Hypothalamic Melanocortin System on Feeding Regulation in Birds: A Review
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2011 Regulation of feed intake in chickens represents a complex homeostatic mechanism involving multiple levels of control. Understanding the regulation of feeding behavior can be a very important theme in animal production.

Scrapie-resistant sheep show certain coat colour characteristics
, 2009 Susceptibility to scrapie is known to be associated with polymorphisms at the prion protein (PrP) gene, and this association is the basis of current selective programmes implemented to control scrapie in many Countries.

The Melanocortin System in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) and Its Role in Appetite Control
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2020 The melanocortin system is a key neuroendocrine network involved in the control of food intake and energy homeostasis in vertebrates. Within the hypothalamus, the system comprises two main distinct neuronal cell populations that express the neuropeptides

The NF‐κB Signalling Pathway: Mechanisms, Consequences and Therapeutic Targets
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 11, June 2026.ABSTRACT Nuclear Factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB) is a master transcriptional regulator orchestrating critical cellular processes, predominantly immunity and inflammation. However, its aberrant constitutive activation has emerged as a unifying pathogenetic hallmark across diverse malignancies, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Agouti-related protein-deficient mice display an age-related lean phenotype
, 2005 SummaryEndogenous modulators of the central melanocortin system, such as the agouti-related protein (AgRP), should hold a pivotal position in the regulation of energy intake and expenditure.

Determinants of body weight regulation in humans
Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2016 Body weight is regulated by the ability of hypothalamic neurons to orchestrate behavioral, endocrine and autonomic responses via afferent and efferent pathways to the brainstem and the periphery.

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Disorders of gonadotropin pulsatility contribute to reproductive dysfunction in humans and are often associated with metabolic dysfunction. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is characterized by chronically insufficient gonadotropin hormone production, leading to reproductive and metabolic impairments, such as infertility and obesity.

Effects of Agouti Related Protein and Androgens on Growth
Journal of Applied Sciences, 2003 A dominant mutation at the agouti locus on mouse chromosome 2 is a promoter of overeating and increased linear growth. Agouti related protein, which can be produced using bacteria can be used to reproduce the same growing effect. Androgens are known to promote leanness and increased growth.
