Abstract:Neuromedin B (NMB) and gastrin‐releasing peptide (GRP) are the two mammalian analogs in the bombesin peptide family that exert a variety of actions including emotional processing, appetitive behaviors, cognition, and tumor growth. The bombesin‐like peptides interact with three receptors: the NMB‐preferring bombesin 1 (BB1) receptors, the GRP‐preferring bombesin 2 (BB2) receptors and the orphan bombesin 3 (BB3) receptors. Whereas, injection of bombesin into the central amygdala reduces satiety and modulates blo… Show more
