Additionally, neuropeptide Y-induced feeding appears to be inhibited in this tumor anorexia model, and this may correlate with increased expression of corticotropin-releasing hormone.
The orexigenic neuropeptides are neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP) and the anorexic neuropeptides are alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) and cocaine and amphetamine-related transcript (CART).
EA treatment at CV12 reduced the levels of plasma monoamine neurotransmitters 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, dopamine, and norepinephrine; as well as stimulated the expression of GHRL and NPY to alleviate cisplatin-induced anorexia in rats.
We selected three human cancer cell lines [human melanoma (SEKI), human melanoma (G361), and human neuroepithelioma (NAGAI)] that have an ability to develop cancer cachexia syndrome with and without accompanying anorexia and examined the hypothalamic levels of mRNAs for neuropeptide Y (NPY), melanin-concentrating hormone, and orexin.
Leptin treatment decreases Arc ceramide levels, with the decrease being important in leptin-induced anorectic actions and down-regulations of NPY and Bsx.
Although acute loss of hypothalamic neurons that produce appetite-stimulating neuropeptide Y (Npy) and agouti-related peptide (Agrp) in adult mice or in mice homozygous for the anorexia (<i>anx</i>) mutation causes aphagia, our understanding of the factors that help maintain appetite regulatory circuitry is limited.
The neuropeptide Y system has proven to be one of the most important regulators of feeding behaviour and energy homeostasis, thus presenting great potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of disorders such as obesity and at the other extreme, anorexia.
Thus, we aimed to test whether age-related variations of CRF effects may also contribute to middle-aged obesity and aging anorexia leading to weight loss of old age groups.
The present results also raise the possibility that leptin reduces food intake and b.w. at least partially due to the enhancement of the anorectic effect of CRH via increased PVN CRH expression and/or VMH CRHR-2 expression.
We hypothesized that urocortin 3 (UCN3) and corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 2 (CRHR2) are associated with IMCL and subcutaneous fat depth (SFD), because the corticotropin-releasing hormone family of peptides are capable of strong anorectic and thermogenic effects.

Administration of IL-1ß induced fever, lethargy and anorexia for∼two-to-three days and increased the concentration of IL-1ß in the hippocampus and hypothalamus for at least eight hours.
We conclude that the involvement of induced PGE<sub>2</sub> in IL-1β evoked anorexia is strain dependent and we suggest that different routes that probably involve distinct prostanoids exist by which inflammatory stimuli may evoke an anorexic response and that these routes may be of different importance in different strains of mice.
Independently from the presence of anorexia, BOLD signals modification before and after oral challenge correlated with basal values of IL-1 and ghrelin (P < 0.001).
In mammals, anorexia accompanying infection is thought to be mediated via cytokines including interleukins, interferons (IFNs), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
Only tumor necrosis factor alphars800629 was associated with anorexia (odds ratio: 0.46; 95% confidence interval: 0.29, 0.72; p < 0.001); patients who were heterozygous and minor homozygous were less likely to suffer anorexia.
During CXRT, controlled for age, sex, race, body mass index, cancer recurrence, previous treatment status, total radiotherapy dose, and CXRT delivery technique, an increase in sTNF-R1 was significantly related to an increase in the mean score for all 15 MDASI symptoms (estimate, 1.74; SE, 0.69; p<.05) and to a larger radiation dose to normal lung volume (estimate, 1.77; SE, 0.71; p<.01); an increase in serum IL-6 was significantly related to increased mean severity for the five most severe symptoms (pain, fatigue, disturbed sleep, lack of appetite, sore throat) (estimate, 0.32; SE, 0.16; p<.05).
We conclude that anorexia triggers increased reactive microglial density and expression of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β; this environment may result in hippocampal neuroinflammation.
We previously reported that hypothalamic tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mRNA expression via histamine H<sub>4</sub> receptors contributes to the development of cisplatin-induced anorexia; however, its precise mechanisms remain unclear.
