Melanocortin and related peptides in energy homeostasis : insights from human and mouse genetics
Substantial evidence from rodent and human genetic models has identified the hypothalamic melanocortin system as a fundamental component of the neural network regulating energy homeostasis. The aims of this thesis were a) to examine the relevance of four components related to this pathway; proopiome...
