Modulatory role of serotonin on feeding behavior

Abstract: The appearance, the odor, and the flavor of foods, all send messages to the encephalic area of the brain. The hypothalamus, in particular, plays a key role in the mechanisms that control the feeding behavior. These signals modulate the expression and the action of anorexigenic or orexigenic substances that influence feeding behavior. The serotonergic system of neurotransmission consists of neurons that produce and liberate serotonin as well as the serotonin-specific receptor. It has been proven that some serot… Show more

“…Plasma Trp : LNAA ratio has been shown to be a major determinant of brain 5-HT concentration (Fernstrom and Wurtman, 1972), which has been reported to be involved in the regulation of feeding behaviour (Magalhaes et al, 2010). For instance, it has been demonstrated that food-seeking and food-taking behaviours are usually reduced in non-human primates with increased brain 5-HT turnover (Foltin, 2001).…”

“…Some worm strains exhibit social feeding, which involves avoidance of noxious chemical stimuli in a process requiring the TRP channels, OCR-2 and OSM-9 (de Bono et al 2002). Additionally, OCR-2 impacts on the biosynthesis of serotonin (Sokolchik et al 2005; Zhang et al 2004)—a neurotransmitter with conserved roles in regulating feeding behavior (Magalhaes et al 2010; Neckameyer 2010; Sze et al 2000). OCR-2 also functions in a small subset of peripheral sensory neurons in C. elegans larvae that mediate the detection of nutrient availability and neuropeptide release (Lee and Ashrafi 2008).…”

“…Variations in genes related to serotonin availability and its mechanism of action might influence food intake behavior, increasing the susceptibility of some individuals to obesity [5,6]. Among these genes, the solute carrier family 6 member 14 (SLC6A14) gene plays a key role in the bioavailability of this neurotransmitter because it regulates the availability of tryptophan for serotonin synthesis and thus can affect the control of appetite and mood [7].…”
