Neural and hormonal mechanisms regulating food intake.

In this outline of the neural control of food intake, no attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive survey of the literature since there are several symposia and reviews available which summarize the extensive work in this field (Grossman, 1975; Novin et al. 1976; Silverstone, 1976; Morgane & Panksepp, 1980; Hoebel & Novin, 1982). Instead some current concepts of the neural control of foo...

First published June 8, 2011; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00137.2011.—Many animals hoard food, including humans, but despite its pervasiveness, little is known about the physiological mechanisms underlying this appetitive behavior. We summarize...

The Hormonal Control of Food Intake

Numerous circulating peptides and steroids produced in the body influence appetite through their actions on the hypothalamus, the brain stem, and the autonomic nervous system. These hormones come from three major sites-fat cells, the gastrointestinal tract, and the pancreas. In this Review we provide a synthesis of recent evidence concerning the actions of these hormones on food intake.
