Many of the genes, such as AgRP (Agouti-related peptide), PYY (orexogenic), or MC4R (the melanocortin-4 receptor), were identified for monogenic obesity disrupt the regulatory system of appetite and weight, hormonal signals (ghrelin, leptin, insulin) are sensed by the receptors located in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (51). Here, MC4R is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
