neurons and orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY)/agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons. The melanocortin α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH‚ a biologically active peptide produced in POMC neurons) serves as an agonist‚ whereas AgRP is an inverse agonist at the anorectic melanocortin receptors (MC3R and MC4R) in the central nervous system. NPY elicits its physiological effects via differential activity at the G-protein coupled NPY receptors (NPY1R‚ NPY2R‚ NPY4R‚ and NPY5R) independent of melanocortin
