  1. 1. Neuropeptide circuitries regulating food and water intake

    Författare :Christian Broberger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : An adequate supply of nutrients through food intake is critical for survival, as evidenced by disorders such as obesity and anorexia, which in the long run may be life-threatening. Feeding behaviour is ultimately controlled by interacting neuronal populations in the brain. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genetic and biological characterization of the anorexic anx/anx mouse

    Författare :Jeanette Johansen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pathological deviations in body weight is a major health problem. It is currently unclear how normal body weight and food intake is controlled. There is even less understanding of the mechanisms behind abnormal eating behavior as in anorexia and obesity. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Hypothalamic regulation of food intake : focus on the anx/anx mouse

    Författare :Ida Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The main goal of this thesis is to increase the knowledge about one of the most important tasks of the brain, the hypothalamic regulation of food intake. The hypothalamus is considered to be the brain s main center for regulation of food intake and it is integrating signals regaring energy status, from the body, to initiate a proper behavioral response.

  5. 4. Appetite control : genetic, immunological and neurobiological aspects

    Författare :Charlotte Lindfors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The overall goal of this thesis is to develop a better understanding of the brain’s regulation of appetite, i.e. the hypothalamic regulation of hunger and satiety signals. LÄS MER
