Neurobiology of Feeding and Energy Expenditure

Abstract

Significant advancements have been made in the past century regarding the neuronal control of feeding behavior and energy expenditure. The effects and mechanisms of action of various peripheral metabolic signals on the brain have become clearer. Molecular and genetic tools for visualizing and manipulating individual components of brain homeostatic systems in combination with neuroanatomical, electrophysiological, behavioral, and pharmacological techniques have begun to elucidate the molecular and neuronal mechanisms of complex feeding behavior and energy expenditure. This review highlights some of these advancements that have led to the current understanding of the brain's involvement in the acute and chronic regulation of energy homeostasis.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Increasing body weight above healthy lean levels results in changes in glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and hormones such as leptin, ghrelin, NPY, orexin, hypocretin, and GLP-1, which regulate appetite and energy homeostasis.

    “Increasing body weight above healthy lean levels results in changes in glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity and hormones, such as leptin, ghrelin, NPY, orexin and hypocretin, [GLP-1] which, in turn, regulate appetite and energy homeostasis”

  • Specific hypothalamic nuclei sense nutrients and modify energy intake and expenditure to maintain a balance, and are responsible for regulating food intake.

    “Specific hypothalamic nuclei, which sense nutrients and modify energy intake and expenditure to maintain a balance, are responsible for regulating this intake ([48](#B48)).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
