This study aimed to determine whether glycyl-l-glutamine (Gly-Gln; β-endorphin (30–31)), a non-opioid peptide derived from β-endorphin processing, modulates neuropeptide Y (NPY)-induced feeding and hypothalamic mRNA expression of peptide hormones in male broiler chicks. Intracerebroventricular injection of NPY (235 pmol) generated a hyperphagic response inad libitumchicks within 30 min. Co-administration of Gly-Gln (100 nmol) attenuated this response, inducing a 30 % decrease. This was not attributable to Gly-Gln hydrolysis because co-administration of glycine (Gly) and glutamine (Gln) had no effect on NPY-induced hyperphagia. Gly-Gln injected alone also showed no effect. The hypothalamicpro-opiomelanocortinmRNA expression in the co-injection group was significantly higher than that in the NPY alone group. These data indicate that endogenous Gly-Gln may contribute to regulate feeding behaviorviathe central melanocortin system in chicks and acts as a counter regulator of the neural activity in energy metabolism.
