Appetite is controlled by a complex system of central and peripheral signals interacting to
modulate the ingestion response. Several brain mediators with complex networks adjust …

Ten years and more passed since ghrelin was discovered. Various physiological actions of
ghrelin have been documented in both mammalian and nonmammalian vertebrates. Do …

The present study was designed to examine the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV)
injection of Dopamine (10, 20 and 40 nmol), L-DOPA (dopamine precursor; 62.5, 125 and …

Ghrelin is known to be a feeding stimulatory hormone in mammals, but in birds, in contrast to
mammals, the feeding behavior is regulated in inhibitory manners. This is because the …

Growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1A (GHSR-1A) is a functional receptor of
orexigenic peptide ghrelin and is highly expressed in mesolimbic dopaminergic systems that …

It has been reported that serotonin can modulate glutamate and GABA release in central
nervous system (CNS). The present study was designed to examine the role of …

Accumulating evidence indicates that the brain-gut peptide ghrelin which is expressed in
hippocampus improves memory and learning processes. The MK-801, a noncompetitive …

It has been stated that central injection of ghrelin is acting as an anorexigenic peptide in
chicken. Ghrelin activity was studied through some neuronal pathways. The present study …

The present study was designed to examine the effects of intracerebroventricular injection of
para-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)(cerebral serotonin depletive), fluoxetine (selective …

Feed intake control is vital to ensuring optimal nutrition and achieving full potential for
growth and development in poultry. The aim of the present study was to investigate the …
