Selective serotonin receptor stimulation of the medial nucleus accumbens causes differential effects on food intake and locomotion.

29 Sep 2009 Substantial evidence suggests that pharmacological manipulations of neural serotonin pathways influence ingestive behaviors. Despite the known role of the nucleus accumbens in directing appetitive and consummatory behavior, there has been little ... Read more...

Endocannabinoids mediate anxiolytic-like effect of acetaminophen via CB1 receptors.

2 Jul 2009 Acetaminophen (Paracetamol), a most commonly used antipyretic/analgesic agent, is metabolized to AM404 (N-arachidonoylphenolamine) that inhibits uptake and degradation of anandamide which is reported to mediate the analgesic action of acetaminophen ... Read more...

The anorectic effect of neuropeptide AF is associated with satiety-related hypothalamic nuclei.

29 Jun 2009 Neuropeptide AF (NPAF), a member of the RFamide family, is encoded by the same gene as neuropeptide FF (NPFF), which causes short-term anorexia. However, reports on the role of NPAF on appetite-related process are lacking. Thus, i.c.v. injections of ... Read more...
