Prokineticin 2 is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that potently inhibits food intake (2009)
Journal Article
Gardiner, J. V., Bataveljic, A., Patel, N. A., Bewick, G. A., Roy, D., Campbell, D., …Dhillo, W. S. (2010). Prokineticin 2 is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that potently inhibits food intake. Diabetes, 59(2), 397-406. https://doi.org/10.2337/db09-1198

OBJECTIVE-Prokineticin 2 (PK2) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide expressed in central nervous system areas known to be involved in food intake. We therefore hypothesized that PK2 plays a role in energy homeostasis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - We inves...

Innervation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons by peptidergic neurons conveying circadian or energy balance information in the mouse (2009)
Journal Article
Ward, D. R., Dear, F. M., Ward, I. A., Anderson, S. I., Spergel, D. J., Smith, P. A., & Ebling, F. J. (2009). Innervation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons by peptidergic neurons conveying circadian or energy balance information in the mouse. PLoS ONE, 4(4), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0005322

Background: Secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) produced in neurons in the basal forebrain is the primary regulator of reproductive maturation and function in mammals. Peptidergic signals relating to circadian timing and energy balance...

The role of histamine 3 receptors in the control of food intake in a seasonal model of obesity: The Siberian hamster (2009)
Journal Article
Jethwa, P. H., Barrett, P., Turnbull, Y., Enright, R. A., Warner, A., Murphy, M., & Ebling, F. J. (2009). The role of histamine 3 receptors in the control of food intake in a seasonal model of obesity: The Siberian hamster. Behavioural Pharmacology, 20(2), 155-165. https://doi.org/10.1097/FBP.0b013e32832a8099

Siberian hamsters develop hypophagia and increase catabolism of fat reserves in response to short photoperiods resulting in a natural loss of body weight in winter. We previously found that histamine 3 receptor (H3R) mRNA in the posterior hypothalamu...
