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

“…Conclusions: Hence, each receptor can participate in the NTSPrlh-mediated suppression of food intake and body weight gain, while PrRP analog treatment can mediate its effects via distinct systems. While Prlhr plays a crucial role in the physiologic restraint of weight gain, the action of either receptor is capable of ameliorating obesity in response to enhanced NTSPrlh signaling.…”
