Identifying potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of obesity relies on fully understanding these pathways and peptides. Relationship between the brainstem, hypothalamus, cortical areas ...

The challenge ahead will be to try and discern how the complex pathways and neuropeptides within the hypothalamus interact to affect appetite. In addition to discovering new peptides that ...

The growth hormone-releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6) has gained considerable interest in scientific research due to its distinct ...

In addition, it becomes possible to build models of enhancer-promoter functional associations and analyze the regulatory mechanisms of individual genes. In this work, this method was applied to a ...

Ghrelin is, moreover, found, at very low levels, in the brain; 4 it has been found in the hypothalamic arcuate ... the release of these OREXIGENIC PEPTIDES. Analysis using reverse transcriptase ...

In mammals, synthesis and secretion of FSH and LH by gonadotrope cells are controlled by the hypothalamic peptide, GnRH. As FSH and LH are made in the same cells in mammals, variation in the nature of ...

We are examining how exercise not only increases energy expenditure but also reduces food intake. These experiments focus on the regulation of peptide gene expression in hypothalamic systems involved ...

Existing research suggests the arcuate nucleus (Arc) of the hypothalamus is a critical center for appetite regulation ... are activated by short peptide chains. This distinction may refine ...
