pathway

The Table of the Pathway:

Starvation:

obesity:

weight loss

weight gain

-->less adipose tissue

-->more adipose tissue

-->decrease leptin

-->increase leptin

-->stimulate hypothalamus

-->hypothalamus

-->NPY/NPY receptor

-->MSH(agout i )MCR-4

-->increase food intake & decrease energy expenditure and reproductive.

-->decrease food intake & increase energy expenditure.
