Bombesin-like peptides: studies on food intake and social behaviour with receptor knock-out mice.

Abstract excerpt

Bombesin (BN)-like peptides and receptors for these peptides are widely distributed in mammalian peripheral tissues and the central nervous system. The physiological and behavioural functions of these peptides have been clarified by both in vivo and in vitro studies. In spite of intensive investigations, the functions of endogenous BN-like peptides remain unclear. In order to specify these functions, our group...
