This study identifies and localizes NPGL and NPGM mRNA expression in the Japanese quail hypothalamus, showing sex-specific and fasting-responsive patterns.

This study shows that short-term NPGL overexpression in mice increases fat accumulation and suppresses immune-inflammatory responses in adipose tissue.

This study shows that overexpressing the NPGL gene in mice on a high-fat diet increases food intake and body mass but prevents excessive fat accumulation in specific adipose tissues.

This study shows that chronic intracerebroventricular infusion of NPGM in chicks increases body mass, water intake, and abdominal fat mass without affecting food intake or blood glucose.

This study shows that subcutaneous NPGL infusion in mice increases white adipose tissue fat accumulation without affecting body mass or food intake.
