Journal ArticleDOI

Increased maternal nutrition alters development of the appetite-regulating network in the brain

TL;DR: Exposure to increased nutrition before birth alters the responses of the central appetite regulatory system to signals of increased adiposity after birth, suggesting that increased maternal nutrition alters development of the appetite‐regulating network in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early origins of obesity: programming the appetite regulatory system.

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes recent work on the expression and localization of the "appetite regulatory" peptides in the fetal rodent and sheep hypothalamus and their potential role in the early programming of postnatal appetite and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Daily patterns of plasma leptin in sheep: effects of photoperiod and food intake

TL;DR: Circulating concentrations of leptin in sheep correlate with body fatness and are affected by level of food intake and photoperiod, but there was no evidence for a circadian rhythm of plasma leptin, but clear evidence for post-prandial peaks of low amplitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoperiodic regulation of leptin sensitivity in the Siberian hamster, Phodopus sungorus, is reflected in arcuate nucleus SOCS-3 (suppressor of cytokine signaling) gene expression.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the development of leptin resistance in LD-acclimated hamsters involves SOCS3-mediated suppression of leptin signaling in the arcuate nucleus, suggesting that the photoperiod is able to trigger the biannual reversible switch in leptin sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypothalamic gene expression in sheep for cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript, pro-opiomelanocortin, neuropeptide Y, agouti-related peptide and leptin receptor and responses to negative energy balance.

TL;DR: Changes in gene expression in the ovine hypothalamus are consistent with responses to the observed reduction in circulation leptin and suggest that the peripheral feedback and central mechanisms for restoring the energy balance may be largely conserved across monogastric and ruminant species.
