1 | Intragastric administration of evodiamine suppresses NPY and AgRP gene expression in the hypothalamus and decreases food intake in rats. | evodiamine | agouti related neuropeptide | Rattus norvegicus |
2 | Our results show that intragastric administration of Evo (40 mg/kg) decreased rate of food intake and body weight increase following rat growth, reduced orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-gene related protein (AgRP) mRNA levels and NPY peptide level in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus, but it increases the circulating level of leptin. | evodiamine | agouti related neuropeptide | Rattus norvegicus |
3 | Our results show that intragastric administration of Evo (40 mg/kg) decreased rate of food intake and body weight increase following rat growth, reduced orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-gene related protein (AgRP) mRNA levels and NPY peptide level in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus, but it increases the circulating level of leptin. | evodiamine | agouti related neuropeptide | Rattus norvegicus |
4 | These data suggest that Evo decreases food intake, and therefore body weight, partly by down-regulating NPY and AgRP mRNA expression and peptide expression in the ARC of the hypothalamus. | evodiamine | agouti related neuropeptide | Rattus norvegicus |
