The intake-and body weight-suppressive hormone amylin exerts effects on energy balance
control at a variety of nuclei within the brain, including sites that have been referred to in the …

Amylin is a pancreas-derived neuropeptide that acts in the central nervous system (CNS) to
reduce food intake. Much of the literature describing the anorectic effects of amylin are …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? We tested whether intra‐nucleus
accumbens core amylin receptor (AmyR) activation suppresses feeding and evaluated …

Amylin is secreted by pancreatic beta-cells and is believed to be a physiological signal of
satiation. Amylin's effect on eating has been shown to be mediated via a direct action at the …

Background The pancreatic-and brain-derived hormone amylin promotes negative energy
balance and is receiving increasing attention as a promising obesity therapeutic. However …

Amylin is a 37-amino acid peptide hormone that is co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic B
cells in response to food intake. Exogenous amylin potently and dosedependently reduces …

The ability of amylin, a pancreatic β-cell-derived neuropeptide, to promote negative energy
balance has been ascribed to neural activation at the area postrema. However, despite …

Amylin is produced in the pancreas and the brain, and acts centrally to reduce feeding and
body weight. Recent data show that amylin can act in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to …

The pancreatic B-cell hormone amylin has been proposed to be both a satiation signal and
an adiposity signal. The effects of peripheral amylin on energy balance are well …

Amylin is an important player in the control of nutrient fluxes. Amylin reduces eating via a
meal size effect by promoting meal-ending satiation. This effect seems to depend on a direct …
