The hypoleptinaemia may be responsible for activating the orexigenic NPY pathway, and decreasing activity of the anorexic melanocortin and CART pathways resulting in hyperphagia during early lactation in sheep. Despite this increased orexigenic drive, the sheep remained in negative energy balance. The reason for sheep continuing in negative energy is still to be resolved.  aSheep1 aADAM, C.
