Abstract
⺠OX, TH, PYY and CCK were cloned in blind cavefish. ⺠Fasting increases OX and TH brain mRNA expression but has no effect on PYY and CCK expression. ⺠Periprandial changes in expression are seen for OX, TH and PYY but not for CCK. ⺠Brain OX, TH and PYY might be involved in the central regulation of feeding of blind cavefish.
