Abstract excerpt
Earlier studies have shown that fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1 in the brain regulates feeding behavior. In the present study, food intake in rats was strongly suppressed by an infusion into the lateral cerebroventricle of a synthetic peptide (26 amino acids) which contains both the N-terminal nuclear localization sequence (NLS) of FGF-1 and a recently identified membrane-permeable sequence. When the NLS motif...
