Action of prolactin, prolactin-releasing peptide and orexins on hypothalamic neurons of adult, early postnatally overfed rats.
OBJECTIVES: Hypothalamic neurons of rats overweight due to early postnatal overfeeding (SL) differ from those of control rats in their responses to feeding relevant hormones like leptin or insulin. The question arose whether prolactin and prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) express also differential action in SL rats. These peptides are .....
