Parent topics
- Appetite [r]: The desire to eat food, experienced as hunger, and in mammals controlled by neural circuits in the hypothalamus. [e]
- Hormone [r]: A chemical director of biological activity that travels through some portion of the body as a messenger. [e]
- Neuroendocrinology [r]: The study of the interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine system. [e]
- Obesity [r]: Excessive stores of body fat. [e]
- Peptide hormone [r]: A class of chemical messengers, secreted into the blood from endocrine cells, that bind to specific receptors expressed on the plasma membrane of target cells. [e]
- Adipose tissue [r]: Connective tissue composed of adipocytes, commonly known as "fat. [e]
- Anterior pituitary [r]: Endocrine gland that secretes hormones to regulate stress, growth, metabolism and reproduction. [e]
- Arcuate nucleus [r]: An aggregation of neurons in the mediobasal hypothalamus with important roles in appetite regulation and in the control of growth hormone secretion and prolactin secretion. [e]
- Growth hormone [r]: A peptide hormone that is made in and secreted from the somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland, and which is essential for regulating post-natal growth in all mammals. [e]
- Hunger [r]: Localized subjective sensation, caused by emptiness and a resulting hypermotility of the stomach. [e]
- Hypothalamus [r]: A part of the mammalian brain located below the thalamus, forming the major portion of the ventral region of the diencephalon. [e]
- Leptin [r]: Hormone secreted by adipocytes that regulates appetite. [e]
