Hypothalamic Actions of Neuromedin U (2002)
Journal Article
Wren, A. M., Small, C. J., Abbott, C. R., Jethwa, P. H., Kennedy, A. R., Murphy, K. G., …Bloom, S. R. (2002). Hypothalamic Actions of Neuromedin U. Endocrinology, 143(11), 4227-4234. https://doi.org/10.1210/en.2002-220308

The central nervous system and gut peptide neuromedin U (NMU) inhibits feeding after intracerebroventricular injection. This study explored the hypothalamic actions of NMU on feeding and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. Intraparaventricular nu... Read More about Hypothalamic Actions of Neuromedin U.

Hypothalamic Interactions Between Neuropeptide Y, Agouti-Related Protein, Cocaine- and Amphetamine-Regulated Transcript and Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone In Vitro in Male Rats. Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 14(9), 725-730. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2826.2002.00832.x

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...
