Depletion of Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Induces Insatiable Appetite and Gains in Energy Reserves and Body Weight in Zebrafish
The functions of anorexigenic neurons secreting proopiomelanocortin (POMC)/alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) of the melanocortin system in the hypothalamus in vertebrates are energy homeostasis, food intake, and body weight regulation. However, the mechanisms remain elusive. This article...
