    Abstract : Background Obesity is currently one of the major causes of ill health and it is clear that overeatingis the cause of obesity. However, the actions of many endogenous factors that contribute to overeating are still not well understood. READ MORE

  4. 2. Functional Studies of the Neuropeptide Y System : Receptor-Ligand Interaction and Regulation of Food Intake

    Author : Helena Åkerberg; Dan Larhammar; Rickard Malmström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropeptide Y; G-protein coupled receptor GPCR ; site-directed mutagenesis; pancreatic polypeptide; food intake; dog; Pharmacology; Farmakologi;

    Abstract : The members of the mammalian neuropeptide Y family, i.e. the peptides neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP), are all involved in regulation of food intake. In human and most other mammals they act via receptors Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5. READ MORE

  5. 3. The role of genetics in regulation of weight loss and food intake

    Author : Marcus Bandstein; Helgi Schiöth; Jarl Torgerson; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : While obesity is a world leading health problem, the most efficient treatment option for severely obese patients is Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. However, there are large inter-individual differences in weight loss after RYGB surgery. READ MORE

  6. 4. Non-caloric regulation of food intake

    Author : Anica Klockars; Dan Larhammar; Michael Williams; Robert Fredriksson; Karolina Skibicka; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Food intake is shaped by environmental, endocrine, metabolic, and reward-related signals. A change in appetite is an outcome of integration of the relevant external and internal stimuli. While the main purpose of eating is to reverse a negative energy balance, mechanisms protecting homeostasis change appetite for other reasons. READ MORE

  7. 5. Central actions of glucagon-like peptide-1 on food intake and reward: Novel neurological targets and sex divergent effects

    Author : Jennifer E. Richard; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glucagon-like peptide-1; Food reward; Food intake; GLP-1; Sex differences;

    Abstract : Obesity is one of the biggest health risks of our society; however, treatment options are sparse and often result in suboptimal weight-loss. The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP-1R) agonist liraglutide was recently approved for treatment of obesity in the US. READ MORE
