- The central role of melatonin receptors on food intake, energy balance and leptin pathway, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Many hormones and neurotransmitters regulate feeding behavior. Leptin is in the spotlight since mutations in the genes encoding this hormone or its receptor resulted in severe obesity. Melatonin (Mel) is involved in the regulation of energy balance and its administration reduces food intake, body weight and abdominal fat in rodent models. In vitro, rhythmic Mel treatment synchronizes lept…
