Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ghrelin levels stimulate neurons in the arcuate nucleus, which in turn increases appetite levels. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because ghrelin levels actually increase appetite, so it would not cause a decrease in appetite levels. Option C is partly incorrect because NPY is a neuropeptide that is released in the arcuate nucleus, but the question does not provide enough information to suggest an increase in NPY levels in response to rising ghrelin levels. Option D is also incorrect because rising ghrelin levels would not cause a decrease in NPY levels.
