Region-specific differences in brain melanocortin receptors in rats of the lean phenotype.

Neuroreport - 11 Jul 2012

Shukla Charu, Britton Steven L, Koch Lauren G, Novak Colleen M

Abstract excerpt

The brain melanocortin (MC) system is one of numerous overlapping systems regulating energy balance; it consists of peptides including α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone that act through melanocortin receptors (MCRs). Mutations and polymorphisms in MC3R and MC4R have been identified as one of the m...
