Hypothalamic AgRP neurons regulate the hyperphagia of lactation

Molecular Metabolism
The lactational period is associated with profound hyperphagia to accommodate the energy demands of nursing. These changes are important for the long-term metabolic health of the mother and children as altered feeding during lactation increases the risk of mothers and offspring developing metabolic disorders later in life.

Action of Neurotransmitter: A Key to Unlock the AgRP Neuron Feeding Circuit

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
The current obesity epidemic and lack of efficient therapeutics demand a clear understanding of the mechanism underlying body weight regulation. Despite intensive research focus on obesity pathogenesis, an effective therapeutic strategy to treat and cure

Nutritive, Post-ingestive Signals Are the Primary Regulators of AgRP Neuron Activity

Cell Reports, 2017
Summary: The brain regulates food intake by processing sensory cues and peripheral physiological signals, but the neural basis of this integration remains unclear.

Chemogenetic engagement of different GPCR signaling pathways segregates the orexigenic activity from the control of whole-body glucose metabolism by AGRP neurons

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: The control of energy balance involves neural circuits in the central nervous system, including AGRP neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC).

RESTING PLASMA AgRP LEVELS RESPONSE TO EXERCISE-CONJUGATED DIET AND ONLY DIET IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE SEDENTARY FEMALES

Biology of Sport, 2012
Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) is an orexigenic neuropeptide produced mainly in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus, which leads to positive energy balance.

FTO promotes weight gain via altering Kif1a splicing and axonal vesicle trafficking in AgRP neurons

The EMBO Journal
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an abundant chemical RNA modification involved in the regulation of many biological processes. The m6A demethylase FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated protein) is known to affect body weight, but its systemic context and ...

Effect of endurance training on plasma levels of AGRP and HOMA-IR in diabetic rats

Turkish Journal of Kinesiology, 2017
The hypothalamus is a strong central controller of appetite that secretes different neuropeptides including AGRP. Plasma levels of AGRP are effective in controlling obesity and hunger.

AgRP neurons shape the sperm small RNA payload

Scientific Reports
Abstract Paternal dietary patterns and obesity can affect offspring through epigenetic signals in sperm RNA. By activating hypothalamic Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons in mice to simulate obesity’s effects, we observed changes in the small noncoding RNA payload of sperm.

Microglia are required for developmental specification of AgRP innervation in the hypothalamus of offspring exposed to maternal high-fat diet during lactation

eLife
Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus respond to multiple metabolic signals and distribute neuroendocrine information to other brain regions such as the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), which plays a ...
