Abstract:
Glucagon like peptide-1(GLP-1) is a category of peptide secreted by intestine. The finding of GLP-1 was originated from the observation of "Incretin" phenomenon in 1960s. Besides lowering plasma glucose, GLP-1 can protect pancreas,improve cardiovascular outcome,and play a role in regulating appetite,as well as lower body weight. Given that food intake regulation mechanism modulated by GLP-1 remains uncertain,it is postulated that the central nervous system has played a vital role in this mechanism. In the present review,we focused on the following aspects about central nervous system's role in GLP-1's regulation of appetite:(1)The brain nuclei related to appetite regulation;(2) The brain nuclei related to blood glucose regulation; (3) The brain nuclei related to food intake reward behavior;(4) the role of food-related peptides and GLP-1;(5) How the GLP-1 receptor expression nuclei regulates the food intake.
