Glucagon and Neuromedin U Suppress Food Intake in Broiler Chicks by Kazuhisa Honda, Takaoki Saneyasu, Mika Okuda, Taku Uemura, Hiroshi Kamisoyama

“…Several peptides show different effects on food intake between broiler and layer chicks. For example, the central administration of β-melanocyte-stimulating hormone decreased food intake in layer chicks but not in broiler chicks. …”

Role of Corticosterone in Lipid Metabolism in Broiler Chick White Adipose Tissue by Kazuhisa Honda, Kiyotaka Kurachi, Shoko Takagi, Takaoki Saneyasu, Hiroshi Kamisoyama

“…Oral administration of corticosterone significantly reduced mRNA levels of LPL and significantly increased the mRNA levels of ATGL in WAT in 29-day-old chicks without affecting plasma NEFA concentrations. …”

Effect of Dietary β-1,4-Mannobiose on the Growth of Growing Broiler Chicks by Masahisa Ibuki, Yu Yoshimoto, Hiroki Yamasaki, Kazuhisa Honda, Kensuke Fukui, Hiroko Yonemoto, Shin Hasegawa, Hiroshi Kamisoyama

“…We investigated the effects of dietary β-1,4-mannobiose (MNB) on the weights of body, breast muscles, thighs, liver, and abdominal adipose tissue in growing broiler chicks to evaluate whether MNB can be used as a feed additive for broiler chicks. …”

Effects of Dietary Brown Rice and Sake Lees on the Growth Performance and Color of Meat in Broiler Chicks by Koki Nishikawa, Karin Miyazaki, Takehiro Hirai, Takaoki Saneyasu, Kazuhisa Honda

“…In this study, we examined whether brown rice and sake lees (domestic feed ingredients) could replace corn and soybean meal (major imported feed ingredients) in broiler chick feed. In Experiment 1, 21-day-old broiler chicks were assigned to two groups and fed a corn-soybean- or a brown rice-soybean-based diet for three weeks (3 birds × 4 replicates/group). …”

Effects of Fasting and Refeeding on the mRNA levels of Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Proteins in Chick Liver and Brain by Shoichi Fujita, Mika Yamaguchi, Daichi Hiramoto, Takaoki Saneyasu, Kazuhisa Honda, Hiroshi Kamisoyama

“…In this study, we examined the effects of short-term (6 h) fasting and refeeding on the mRNA levels of IGFBPs in chick liver and brain. Eighteen 8-day-old chicks were weighed and allocated to three groups on the basis of body weight, and subjected to ad libitum feeding, 6 h of fasting, or 6 h of fasting followed by 6 h of refeeding. …”

Age-Dependent Changes in the mRNA Levels of Neuropeptide Y, Proopiomelanocortin, and Corticotropin-Releasing Factor in the Hypothalamus in Growing Broiler Chicks by Takaoki Saneyasu, Kiwako Nakanishi, Hiroyuki Atsuta, Atsushi Ikura, Hiroshi Kamisoyama, Shin Hasegawa, Kazuhisa Honda

“…However, little is known about the age-dependent change of hypothalamic neuropeptides in chicks. In this study, we investigated the age-dependent changes in hypothalamic mRNA levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY, an orexigenic neuropeptide), proopiomelanocortin (POMC, the precursor of anorexigenic neuropeptides), and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF, a possible mediator in the POMC-induced anorexigenic pathway) in growing broiler chicks. …”

Glucagon-like Peptide-2 Functions as an Anorexigenic Peptide not only in the Central Nervous System but also in the Peripheral Circulation in Broiler Chicks by Kazuhisa Honda, Tomohiko Shimatani, Koji Aoki, Takuya Yamaguchi, Makoto Kondo, Takaoki Saneyasu, Hiroshi Kamisoyama

“…The aim of this study is to investigate whether GLP-2 functions as an anorexigenic peptide in both brain and peripheral circulation in chicks. Intracerebroventricular administration of GLP-2 significantly suppressed food intake in chicks. …”

Periodic and Local LED Light Switching Induces Broiler Locomotion by Shingo Kusuda, Chikamitsu Oshima, Takaoki Saneyasu, Kazuhisa Honda

“…Thirty five-day-old broiler chicks were assigned to two pens (4.72 m × 0.73 m each). …”

Role of Hypothalamic Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad Signaling in Feeding Regulation in Chickens by Takaoki Saneyasu, Miku Ueda, Kanami Nagata, Jiawei Chai, Kazuhisa Honda, Hiroshi Kamisoyama

“…These findings suggest that the activation of hypothalamic TGF-β/Smad signaling suppresses feed intake in chicks but it might not occur in response to feeding status.…”
