The hypothalamus controls metabolism and feeding behavior via several signals with other tissues. Exercise and supplements can change hypothalamic signaling pathways, so the present study investigated the influence of eccentric resistance training and β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate free acid supplement on PGC-1α expression, serum irisin, nesfatin-1 and resistin concentrations. Thirty-two male rats (8 weeks old, 200±17 g body mass) were randomized to control (CON), β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate free acid (HMB) supplementation, eccentric resistance training (ERT), and β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate free acid supplementation plus eccentric resistance training (HMB+ERT) groups. Training groups undertook eccentric resistance training (6 weeks, 3 times a week) and supplement groups consumed HMB-FA orally (76 mg/kg/day). Twenty-four hours after the last training session, rats were sacrificed after which serum and triceps brachii muscle were collected and sent to the laboratory for analyses. Two-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation were employed (significant level: P< 0.05). The results showed that eccentric resistance training increases skeletal muscle PGC-1α gene expression, as well as serum levels of irisin and nesfatin-1 (P= 0.001). Eccentric resistance training decreases serum concentration of resistin (P= 0.001). HMB-FA supplement increases skeletal muscle PGC-1α gene expression (P= 0.002), as well as serum concentartion of irisin and nesfatin-1 (P= 0.001). HMB-FA decreases the serum concentration of resistin (P= 0.001). Significant correlations were observed between PGC-1α gene expression and serum concentrations of irisin, nesfatin-1 and resistin. Generally, HMB-FA with eccentric resistance training may induce crosstalk between releasing peptides from other tissues and increases maximal strength. Their combination had a more substantial effect than each intervention in isolation.

2023 JEB Outstanding Paper Prize shortlist and winner
The JEB Editors are delighted to announce the shortlisted authors for the 2023 JEB Outstanding Paper Prize. Read the winning paper - Tiny spies: mosquito antennae are sensitive sensors for eavesdropping on frog calls - by Hoover Pantoja-Sanchez and Brian Leavell from Ximena Bernal's lab at Purdue University, USA.
JEB Science Communication Workshop for ECRs
If you’re an early-career researcher interested in science communication and are attending the SEB Annual Conference in Prague this summer, come a day early and join the JEB Editors at a sci comm workshop to learn the key writing skills needed to promote your research to a broad audience beyond your peers (1 July at 14.30-17.30). Places are limited to 24 attendees, and applicants should apply through the SEB registration page by 30 April 2024.
Bridging the gap between controlled conditions and natural habitats in understanding behaviour
Novel technologies enable behavioural experiments with non-model species, in naturalistic habitats and with underexplored behaviours. In their Commentary, Scholz and colleagues discuss how to obtain a deeper understanding of the natural ecology and lifestyle of study animals.
How a macrourid fish remains buoyant at depths it should be unable to reach
Fish with swimbladders should not be capable of descending below 7200m, but when Alan Jamieson and Todd Bond spotted a macrourid fish at 7259m, they knew they had seen something miraculous. Working with Imantes Priede, they reveal that the swimbladder of a 1 kg fish could hold 37.9 g of oxygen, sufficient to offset the weight of the fish's bones, and take 221-440 days to fill, which is plausible because it takes years for the fish to descend to such depths.
ECR Workshop on Positive Peer Review
Are you an ECR looking for tips on how to write concise, astute and useful manuscript reviews? If so, join the JEB Editors at a 2-hour JEB-sponsored Workshop on Positive Peer Review at the Canadian Society of Zoologists annual meeting in Moncton on 9 May 2024 at 13.00-15.00.
