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 …

Feeding is an essential behavior for animals to sustain their lives. Over the past several
decades, many neuropeptides that regulate feeding behavior have been identified in …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of intracerebroventricular injection of
metoprolol (a β 1 adrenergic receptor antagonist), ICI 118,551 (a β 2 adrenergic receptor …

Hypothalamus is the most critical center in the brain for regulation of food intake.
Hypothalamus performs this function through special nuclei. The most important of these …

The aim of the current study was to determine the physiological response to feed restriction
in female broiler breeders using a range of conventional and novel indicators. One hundred …

Several mechanisms both inside and outside the central nervous system (CNS) collaborate
to control feeding. The hypothalamus received food-related messages from different regions …

Ghrelin, one of the most important appetite regulating peptides, is involved in the regulation
of energy homeostasis. The anorexia effect of ghrelin in chickens is contrary to that of ghrelin …

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 …

The present study was conducted to investigate whether brain somatostatin increases feed
intake in neonatal chickens. The mediating role of neuropeptide Y receptors on feed intake …

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 …
