Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) elicits a potent reduction in food intake, although the central mechanism mediating this appetite-suppressive effect is not fully understood in all species. To begin to elucidate the molecular mechanisms in quail, we administered GLP-1 via intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection to 7-day-old Japanese quail(Coturnix j...
Simple Summary
Heat stress is a major environmental condition negatively impacting the wellbeing of various avian species. In chickens, heat exposure is associated with disruption of metabolic and immune system function, and an increased risk of mortality. This has a negative impact on the food economy, as chicken products make up roughly 34% of th...
Neuropeptide AF (NPAF) decreases food and water intake in birds and food intake in mammals. In this study, the objective was to determine the effects of centrally administered NPAF on food and water intake, hypothalamic c-Fos immunoreactivity and hypothalamic mRNA abundance of appetite-regulating factors in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). Seven...
Exposure to high ambient temperatures (HAT) is associated with increased mortality, weight loss, immunosuppression, and metabolic malfunction in birds, all of which are likely downstream effects of reduced food intake. While the mechanisms mediating the physiological responses to HAT are documented, the neural mechanisms mediating behavioral respon...
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is involved in gastric smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation, and gastric secretions. It is also associated with appetite regulation, eliciting an anorexigenic response in mammals, birds, and fish, however the molecular mechanism mediating this response is not well understood. The aim of the present study wa...
Gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) is involved in the stimulation of gastric acid release from the stomach. It also mediates effects on feeding behavior. It is associated with anorexigenic effects in both mammalian and avian species, but the mechanism of action is unknown in any species. The aim of the present study was thus to investigate the hypotha...
