This paper is based on a presentation given at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the
Study of Ingestive Behavior in July 2021 and provides a personal view on some of the …

The pancreatic B-cell hormone amylin is known to be involved in the regulation of meal
ending satiation and it also shares typical features of adiposity signals. Chronic amylin …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Amylin (Amy) is an important glucoregulatory peptide and
AMY receptors are clinical targets for diabetes and obesity. Human (h) AMY receptor …

Amygdala plays a critical role in the regulation of emotional behavior and food intake.
Neuropeptides are short chains of amino acids secreted by neurons as intercellular …

Amylin has been demonstrated to decrease food intake in mice and rats. Amylin is effective
when delivered both peripherally and directly into the central nervous system. Amylin's effect …

Amylin phosphorylates ERK (p-ERK) in the area postrema to reduce eating and synergizes
with leptin to phosphorylate STAT3 in the arcuate (ARC) and ventromedial (VMN) …

Amylin is a 37-amino acid peptide hormone that exerts anorexigenic effects in humans and
animals. We demonstrated that central injection of amylin into chicks affected feeding and …

The ability of amylin to reduce acute food intake in rodents is well established. Longer-term
administration in rats (up to 24 days) shows a concomitant reduction in body weight …

Background: The pancreatic hormone amylin plays a central role in energy homeostasis by
stimulating satiation and reducing food reward, making amylin receptor agonists attractive …

OBJECTIVE: Neurons in the area postrema/nucleus of the solitary tract (AP/NTS) region
mediate amylin's anorectic effect elicited by a single intraperitoneal (ip) injection of a low …
