The purpose of this paper is to review our understanding of the involvement of central and
peripheral factors in the control of feed intake in ruminants. The regulation of body weight …

Body fluid conditions are continuously monitored in the brain to regulate thirst and salt-
appetite sensations. Angiotensin II drives both thirst and salt appetite; however, the neural …

The neural regulation of food intake seems to be quite similar in birds and mammals. The
ventromedial hypothalamic syndrome produced by lesions within the mediobasal …

Maternal low protein malnutrition during gestation and lactation (LP) is an animal model
frequently used for the investigation of long-term deleterious consequences of perinatal …

The gut-brain peptide, cholecystokinin (CCK), inhibits food intake when injected either
systemically or within the brain. To determine whether CCK's effect in the brain is …

Cholecystokinin (CCK) increases core body temperature via CCK2 receptors when
administered intracerebroventricularly (icv). The mechanisms of CCK-induced hyperthermia …

The saturable, carrier-mediated system capable of the brain-to-blood transport of small
peptides with an N-terminal tyrosine was characterized. The rate of disappearance of …

We have previously demonstrated the presence of two distinct bombesin receptor subtypes
in the rat CNS and distinguished them as bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide (BBS/GRP) …

The acute effects of a single injection of bombesin (BBS) on feeding behavior and serum
growth hormone (GH) levels in goldfish were examined. When injected intraperitoneally (IP) …

The neuropeptide bombesin (BBS) is examined with regard to possible designation as an
integrative peptide. The term integrative peptide has been proposed to distinguish a subset …
