Abstract

Cytokines inhibit feeding through peripheral and brain mechanisms. Behavioral, cellular, and molecular studies show that interactions among cytokines, neurotransmitters, and peptides and modulation of hypothalamic neurons are involved in cytokine-induced feeding inhibition. This action of cytokines is relevant to the control of feeding in health and disease.
