Roles for Prlhr/GPR10 and Npffr2/GPR74 in feeding responses to PrRP by Yi Wang, Weiwei Qiu, Stace Kernodle, Carly Parker, Marc-Antonio Padilla, Jiaao Su, Abigail J. Tomlinson, Stephanie Oldham, Joss Field, Elise Bernard, David Hornigold, Christopher J. Rhodes, David P. Olson, Randy J. Seeley, Martin G. Myers, Jr

“…Not only does the artificial activation of NTSPrlh cells decrease feeding, but also the expression of Prlh (which encodes the neuropeptide PrRP) and neurotransmission by NTSPrlh neurons contributes to the restraint of food intake and body weight, especially in animals fed a high fat diet (HFD). We set out to determine roles for putative PrRP receptors in the response to NTS PrRP and exogenous PrRP-related peptides. …”
