Abstract

The hormones insulin and leptin have been proposed to act in the central nervous system (CNS) as adiposity signals as part of a theoretical negative feedback loop that senses the caloric stores of an animal and orchestrates adjustments in energy balance and food intake. Much research has provided support for both the existence of such a feedback loop and the specific roles that insulin and leptin may play. Most studies have focused on hypothalamic sites, which historically are implicated in the regulation of energy balance, and on the brain stem, which is a target for neural and humoral signals relating to ingestive acts. More recent lines of research, including studies from our lab, suggest that in addition to these CNS sites, brain reward circuitry may be a target for insulin and leptin action. These studies are reviewed together here with the goals of providing a historical overview of the findings that have substantiated the originally hypothesized negative feedback model and of opening up new lines of investigation that will build on these findings and allow further refinement of the model of adiposity signal/CNS feedback loop. The understanding of how motivational circuitry and its endocrine or neuroendocrine modulation contributes to normal energy balance regulation should expand possibilities for future therapeutic approaches to obesity and may lead to important insights into mental illnesses such as substance abuse or eating disorders.

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.
