Abstract

Neuromedin U (NMU) is a kind of neuropeptide which can inhibit the feeding of animals. It is widely distributed in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues, and has many biological functions such as regulating feeding, energy balance, immune and reproduction. This article reviews the discovery, structure, tissue distribution of NMU and the mechanism of NMU in feeding regulation to provide some basis for the regulation of animal feeding and growth.
