Abstract:Ornithine has been identified as a potential satiety signal in the brains of neonatal
chicks. We hypothesized that brain nutrient signals such as amino acids and
appetite-related neuropeptides synergistically regulate food intake. To test this
hypothesis, we investigated the interaction between neuropeptide Y (NPY) and ornithine in
the control of feeding behavior in chicks and the associated central and peripheral amino
acid metabolic processes. Five-day-old chicks were intracerebroventricularly injected with
