This review highlights the role of the cyclic peptide melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) in regulating energy balance, sleep, and emotional states. It details how MCH acts through the MCHR1 receptor to stimulate food intake, reduce energy expenditure, and promote weight gain. The authors suggest that targeting MCHR1 with agonists or antagonists offers promising therapeutic potential for treating obesity and associated metabolic disorders.
