Does dietary macronutrient composition affect hypothalamic appetite regulation in chicks?
Food intake and hypothalamic gene expression of some important appetite-associated factors were reduced in chicks fed the high-protein or high-fat diets. Fasting and refeeding accentuated several differences and results suggest that the CRF and melanocortin pathways are involved.
PT insulin is absorbed faster and is more potent than human insulin. Although PT insulin stimulates growth more than human insulin, this will not prevent its use in the clinic, but the main interest will probably focus on investigations to clarify the paradox of full biological activity in connection with the recently described lack of structure in the B-chain.
