Target Information
Chicken Glucagon Family Neuropeptides (Glucagon-Family-Neuropeptides) are a group of peptides derived from the proglucagon gene, which plays a significant role in regulating food intake and energy homeostasis. These peptides include glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), and oxyntomodulin (OXM). In chickens, these peptides are expressed in both the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. For example, GLP-1 is released from the intestine in response to food ingestion and acts as a satiety signal, reducing food intake. OXM also suppresses food intake and increases plasma glucose and corticosterone levels when administered centrally. These peptides are crucial for understanding and potentially manipulating feeding behavior in poultry to improve production efficiency and health.
