Agouti-related protein (Agrp) encodes a hypothalamic neuropeptide that promotes positive
energy balance by stimulating food intake and reducing energy expenditure. Agrp …

Background Several lines of evidence strongly suggest that agouti-related peptide (AGRP)
plays a key role in the regulation of metabolic function but ablation of the AGRP gene has no …

Energy homeostasis depends on the regulation of hypothalamic neurons by leptin, an
adipocyte hormone whose circulating levels communicate body energy stores. Leptin …
