Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Calyn B Maske"
- Calyn B Maske's recent research focuses on the mechanisms of satiety and food intake regulation through neuropeptides, notably examining the roles of orexin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in different brain regions, particularly the hindbrain and lateral septum.
- Findings suggest that orexin 1 receptors in the hindbrain may blunt the effects of gastrointestinal satiety signals, while GLP-1 in the lateral septum is critical for promoting satiety and modulating food motivation both under normal and stress-induced conditions.
- Additional studies highlight how intermittent access to high-fat diets can impair satiation responses and promote excessive intake in female rats, indicating the complex interaction between dietary habits and neuroendocrine responses influencing appetite regulation.
