Abstract:Satietin, a 50,000 dalton anorectic glycoprotein was isolated from human serum. Its isoelectric point is 7.0. It contains 14-15% amino acids and 70-75% carbohydrates. Its biological activity survives digestion with proteases and boiling. Satietin is a highly potent anorectic substance. The intracerebroventricular administration of 10-20 micrograms satietin suppresses food intake in rats during the first day of feeding after deprivation of food for 96 hours to half of the amount eaten by untreated controls (ID5… Show more
“…Independent of the route of ad ministration, the peak effect was reached within 1 hr, and the inhibition of food intake lasted over 24 hr (74,84,85).…”

“…As the essential mechanism of action of an anorectic compound, i.e. whether it acts via feeding or satiety, can be resolved by analyzing the substance-induced changes in the micro structure of eating, the effect of satietin in comparison to amphetamine and fenfluramine was studied in this respect (74,89).…”

“…With the aid of TCA most of the higher molecular weight proteins and peptides that accompany satietin in the ultrafiltrate could be percipitated. The isolation procedure was then followed by two steps of gelchromatography (using Sephadex G 15 and Bio-Gel P-2 columns), continued with affinity chromatography on Con-A-Sepharose column, and finished by a last desalting step on Bio-Gel P-2 column (68)(69)(70)(71)(72)(73)(74).…”

Hypothermia and other persisting disturbances in thermoregulation among weight‐recovered anorexia nervosa patients are reviewed. Possible neurobiological mechanisms that might explain these clinical features are presented along with evidence supporting the hypothesis that an increase in nonshivering thermogenesis and an underlying autonomic nervous system imbalance may contribute to the persistence of certain abnormal thermo‐regulatory responses to cold in anorectics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
