Hormones crossing the BBB can modulate their peripheral affects. A hormone crossing the BBB can reinforce its peripheral actions by inducing its release from central stores (illustrated in the left panel by TNF) or by other mechanisms such as vagal relay (illustrated in the middle panel by insulin action on gluconeogenesis). A hormone crossing the BBB can attenuate its peripheral actions as exemplified in the right panel by insulin's effects on feeding.
