WE recently reported on an elevation of neurons expressing the main orexigenic peptide
neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus (ARC) of neonatally …

Early postnatal overnutrition is a risk factor for obesity in juvenile and adult life. Underlying
pathophysiological mechanisms are still unclear. Hypothalamic neuropeptides are …

Insulin is a potent modulator of central nervous development and is suggested to influence
the differentiation and maturation of hypothalamic structures involved in the regulation of …

Recent studies in adult and weanling rats show that dietary fat, in close association with
circulating lipids, can stimulate expression of hypothalamic peptides involved in controlling …

Rats exposed to early postnatal overfeeding by rearing in small litters become hyperphagic,
hyperleptinemic, and hyperinsulinemic throughout later life. Medial arcuate neurons are …
