Satiety center

The paraventricular nucleus in the hypothalamus is located adjacent to the third ventricle and has been identified as a satiety center. Neurons in the paraventricular nucleus produce neuropeptides which inhibit feeding when injected into the brain (thyrotropinreleasing hormone (TRH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), oxytocin).

Benzphetamine hydrochloride is an anorexiant that stimulates the satiety center in the brain, causing appetite suppression. It is used in 25 to 50 mg p.o. daily as a short-term (few weeks) adjunct to diet plan to reduce weight (see Amphetamine Sulfate). 

Sibutramine hydrochloride is an anorexiant that inhibits reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine. It may stimulate the satiety center in brain, causing appetite suppression. It is indicated as an adjunct to a reduced calorie diet for the management of obesity, including weight loss and maintenance of weight loss.
