Parent topics
- Appetite [r]: The desire to eat food, experienced as hunger, and in mammals controlled by neural circuits in the hypothalamus. [e]
- Hormone [r]: A chemical director of biological activity that travels through some portion of the body as a messenger. [e]
- Neuroendocrinology [r]: The study of the interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine system. [e]
- Obesity [r]: Excessive stores of body fat. [e]
- Peptide hormone [r]: A class of chemical messengers, secreted into the blood from endocrine cells, that bind to specific receptors expressed on the plasma membrane of target cells. [e]
- Adipose tissue [r]: Connective tissue composed of adipocytes, commonly known as "fat. [e]
- Anterior pituitary [r]: Endocrine gland that secretes hormones to regulate stress, growth, metabolism and reproduction. [e]
- Arcuate nucleus [r]: An aggregation of neurons in the mediobasal hypothalamus with important roles in appetite regulation and in the control of growth hormone secretion and prolactin secretion. [e]
- Growth hormone [r]: A peptide hormone that is made in and secreted from the somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland, and which is essential for regulating post-natal growth in all mammals. [e]
- Hunger [r]: Localized subjective sensation, caused by emptiness and a resulting hypermotility of the stomach. [e]
- Hypothalamus [r]: A part of the mammalian brain located below the thalamus, forming the major portion of the ventral region of the diencephalon. [e]
- Leptin [r]: Hormone secreted by adipocytes that regulates appetite. [e]
- Glucostatic theory of appetite control [r]: The theory that changes in blood glucose concentrations or arteriovenous glucose differences are detected by glucoreceptors that affect energy intake. [e]
- Melanocortins and appetite [r]: The regulation of food intake through neuropeptides related to adrenocorticotropic hormone. [e]
- Stress and appetite [r]: The interactions between the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and the regulation of food intake. [e]
- Food reward [r]: The brain mechanisms involved in reinforcing feeding behaviour. [e]
- Gut-brain signalling [r]: The interaction between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain. [e]
- Diabesity [r]: A term referring to the intricate relationship between type 2 diabetes and obesity. [e]
- Bariatric surgery [r]: The surgical removal of body fat. [e]
- Drug treatments for obesity [r]: Treatments of obesity that are based on drugs. [e]
- Exercise and body weight [r]: Correlation between physical activity and the body mass index. [e]
- Health consequences of obesity [r]: Long-term effects of obesity on health. [e]
- Opioid receptor [r]: G-protein coupled receptors located in the brain and various organs that bind opiates or opioid substances as ligands. [e]
- Neuropeptide [r]: Peptides released by neurons as intercellular messengers. [e]
- Neuroendocrinology [r]: The study of the interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine system. [e]
