Protein responsible for regulating feeding behaviour in the brain identified.

The molecular intricacies of hunger and satiety, pivotal for understanding metabolic disorders and the problem of obesity, are not yet fully understood by scientists.  How much a person eats and weighs is regulated by a complex circuit regulated by the brain, and in order to understand it, researchers need to identify all the molecules involved.  Now, a study from researchers at The Rockefeller University has … Continue reading Protein responsible for regulating feeding behaviour in the brain identified.
