Objective The prevalence of obesity has increased over the past three decades.
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) play a …

Abstract Objective Hypothalamic arcuate proopiomelanocortin (Arc-POMC) neurons are
involved in different physiological processes such as the regulation of energy balance …

Hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons constitute a critical anorexigenic node
in the central nervous system (CNS) for maintaining energy balance. These neurons directly …

Aims/hypothesis Central pro-opiomelanocortin (Pomc) gene therapy ameliorates genetic-or
age-related obesity. We hypothesised that this treatment would delay or prevent dietary …

There is evidence suggesting that the GABA system in the arcuate nucleus, where
orexigenic neuropeptide Y and agouti-related peptide as well as anorexigenic …

Coordinated detection of changes in metabolic state by the nervous system is fundamental
for survival. Hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons play a critical role in …

Objective Obesity is one of the primary healthcare challenges of the 21st century. Signals
relaying information regarding energy needs are integrated within the brain to influence …

The activation of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in different regions of the brain,
including the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) and the nucleus of the solitary …

The melanocortinergic system plays an important role in promoting negative energy balance
and preventing excessive fat deposition. This study has investigated the levels of mRNA …

Pro‐opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are identified in two brain sites, the arcuate nucleus
of the hypothalamus and nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) in brainstem. Earlier …
