This paper presents the 12th update of the human obesity gene map, which incorporates
published results up to the end of October 2005. Evidence from single‐gene mutation …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the central nervous system is a major regulator of food

This paper presents the eleventh update of the human obesity gene map, which
incorporates published results up to the end of October 2004. Evidence from single‐gene …

Obesity is one of the main challenges of public health in the 21st century. Obesity can
induce a series of chronic metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension …

Leptin acts centrally via leptin receptor (LepRb)-expressing neurons to regulate food intake,
energy expenditure, and other physiological functions. LepRb neurons are found throughout …

The rapid increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity is becoming an important
health problem. Overweight and obesity may cause several metabolic complications …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of glucocorticoids (GCs) on
appetite and gene expression of the hypothalamic appetite regulatory peptides …

Seeing that galanin increases animal body weight on the conditions of inhibiting insulin
secretion and animals with metabolic disorder of galanin easily suffer from diabetes, we …

Although galanin has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle of rats,
there is no literature available about the effect of galanin on Glucose Transporter 4 (GLUT4) …

Molecular profiling of the hypothalamus in response to metabolic shifts is a critical cue to
better understand the principle of the central control of whole-body energy metabolism. The …
