Hypothalamic regulation of appetite

Expert Review of Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2008
The prevalence of obesity is steadily rising and has huge health and financial implications for society. Weight gain is due to an imbalance between dietary intake and energy expenditure and research has focused on trying to understand the complex pathways involved in controlling these aspects.

Orexins and appetite regulation

Neuropeptides, 2002
Initial research on the functional significance of two novel hypothalamic neuropeptides, orexin-A and orexin-B, suggested an important role in appetite regulation. Since then, however, these peptides have also been shown to influence a wide range of other physiological and behavioural processes.

Appetite regulation

Postgraduate Medicine, 1985
PreviewAlthough most scientific research on the mechanisms involved in appetite regulation has been done in animals, cautious application to humans of at least some study results may be valid. Drs Morley and Levine, respected authorities in the field of endocrinology, walk the reader through the sometimes-complex findings and discuss some practical ...

Robust modeling of appetite regulation

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2011
The interaction between appetite activation and the energy content of the brain and the body is mathematically modeled. General influence functions with saturation are used to describe the interaction. The resulting class of models is investigated with respect to the circadian periodicity of human food intake. We show that very weak and physiologically

Appetite Regulation by Gut Peptides

Annual Review of Nutrition, 1990
A number of gastrointestinal hormones that are released from the gut in response to intraluminal food stuffs have been shown to play a role in producing satiety. Some of these hormones apparently activate ascending vagal fibers that send messages to the nucleus tractus solitarius, and perhaps from there messages are sent to the paraventricular nucleus ...

Appetite regulation and energy balance

Acta Paediatrica, 2005
AbstractThe decision to begin eating or to stop eating is a complex process. Hunger is primarily driven by hunger signals, like ghrelin and neuropeptide Y, originating from the gastrointestinal tract and from the hypothalamus. The hunger signals stimulate the seeking of food and the eating, being activating for the body and mind.

Gut hormones and appetite regulation

Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity
Purpose of review Various gut hormones interact with the brain through delicate communication, thereby influencing appetite and subsequent changes in body weight. This review summarizes the effects of gut hormones on appetite, with a focus on recent research. Recent findings Ghrelin
