Research Progress on Agouti-Related Peptide/Pro-Opiomelanocortin Neurons in Regulation of Fish Feeding
Feeding is crucial for fish survival,growth,development and reproduction.The feeding process is mainly regulated by the central nervous system of the hypothalamus,among which agouti-related peptide(AgRP)neurons and pro-opiomelanocortin(POMC)neurons are the two key neurons to control feeding.Through combing domestic and foreign literature,based on an overview of the neurons and distribution of AgRP/POMC,this paper analyzes the role of AgRP/POMC neurons in the regulation of feeding,and explores the strategy of regulating fish feeding based on the AgRP/POMC neuron pathway,in order to provide reference for the study of feeding regulation in fish and other aquatic animals.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2023,35(12):7595-7604]
