[agouti-related peptide neurons] AgRP neurons, which express AgRP [agouti-related peptide] and also co-express NPY [neuropeptide Y] (Hahn et al, 1998), are one of the key cell types that regulate feeding in response to hormones and nutrients, and these neurons are modulated rapidly even by the mere sight and smell of food (for overview see: Chen and Knight, 2016). AgRP neurons are activated by energy deficit (Hahn et al, 1998). Their activity promotes food seeking and consumption (Aponte etal, 2011; Krashes et al, 2011; Luquet et al, 2005).
