CART neurons in the arcuate nucleus and lateral hypothalamic area exert differential controls on energy homeostasis
OBJECTIVE The cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) codes for a pivotal neuropeptide important in the control of appetite and energy homeostasis. However, limited understanding exists for the defined effector sites underlying CART function, as discrepant effects of central CART administration have been reported. METHODS By combining Cart-cre knock-in mice with a Cart adeno-asso...
متن کاملThe hypothalamic arcuate nucleus and the control of peripheral substrates.
The arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus is particularly regarded as a critical platform that integrates circulating signals of hunger and satiety reflecting energy stores and nutrient availability. Among ARC neurons, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and agouti-related protein and neuropeptide Y (NPY/AgRP neurons) are considered as two opposing branches of the melanocortin signaling pathway. In...
متن کاملInsulin suppresses ghrelin-induced calcium signaling in neuropeptide Y neurons of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) play an important role in feeding regulation. Plasma levels of ghrelin and insulin show reciprocal dynamics before and after meals. We hypothesized that ghrelin and insulin also exert reciprocal effects on ARC NPY neurons. Cytosolic Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺](i)) was measured by fura-2 microfluorometry in single neurons isol...
متن کاملDivergent regulation of proopiomelanocortin neurons by leptin in the nucleus of the solitary tract and in the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus.
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus are activated by leptin and mediate part of leptin's central actions to influence energy balance. However, little is known about potential leptin signaling in POMC neurons located in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), the only other known population of POMC neurons. Leptin-responsive neurons do exist in th...
متن کاملAcute systemic hypoxia activates hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus-projecting catecholaminergic neurons in the caudal ventrolateral medulla.
Hypoxia activates catecholamine neurons in the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM). The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) modulates arterial chemoreflex responses and receives catecholaminergic projections from the CVLM, but it is not known whether the CVLM-PVN projection is activated by chemoreflex stimulation. We hypothesized that acute hypoxia (AH) activates PVN-projecting catechola...
