Interrogation of Neuromedin U Receptor 2/Neuromedin U as a Novel Therapeutic Target for the Treatment of Obesity
… in food consumption have helped highlight the Neuromedin U Receptor 2 (NMUR2) as a promising target that can regulate body weight and food intake. NMUR2 is activated by the endogenous ligand, Neuromedin U (NMU), which then causes a downstream signaling cascade that leads to neuronal activation …

Neuromedin U Acts via the Paraventricular Nucleus of the Hypothalamus and the Dorsal Raphe Nucleus to Regulate Motivation for High-Fat Food
… A novel regulator of motivation for food may be neuromedin U (NMU), a highly-conserved neuropeptide that influences food intake. Although these effects of NMU have primarily been attributed to signaling in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), NMU has also been found in other …

Investigation of enteric neuron and type 2 lymphocyte interactions at homeostasis and during Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection
… evidence indicates neuropeptides, such as Neuromedin U (NMU), as salient regulators of ILC2s. The bona fide sources of these neuropeptides has not been verified, with reciprocal interactions between ILC2s and distinct enteric neuronal populations not yet explored. In this thesis, a …
