Which hormone is produced and released by anorexigenic neuron to suppress the appetite? Correct Answer Alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha – MSH)

The anorexigenic (appetite – suppressing) neurons in the arcuate nucleus develop alpha melanocyte–stimulating hormone (alpha – MSH; also known as melanocortin), produced from its polypeptide precursor pro opiomelanocortin. Alpha – MSH release, allows the next neuron in the circuit to send the warning signal to stop eating.
