Selected neurons of the hypothalamus are equipped with molecules specialized in sensing
the energy status of the organism. Upon activation or inhibition by central and systemic …

Childhood obesity leads to hippocampal atrophy and altered cognition. However, the
molecular mechanisms underlying these impairments are poorly understood. The …

The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is abundantly expressed in gastrointestinal mucosa
and participates in the regulation of feeding by affecting hormone secretion. Studies have …

Easy access to palatable food and an abundance of food‐related cues exacerbate non‐
homeostatic feeding. The metabolic and economical sequelae of non‐homeostatic feeding …

As the principal means of acquiring nutrients, feeding behavior is indispensable to the
survival and well-being of animals. In response to energy or nutrient deficits, animals seek …

The hypothalamus plays a critical role in the control of food consumption and energy
expenditure. Fatty diets can elicit an inflammatory response in specific hypothalamic cells …

Introduction Oleoylethanolamide (OEA), an endogenous N-acylethanolamine acting as a gut-
to-brain signal to control food intake and metabolism, has been attracting attention as a …

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a widespread, metabo-psychiatric disorder with high relapse rates,
comorbidity, and mortality. Many regulatory proteins and neurohormones studied to date …

Energy balance is complex and regulated by neuroendocrine homeostatic mechanisms
(primarily the leptin melanocortin pathway) and non-homeostatic mechanisms (such as …

This study aimed to investigate the role of the psychological impact of environments rich in
palatable foods on three aspects of eating behavior: cognitive restraint (CR), uncontrolled …
