Obesity and Appetite Control
Obesity is one of the major challenges to human health worldwide; however, there are currently no effective pharmacological interventions for obesity. Recent studies have improved our understanding of energy homeostasis by identifying sophisticated neurohumoral networks which convey signals between the brain and gut in order to control food intake. The hypothalamus is a key region which possess...
متن کاملNetwork of hypothalamic neurons that control appetite
The central nervous system (CNS) controls food intake and energy expenditure via tight coordinations between multiple neuronal populations. Specifically, two distinct neuronal populations exist in the arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus (ARH): the anorexigenic (appetite-suppressing) pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons and the orexigenic (appetite-increasing) neuropeptide Y (NPY)/agouti-related pept...
متن کاملNeural Control of Hunger, Appetite, and Satiety **
Hunger, appetite, and satiety are often regarded as problems in the physiology of digestion. In recent years, however, they have been studied more and more commonly as functions of the brain. This latter point of view, i.e., neurophysiology, is used in the paper which follows, and the regulation of food intake is here described in terms of mechanisms and reactions that characterize the nervous ...
