The hypothalamus plays a central role in the integrated control of feeding and energy homeostasis. Two novel neuropeptides Orexin -A and -B were identified. Orexins activate two closely related G protein-coupled receptors and stimulate food consumption. They act also as mediators in the central feedback mechanism and regulates feeding behavior.
