Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Cancer

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Ghrelin, Receptor and Hypothalamus. His research ties In situ hybridization and Internal medicine together. His Endocrinology research is mostly focused on the topic Energy homeostasis.

His Ghrelin research includes themes of Secretagogue, Growth hormone secretion and Peptide hormone. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Receptor, concentrating on Pancreatic islets and frequently concerns with Autocrine signalling and Glucagon. His work carried out in the field of Ghrelin O-acyltransferase brings together such families of science as Growth hormone secretagogue and Leptin.

His most cited work include:

  • Ghrelin is a growth-hormone-releasing acylated peptide from stomach. (6902 citations)
  • A role for ghrelin in the central regulation of feeding. (2950 citations)
  • Narcolepsy in orexin knockout mice: Molecular genetics of sleep regulation (2591 citations)

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

Masamitsu Nakazato mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Ghrelin, Transthyretin and Hypothalamus. His research brings together the fields of Gastroenterology and Internal medicine. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Endocrinology, Lateral hypothalamus is strongly linked to Orexin.

Masamitsu Nakazato studies Ghrelin, focusing on Growth hormone secretagogue receptor in particular. His Transthyretin research includes elements of Amyloid, Polyneuropathy, Late onset and Amyloidosis. Masamitsu Nakazato has included themes like Central nervous system and Vagus nerve in his Hypothalamus study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (65.50%)
  • Endocrinology (52.16%)
  • Ghrelin (27.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (65.50%)
  • Endocrinology (52.16%)
  • Ghrelin (27.52%)

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

Masamitsu Nakazato mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Ghrelin, Gastroenterology and Inflammation. His Internal medicine study which covers Cardiology that intersects with Parkinson's disease. His Endocrinology research incorporates themes from Proinflammatory cytokine and Receptor.

A large part of his Ghrelin studies is devoted to Growth hormone secretagogue receptor. His Gastroenterology course of study focuses on Surgery and Incidence. He combines subjects such as Adipose tissue, Pathogenesis and Skeletal muscle with his study of Inflammation.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • One-day high-fat diet induces inflammation in the nodose ganglion and hypothalamus of mice (75 citations)
  • One-day high-fat diet induces inflammation in the nodose ganglion and hypothalamus of mice (75 citations)
  • The Homeostatic Force of Ghrelin. (67 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Cancer

Masamitsu Nakazato mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Ghrelin, Inflammation and Proinflammatory cytokine. His work in Internal medicine is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Gastroenterology. His study in Endocrinology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Receptor and AMPK.

His research integrates issues of Growth hormone secretion, Homeostasis, Orexigenic, Neuroscience and Energy metabolism in his study of Ghrelin. His Inflammation research incorporates elements of COPD, Canagliflozin, Pathogenesis and Pneumonia. The concepts of his Proinflammatory cytokine study are interwoven with issues in Skeletal muscle, Glycogen, SGLT2 Inhibitor, Adipose tissue and Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter 2.
