Abstract excerpt
Neuropeptide Y is one of the most powerful neurochemical stimulants of food intake known. The neuronal substrate for this action is believed to be the neuropeptide Y-expressing cell population in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus. In this study, mice homozygous for the anorexia mutation (anx) were investigated histochemically; anx is a recessive mutation that causes decreased food intake and starvation, leading to...
