Abstract:

 Feeding is a reflective activity in animals,and regulation of feeding behavior is associated with brain-gut axis.After feeding,brain-gut peptides were released from gastrointestinal after receiving signal stimuli of nutrients,vagal afferent neurons received signal of brain-gut peptides and transferred them to central nervous system,which integrated these signals to effector organ and promoted or inhibited feeding.Brain-gut peptides,important gastrointestinal hormones involved in food intake,are playing a critical role in the regulation of feeding behavior of brain-gut axis.The advances on food intake regulation of brain-gut axis are reviewed in this article.
