Hypothalamic

Research showed the nicotine drugs acted on a brain pathway involved in the regulation of appetite called the hypothalamic melanocortin system. ❋ Ann Lukits (2011)

The TSH may be paradoxically low in a condition called hypothalamic dysfunction. ❋ GreenFertility (2007)

Dr Waljit Dhillo studied a condition called hypothalamic amenorrhoea, which prevents menstruation and causes infertility. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Many of these changes take place in a part of the brain called the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal, or HPA, axis, Tietjen said. ❋ Unknown (2010)

 CRH is a 41-amino acid peptide initially identified as a hypothalamic factor responsible for stimulating ACTH from the anterior pituitary (1). ❋ Unknown (2008)

This hormonal feedback loop is referred to as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis (HPA). ❋ Unknown (2010)

This of course does not imply that the French eat more - in fact, it is easier to overeat when you are gorging and gulping down your food than if you sit down to a slow 3 course meal (remember, the enteric-hypothalamic satiety axis operates on a 20-40 min time frame). ❋ Unknown (2009)

It appears that once a higher bodyweight is maintained this threshold is changed to a higher level, perhaps because higher leptin levels result in structural changes in hypothalamic excitory synapses. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Such depressions cause subchronic or chronic stress which then affects the limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal/thyroid/gonads axes. ❋ Unknown (2009)
