AMP-kinase regulates food intake by responding to hormonal and nutrient signals in the hypothalamus

Article Abstract:

The potential of AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK), that acts as a fuel gauge to monitor cellular energy in the hypothalamus, in the regulation of food intake, was studied. The results indicate that the AMOPK activity is inhibited, either in the arcade and paraventricular hypothalamus or in the multiple hypothalamic regions by different factors.

Identification of nesfatin-1 as a satiety molecule in the hypothalamus

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to show that nesfatin, corresponding to NEFA/nucleobindin2 (NUCB2), a secreted protein of unknown function, is expressed in the appetite-control hypothalamic nuclei in rats. Nesfatin-1 was identified as a satiety molecule that is associated with melanocortin signaling in the hypothalamus.
