Recent pharmacological studies have more precisely characterised the nature of the
inhibitory effect of brain serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) on feeding behaviour. Thus, the …

A review of evidence indicates that experimentally induced changes in the activity of
serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) systems are associated with pronounced changes in …

The proposition that serotonin may be involved in the control of intake of food and the
expression of appetite is less than 10 years old. Indeed, in a 600 page anthology of …

It is approximately 20 years since the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) hypothesis of
appetite control was formally stated. In that time, evidence has accumulated to confirm the …

There is evidence that serotonin inhibits food intake, particularly intake of carbohydrate and
that induced by activation of catecholamine-containing neurons in different brain circuits. An …

This paper reviews the evidence of serotoninergic mechanisms in human feeding by
considering the effects of 5-HT agonists, precursors and receptor antagonists on hunger …

The extent to which dysregulation of serotonin function in the central nervous system may
contribute to core symptoms in patients with bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa is …

Studies of the neuropharmacology of eating behavior demonstrate that monoaminergic
neurotransmitters in the brain have an active and important role in the control of food …

Evidence to date suggests an inhibitory role for serotonin (5-HT) in the regulation of feeding
behavior. In the present study, hypothalamic 5-HT was investigated for its anorexic potency …

Serotonin (5-HT) has been implicated in the control of eating behavior and body weight.
Stimulants of this monoamine reduce food intake and weight gain and increase energy …
