Effects of Naltrexone on Energy Balance and Hypothalamic Melanocortin Peptides in Male Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet

The hypothalamic melanocortin system composed of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons plays a key role in maintaining energy homeostasis. The POMC-derived peptides, α-MSH and β-EP, have distinct roles in this process. α-MSH inhibits food intake, whereas β-EP, an endog...
