DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2021.736401
Abstract: Abstract Neuropeptide Y (NPY), melanin-concentrating hormone 1 (MCH1), and cholecystokinin (CCK) are appetite-regulatory hormones. To understand the regulation of npy, mch1, and cck mRNA expression by dietary nutrients, the following two experiments were performed in… read more here.

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons in the developing chick brain
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Brain Research"
DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2018.07.001
Abstract: The present study was undertaken because no previous developmental studies exist on MCH neurons in any avian species. After validating a commercially-available antibody for use in chickens, immunohistochemical examinations first detected MCH neurons around embryonic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2022.04.006
Abstract: Orexin and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons constitute the energy balance circuitry that coordinates the fasting response. Orexin neurons mediate food foraging at the expense of energy storage, while MCH neurons promote energy storage by reducing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41593-021-00984-5
Abstract: Hypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) polypeptide contributes to regulating energy homeostasis, sleep and memory, although the mechanistic bases of its effects are unknown. In this study, in mice, we uncovered the physiological mechanism underlying the functional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jne.12723
Abstract: Although the melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH) and its coding mRNA are predominantly found in the tuberal hypothalamus, there is detectable synthesis of MCH in the preoptic hypothalamus exclusively in lactating dams, suggesting a participation of MCH… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jne.12827
Abstract: A population of neurones in the medial part of the medial preoptic area (mPOA) transiently express melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH) in mid to late lactation in the rat, and this expression disappears on weaning. Prolactin is… read more here.
