Amylin is a peptide co-secreted with insulin that penetrates into the brain, and produces
satiation-like effects via actions in the brainstem, hypothalamus, and mesencephalon. Little …

Amylin acts in the CNS to reduce feeding and body weight. Recently, the ventral tegmental
area (VTA), a mesolimbic nucleus important for food intake and reward, was identified as a …

Amylin, a calcitonin gene-related peptide-like peptide coreleased with insulin, exerts
anorexic effects on central administration. Because previous studies revealed dense amylin …

Amylin is a calcitonin-related peptide co-secreted with insulin, which produces satiety
through brainstem-localized receptors; however, its effects in forebrain are poorly …

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 …

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 …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …
