TLDR
It is demonstrated that PACAP reduces food intake after intracerebroventricular injection in food-deprived mice, and this decrease in food intake is, in part, compensated for by an increase in other behaviors.About:

Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide and Its Receptors: From Structure to Functions
TL;DR: The current knowledge concerning the multiple actions of PACAP in the central nervous system and in various peripheral organs including the endocrine glands, the airways, and the cardiovascular and immune systems are reviewed, as well as the different effects ofPACAP on a number of tumor cell types.

Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and function of the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (pacap)/glucagon superfamily
TL;DR: The pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) regulates metabolism and the cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems, although the physiological event(s) that coordinates PACAP responses remains to be identified.

TL;DR: A novel neuropeptide which stimulates adenylate cyclase in rat anterior pituitary cell cultures was isolated from ovine hypothalamic tissues and increased release of growth hormone, prolactin, corticotropin and luteinizing hormone from superfused rat pituitaries at as small a dose as 10(-10)M) or 10(-9)M (LH).
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropeptide y and human pancreatic polypeptide stimulate feeding behavior in rats
TL;DR: Findings imply that neuropeptide Y, or a closely related pancreatic polypeptides-like neuropePTide, plays an important role in neural regulation of feeding behavior.

Neuropeptide Y: stimulation of feeding and drinking by injection into the paraventricular nucleus.
Stanley Bg,Sarah F. Leibowitz +1 more
TL;DR: An important role is suggested for hypothalamic NPY, or a structurally-related peptide, in the regulation of feeding and drinking behavior in satiated, brain-cannulated rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropeptide Regulation of Appetite and Weight
TL;DR: The role of peptides as modulators of feeding behavior and weight regulation is focused on and peptides synthesized and released in the central nervous system and act as neurotransmitters are studied.
