The gut signals to AGRP-expressing cells of the pituitary to control glucose homeostasis
Glucose homeostasis can be improved after bariatric surgery, which alters bile flow and stimulates gut hormone secretion, particularly FGF15/19. FGFR1 expression in AGRP-expressing cells is required for bile acids’ ability to improve glucose control.

Effects of AgRP inhibition on energy balance and metabolism in rodent models. [PDF]
Activation of brain melanocortin-4 receptors (MC4-R) by α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) or inhibition by agouti-related protein (AgRP) regulates food intake and energy expenditure and can modulate neuroendocrine responses to changes in energy ...

Dynamic GABAergic afferent modulation of AgRP neurons [PDF]
Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) promote homeostatic feeding at times of caloric insufficiency, yet they are rapidly suppressed by food-related sensory cues before ingestion. Here we identify a highly selective inhibitory afferent to AgRP neurons that serves as a neural determinant of this rapid ...

AgRP-deficiency could lead to increased lifespan [PDF]
The Agouti-related protein (AgRP) is a central orexigenic peptide leading to increased food intake when ubiquitously overexpressed. AgRP-deficient (AgRP(-/-)) mice have either no phenotype or present an age-related leanness. In this study, AgRP(-/-) mice were fed alternate high fat or low fat diets in an effort to determine whether AgRP is a mediating ...

Hypothalamic mTORC1 signaling is involved in nutrient sensing. Neurons that express the agouti-related protein (AgRP) are activated by food restriction and integrate interoceptive and exteroceptive signals to control food intake, energy expenditure, and ...

Reanalysis of Evidence for/against AGRP in Korean
This article deals with the controversial issue of AgrP in Korean within the Minimalist Program. Some linguists maintain that there is AgrP in Korean, while others not. In this article I review the evidence for and against the existence of AgrP in Korean,

AgRP in energy balance: Will the real AgRP please stand up? [PDF]
The neuropeptide AgRP promotes food intake and weight gain by antagonizing signaling at melanocortin 3 and 4 receptors in the brain, but the limited phenotype of mice lacking AgRP raised questions about its importance. Four recent studies addressed this by creating mice in which AgRP neurons, which also express NPY and GABA, are ablated postnatally ...

PDK1-Foxo1 in agouti-related peptide neurons regulates energy homeostasis by modulating food intake and energy expenditure. [PDF]
Insulin and leptin intracellular signaling pathways converge and act synergistically on the hypothalamic phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase/3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1).
