GABAergic RIP-Cre Neurons in the Arcuate Nucleus Selectively Regulate Energy Expenditure
Neural regulation of energy expenditure is incompletely understood. By genetically disrupting GABAergic transmission in a cell-specific fashion, and by combining this with selective pharmacogenetic activation and optogenetic mapping techniques, we have uncovered an arcuate-based circuit that selectively drives energy expenditure. Specifically, mice lacking synaptic GABA release from RIP-Cre neu...
متن کاملOrexin excites GABAergic neurons of the arcuate nucleus by activating the sodium--calcium exchanger.
The neuropeptides orexins/hypocretins are essential for normal wakefulness and energy balance, and disruption of their function causes narcolepsy and obesity. Although much is known of the role of orexins in sleep/wake behavior, it remains unclear how they stimulate feeding and metabolism. One of the main targets of orexinergic neurons is the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus, which pla...
متن کاملNesfatin-1 inhibits NPY neurons in the arcuate nucleus.
Although the novel satiety factor nesfatin-1 has been shown to influence feeding behavior through effects on melanocortin signaling, the specific hypothalamic neuronal substrates through which such effects are mediated have yet to be elucidated. To identify neuronal cell types potentially important in mediating nesfatin-1's effects, whole cell current clamp recordings were made from hypothalami...
متن کاملCART 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 کاملCoexpression of gonadotropin inhibitory hormone with Agouti-related peptide in the neurons of arcuate nucleus of ewe hypothalamus
Introduction: Gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH) and Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) are orexigenic peptides expressed in the arcuate nucleus (Arc) of the hypothalamus in the ewe. In addition, effects of GnIH and AgRP on the regulation of gonadotropin releasing hormone secretion have been shown in some mammals. The objective of the present study was to investigate the coexpression of GnIH ...
