This compound activates the synthesis of FAAH, which degrades the endocannabinoid anandamide.
This compound activates the synthesis of FAAH, which degrades the endocannabinoid anandamide. This hormone upregulates the synthesis of melanocortins, and female mice administered with this protein have been shown to undergo puberty at an earlier age, indicating its possible role in fertility. This hormone targets the expression of neuropeptide Y in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, and (*) ghrelin counteracts the effects of this hormone. Parabiosis experiments on mice conducted by Coleman significantly improved the understanding of this hormone, since Ob [Oh-bee] mutant mice showed no effect, while normal mice underwent significant weight-loss. It is primarily secreted by adipocytes, and low levels of this hormone may be found in obese people. For 10 points, identify this hormone which plays an important role in the metabolism of fat and whose levels signal satiety.
