Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the aspects of androgen-dependent events as
studied by antiandrogens. The individual studies covered in the chapter are related only …

We have analyzed at high resolution the neuroanatomical connections of the juxtaparaventricular
region of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHAjp); as a control and in comparison to this, …

Three trials were conducted to evaluate high levels of Zn addition from various Zn sources on
growth performance and plasma Zn responses of 8-kg pigs. Zinc supplements were added …

The cortico–basal ganglia–thalamo–cortical loop is one of the fundamental network motifs
in the brain. Revealing its structural and functional organization is critical to understanding …

An essential step toward understanding brain function is to establish a structural framework
with cellular resolution on which multi-scale datasets spanning molecules, cells, circuits and …

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) plays a critical role in the regulation
of autonomic, neuroendocrine, and behavioral activities. This understanding has come from …

Two hundred sixteen crossbred (PIC line 26 × Camborough 15) pigs were used in three trials
to determine optimal digestible lysine levels during early (EF = 50 to 95 kg) and late (LF = …

The vagus nerve is the primary means of neural communication between the gastrointestinal
(GI) tract and the brain. Vagally mediated GI signals activate the hippocampus (HPC), a …

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced in the small intestines and in nucleus tractus
solitarius (NTS) neurons. Activation of central GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs) reduces feeding …

10.7554/eLife.11190.001 Feeding behavior rarely occurs in direct response to metabolic
deficit, yet the overwhelming majority of research on the biology of food intake control has …
