Regulation of appetite to treat obesity

Abstract: Obesity has escalated into a pandemic over the past few decades. In turn, research efforts have sought to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of energy balance. A host of endogenous mediators regulate appetite and metabolism, and thereby control both short- and long-term energy balance. These mediators, which include gut, pancreatic and adipose neuropeptides, have been targeted in the development of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy, with the goal of amplifying anorexigenic and lipolytic si… Show more

“…GLP-1R is also expressed in neurons projecting both into and out of areas of the central nervous system, which are critical to energy balance regulation (Larhammar, 1996; Hahn et al, 1998; Inui, 1999; Chaudhri et al, 2006; Egan and Margolskee, 2008). Increased GLP-1 levels result into an anorexigenic effect with a significant appetite reduction for the subsequent meal (Furuse et al, 1997; Kim et al, 2011). …”

“…The preproghrelin gene is derived by post-translational processing, originating from endocrine cells in the stomach, and peptides include acyl ghrelin, des-acyl ghrelin and obestatin [27]. Some authors have demonstrated the expression of preproghrelin mRNA in the various human tissues, e.g.…”

“…This effect could be explained by several effects of GLP-1 on the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as by its direct influence on taste receptors [84] and its hypothalamic action with increases in the action of anorectic neurons [85] . Incretins have a key role in the entero-insular axis to control the appetite and metabolism [1] .…”
