A deficient serotonergic system is associated with psychopathological behaviors in various
species, among which, feather pecking (FP) in chickens. Deficiency in the serotonergic …

Undoubtedly, the food intake process is one of the most necessary physiological functions
for the survival of animals and humans. Although; this operation seems simple on the …

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 …

Evidence from animal studies suggests that the opioidergic system and ghrelin have a
regulatory role in food intake, but their interaction (s) have not been studied in laying …

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 …

Endocannabinoids (ECBs) and their receptors play a regulatory function on several
physiological processes such as feed-intake behaviour, mainly in the brain. This study was …

Abstract Aim Dopaminergic, serotoninergic, and GABAergic systems influence feeding;
however, it is unknown how these chemicals interact with neuromedin U (NMU)-induced …

The aim of the current study was to determine the effects of the central dopaminergic system
on N/OFQ-induced feed intake in 3-h feed-deprived neonatal broilers. 2. In experiment 1 …

Serotonin (5-HT) plays an underpinning role in appetite regulation and the opioid system
has a role in the modulation of the ingestion behavior in birds. The current survey was aimed …

Abstract Arginine-phenylalanine-amide (RFamide)-related peptides known as neuropeptide
VF (NPVF) have a crucial role in feeding regulation. The present study purposed to …
