Abstract
Researchers have investigated whether the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) pathway, through which a number of neurotransmitters which have an impact on feeding in the perfornical/lateral hypothalamus (PFH/LH) may act, could play a role in the impact of these areas on feeding. This involved injecting the membrane-permanent cAMP analog 8-bromo-cAMP (8-BrcAMP) hypothalamically in satiated rats. It appears that cAMP may be a point of convergence for signals affecting food intake.
