Melanocortins and feeding behavior

open access: yesBiomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2000
The melanocortin (ACTH/MSH) peptides exert a number of central effects. In the eighties, we described for the first time a role for melanocortins in the central control of appetite. We showed that the injection of ACTH-(1-24) into a brain lateral ventricle reduced food intake up to 76.6% in starved rats.

Feeding behavior, obesity, and neuroeconomics [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiology & Behavior, 2008
For the past 50 years, the most prevalent theoretical models for regulation of food intake have been based in the physiological concept of energy homeostasis. However, several authors have noted that the simplest form of homeostasis, stability, does not accurately reflect the actual state of affairs and most notably the recent upward trend in body mass
