Feeding and related metabolic events are able to modulate hormones and neuropeptides. Normal feeding (right) or reduced feeding (left) act specifically through the activation of tissues and organs to compensate for any metabolic excess or deficiency. Carnitine integration permits specific modulations on most of these metabolic pathways through CPT1 regulation. CPT1: Carnitine Palmitoyl-Transferase 1; AgRP: Agouti-Related Protein; NPY: NeuroPeptide Y; GABA: Gamma Amino-Butyric Acid; POMC: Pro-Opio-Melano-Cortin; MSH: Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone.
