The Hormonal Control of Food Intake

Transient inactivation of the central amygdala modulates metabolic and hormonal responses to acute stress in female rats

Introduction: Current study examined the possible role of the central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) transient inactivation on the metabolic and hormonal disturbances induced by acute electro foot shock stress in female rats. Considering the differences between female and male in responses to stress, this study attempts to reveal possible mechanisms underlying these differences. Methods: Uni- or bil...

Central effect of histamine and antihistamines on food intake in freely feeding and food-deprived rabbits

Several lines of evidence suggest that brain histamine may be involved in the central control of food intake. The effect of histamine on feeding is mediated through three kinds of receptors (H1, H2, and H3). The present study was designed to investigate the effect of intracerebroventricular injection of histamine, promethazine (H1 antagonist) and ranitidine (H2 antagonist) on food intake of fre...

Effect of Folic Acid on serum Leptin, Grehlin concentration, and feed intake in male Wistar rats

Introduction: There is no comprehensive study on the effect of Folate on food intake therefore the present study was carried out to determine the effect of Folate supplementation on serum concentrations of Leptin and Grehlin and food intake in male Wistar rats. Methods: The study was carried out for 42 days during which the animals were weighed weekly their food and water intakes were measu...

Comparison Of Food Groups Intake And Body Mass Index Among Healthy Children With ASD, A Case- Control Study

Introduction: Food choices in autistic children are problematic and nutritional deficiencies is spotted in them. The purpose of this study is to compare anthropometric indices and dietary intake of autistic children with healthy children. Methods: In this case-control study, the frequency of food intake and anthropometric indices for 90 autistic children and 93 healthy children aged 5 to 12 yea...
