Abstract
Nesfatin-1, derived from the nucleobindin 2 (NUCB2) precursor, is a potent anorexigenic peptide that was discovered in 2006. Since its identification in the hypothalamus, it has been shown to have wide ranging actions within and outside of the central nervous system. One of these actions is the regulation of inflammation, which could potentially be exploited therapeutically in the context of obesity-associated inflammation in adipose tissue. Here, we review recent advances in our knowledge about the ability of nesfatin-1 to control inflammation by regulating NFκB signaling, which likely attenuates pro-inflammatory cytokine production and inhibits apoptosis.
期刊介绍:
Appetite is an international research journal specializing in cultural, social, psychological, sensory and physiological influences on the selection and intake of foods and drinks. It covers normal and disordered eating and drinking and welcomes studies of both human and non-human animal behaviour toward food. Appetite publishes research reports, reviews and commentaries. Thematic special issues appear regularly. From time to time the journal carries abstracts from professional meetings. Submissions to Appetite are expected to be based primarily on observations directly related to the selection and intake of foods and drinks; papers that are primarily focused on topics such as nutrition or obesity will not be considered unless they specifically make a novel scientific contribution to the understanding of appetite in line with the journal's aims and scope.
