Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021 Introduction: Free-living movement (physical activity [PA] and sedentary behavior [SB]) and eating behaviors (energy intake [EI] and food choice) affect energy balance and therefore have the potential to influence weight loss (WL).

Circulating blood eNAMPT drives the circadian rhythms in locomotor activity and energy expenditure
Nature Communications, 2023 Nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) is a critical regulator of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+ levels. Here, the authors show that blood NAMPT contributes to the circadian rhythm generation of locomotor activity and energy ...

Food Intake Regulation in Birds: the Role of Neurotransmitters and Hormones [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2020 BACKGROUND: Neurotransmitters (NTS) are endogenous chemicals secreted from neural terminals into the synaptic cleft of the chemical neurons in order to affect their receptors.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 Although the palatability of sucrose is the primary reason for why it is over consumed, it is not well understood how it is encoded in the nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh), a brain region involved in reward, feeding, and sensory/motor transformations ...

TSPO: an emerging role in appetite for a therapeutically promising biomarker
Open Biology, 2021 There is accumulating evidence that an obesogenic Western diet causes neuroinflammatory damage to the brain, which then promotes further appetitive behaviour. Neuroinflammation has been extensively studied by analysing the translocator protein of 18 kDa (

Enteroendocrine cell lineages that differentially control feeding and gut motility
eLife, 2023 Enteroendocrine cells are specialized sensory cells of the gut-brain axis that are sparsely distributed along the intestinal epithelium. The functions of enteroendocrine cells have classically been inferred by the gut hormones they release.

Sucrose intensity coding and decision-making in rat gustatory cortices
eLife, 2018 Sucrose’s sweet intensity is one attribute contributing to the overconsumption of high-energy palatable foods. However, it is not known how sucrose intensity is encoded and used to make perceptual decisions by neurons in taste-sensitive cortices.
