...Yahong Zhang; Tsung-Huang Tsai; Michael Ezrokhi; Carl Stoelzel; Anthony H. Cincotta Introduction: The supramammillary nucleus (SuMN) exerts influences on a wide range of brain functions including feeding and feeding-independent fuel metabolism. However, which specific neuronal type(s) within...

...). Methods: We investigated the relationship between RLN3/RXFP3 signaling and feeding behavior across the female rat estrous cycle. We used in situ hybridization to investigate expression patterns of Rln3 mRNA in NI and Rxfp3 mRNA in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), lateral hypothalamic area...

...Eva Tavares; Francisco J. Miñano Recent evidence suggests that the free amino-terminal fragment of procalcitonin (N-PCT) plays a role in the central control of feeding behavior and energy homeostasis. However, little is known about the mechanisms through which N-PCT works. Here we report...

... in the ventromedial arcuate nucleus and which may play a role in NPY-induced feeding. Release of NPY, and possible coexisting messengers, may be controlled by presynaptic Y2-R expressed in NPY neurons. Taken together, the findings support the division of Y1-Rs and Y2-Rs into post- and presynaptic receptors...

...-fed (HIGHs) or underfed (LOWs) and used immunocytochemistry and image analysis to measure the levels of GAL and NPY in hypothalamic nuclei in which GnRH, GHRH and SRIH are found and which are also involved in the regulation of appetite and feeding. The sheep were given a normal diet or a restricted...

...David Feifel; Franco J. Vaccarino; Jean Rivier; Wylie W. Vale We have previously reported that the somatotropin regulatory peptides, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GRF) and somatostatin (SS) increase feeding when applied centrally in low picomole-range doses. The similarity between the dose...

... by naloxone. Dynorphin was as potent as leumorphin in inducing feeding, whereas α-neo-endorphin and Leu-enkephalin had no significant activity when 6 nmol was used. General activity measured by an Automex was enhanced by i.c.v. injection of leumorphin but required larger amounts of the peptide than did...

...Martin Kavaliers; Maurice Hirst; Andrew Mathers Intracerebroventricular administration of 0.01–1.0 µg of the peptide FMRFamide (Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2) to mice reduced morphine-induced feeding. Administration of FMRFamide also inhibited feeding induced by a 24-hour period of food deprivation...

... weeks after surgery; however, some rats showed evidence of dissociation of these two rhythmic functions in that some lesions appeared to affect one and not the other. In ancillary studies, it was found that all lesioned groups showed nocturnal feeding patterns similar to those of the controls...

This review describes the main inflammatory cytokines that influence food intake and explores how peripheral cytokines communicate with hypothalamic nuclei to influence feeding. 7 9 2007 © 2007 S...

... detailed analysis demonstrated that the lack of a hyperglycemic rebound was due to an acute inhibition of feeding specifically in the A y mouse, which resulted not from the hypoglycemia stressor, but rather from the stress of isolation. Handling and intraperitoneal administration of saline also...

... that the arcuatoparaventricular NPY projection targets the TRH neurons preferentially via the Y1R, whereas the NPYergic regulation of corticotropinergic and magnocellular neurons may be relayed through other subtypes of NPY receptors. This study further defines the link between NPY-induced feeding and the hypothalamus-pituitary...
