Nociceptin or orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and its receptor NOP1 are expressed in hypothalamic nuclei involved in energy homeostasis. N/OFQ administered by intracerebroventricular or arcuate nucleus (ARC) injection increases food intake in satiated rats. The...

Galanin-Like Peptide Stimulates the Release of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone in Vitro and May Mediate the Effects of Leptin on the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis (2004)
Journal Article
Seth, A., Stanley, S., Jethwa, P., Gardiner, J., Ghatei, M., & Bloom, S. (2004). Galanin-Like Peptide Stimulates the Release of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone in Vitro and May Mediate the Effects of Leptin on the Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis. Endocrinology, 145(2), 743-750. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2003-0873

Leptin regulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis in relation to nutritional status. The mechanism through which leptin mediates its effects on neuroendocrine reproductive circuits remains unclear. Galanin-like peptide (GALP) is a recently iden...

Paraventricular nucleus administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibits food intake and stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (2003)
Journal Article
Dhillo, W. S., Small, C. J., Jethwa, P. H., Russell, S. H., Gardiner, J. V., Bewick, G. A., …Bloom, S. R. (2003). Paraventricular nucleus administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibits food intake and stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. Endocrinology, 144(4), 1420-1425. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2002-220902

Calcitonin gene-related protein (CGRP) inhibits food intake and stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis after intracerebroventricular injection in rats. However, the hypothalamic site and mechanism of action are unknown. We investigat...

α-Melanocyte-stimulating-hormone (α-MSH) is an agonist at the melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3-R) and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4-R). α-MSH stimulates corticosterone release from rat adrenal glomerulosa cells in vitro. Agouti-related protein (AgRP) an e... Read More about Agouti-related protein has an inhibitory paracrine role in the rat adrenal gland.

A number of neuropeptides implicated in the hypothalamic regulation of appetite are synthesized in the arcuate nucleus (Arc). Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (Agrp) are orexigenic. The pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) product alpha-melanoc...
