Mini Review Amylin, Food Intake, and Obesity
REDA, TAREK K., ALLAN GELIEBTER, AND F. XAVIER PI-SUNYER. Amylin, food intake, and obesity. Obes Res. 2002;10:1087–1091.

Amylin seems to decrease food intake through both central and peripheral mechanisms and indirectly by s...
متن کاملAmylin receptor blockade stimulates food intake in rats.
Amylin is postulated to act as a hormonal signal from the pancreas to the brain to inhibit food intake and regulate energy reserves. Amylin potently reduces food intake, body weight, and adiposity when administered systemically or into the brain. Whether selective blockade of endogenous amylin action increases food intake and adiposity remains to be clearly established. In the present study, th...
متن کاملMeasuring food intake in studies of obesity.
The problem of how to measure habitual food intake in studies of obesity remains an enigma in nutritional research. The existence of obesity-specific underreporting was rather controversial until the advent of the doubly labelled water technique gave credence to previously anecdotal evidence that such a bias does in fact exist. This paper reviews a number of issues relevant to interpreting diet...
متن کاملObesity: Hypothalamic Regulation of Food Intake
