|
| • | Adiposity signals
modulate anabolic and |
|||||||||
| catabolic
pathways in the CNS. |
||||||||||
| • | These pathways
control food intake and energy |
|||||||||
| expenditure by
influencing behavior, autonomic |
||||||||||
| activity, and
metabolic rate. |
||||||||||
| • | Satiety signals
terminate feeding, and energy |
|||||||||
| balance and fat
storage mechanisms control the |
||||||||||
| amounts of leptin
and insulin circulating in the |
||||||||||
| blood (adiposity
signals). |
