also deals with topics like

  • Melanocortin 4 receptor which connect with Direct pathway of movement, Retrograde tracing and Central melanocortin system,
  • Brainstem, which have a strong connection to Sensory system, Potassium channel and Glutamate receptor. His Dopamine receptor D2 research includes elements of Dopamine receptor and Pharmacology.

Between 2006 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Cocaine supersensitivity and enhanced motivation for reward in mice lacking dopamine D2 autoreceptors (258 citations)
  • Somatostatin secreted by islet delta-cells fulfills multiple roles as a paracrine regulator of islet function. (206 citations)
  • Ancient Exaptation of a CORE-SINE Retroposon into a Highly Conserved Mammalian Neuronal Enhancer of the Proopiomelanocortin Gene (109 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Dopamine

Malcolm J. Low mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Postsynaptic potential and Agonist. His work is connected to Energy homeostasis, Melanocortin receptor, Proopiomelanocortin, Orexigenic and Ghrelin, as a part of Internal medicine. His research on Endocrinology often connects related topics like STAT3.

His Neuroscience research includes themes of Glutamate receptor, Glutamatergic and Potassium channel. Neuron is closely connected to Dopamine receptor D2 in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Postsynaptic potential. His Agonist study incorporates themes from Internalization and Opioid, Enkephalin.
