QRFP-Deficient Mice Are Hypophagic, Lean, Hypoactive and Exhibit Increased Anxiety-Like Behavior. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 How the hypothalamus transmits hunger information to other brain regions to govern whole brain function to orchestrate feeding behavior has remained largely unknown.

Hunger and Satiety Gauge Reward Sensitivity
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017 Many of the neurocircuits and hormones known to underlie the sensations of hunger and satiety also substantially alter the activity of the dopaminergic reward system.

Investigating the role of arcuate nucleus and paraventricular nucleus glucokinase in glucose homeostasis [PDF]
, 2020 The brain is as an important regulator of appetite and metabolism. Glucokinase (GK) is a key component of glucose sensing, and is expressed in many glucose sensitive neurones (Rosario et al., 2016, Pocai et al., 2005b).

Glucose reverses fasting-induced activation in the arcuate nucleus of mice [PDF]
, 2008 The hypothalamic arcuate nucleus is an important target for metabolic and hormonal signals controlling food intake. As demonstrated by c-Fos studies, arcuate neurons are activated in food deprived mice, while refeeding reverses the fasting-induced ...

Prolyl carboxypeptidase in Agouti-related Peptide neurons modulates food intake and body weight
Molecular Metabolism, 2018 Objective: Prolyl carboxypeptidase (PRCP) plays a role in the regulation of energy metabolism by inactivating hypothalamic α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) levels.

Biology of Sex Differences, 2020 Obesity increases sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) in men, but not women. Here, we review current evidence suggesting that sexually dimorphic sympathoexcitatory responses to leptin and insulin may contribute.

Fetal alcohol exposure alters proopiomelanocortin gene expression and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function via increasing MeCP2 expression in the hypothalamus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor gene of the neuropeptide β-endorphin in the hypothalamus and is known to regulate various physiological functions including stress response.
