The molecular genetics of the melanocortin pathway and energy homeostasis.

Cell metabolism - 1 Feb 2006

Leibel Rudolph L

Abstract excerpt

The CNS melanocortin pathway plays an important role in the control of body weight. Two papers in this issue of Cell Metabolism, Lee et al., 2006 and Biebermann et al., 2006, suggest that beta MSH--a product of POMC processing--plays an unanticipated role in this pathway in humans.
