Antagonistic interplay between hypocretin and leptin in the lateral hypothalamus regulates stress responses
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functions to coordinate behavioural and physiological responses to stress in a manner that depends on the behavioural state of the organism. However, the mechanisms through which arousal and metabolic states influence the HPA axis are poorly understood. Here using optogenetic approaches in mice, we show that neurons that produce hypocretin (Hcrt)/or...
متن کاملFrom observation to experimentation: leptin action in the mediobasal hypothalamus.
The burgeoning obesity epidemic has fueled the drive to describe, mechanistically, metabolic homeostasis. From the early theories implicating glucose as a principal modulator grew an understanding of a complex array of metabolic signals, sensed by peripheral organs along with specific locations within the central nervous system (CNS). The discovery that leptin, an adipose-derived hormone, acts ...
متن کاملMechanisms of leptin action and leptin resistance.
The adipose tissue-derived hormone leptin acts via its receptor (LRb) in the brain to regulate energy balance and neuroendocrine function. LRb signaling via STAT3 and a number of other pathways is required for the totality of leptin action. The failure of elevated leptin levels to suppress feeding and mediate weight loss in common forms of obesity defines a state of so-called leptin resistance....
متن کاملLateral thinking
For those of us used to hearing with our ears, it is difficult to imagine how the fish or amphibian perceives its environment on the basis of information from the lateral line sensory system. The lateral line system detects vibrations in the water, a process that has been termed ‘svenning’ — after Sven Dijkgraaf (1908–1995), a founder figure in lateral line research — and is neatly summarised i...
متن کاملPresynaptic Regulation of Leptin in a Defined Lateral Hypothalamus-Ventral Tegmental Area Neurocircuitry Depends on Energy State.
Synaptic transmission controls brain activity and behaviors, including food intake. Leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, acts on neurons located in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) to maintain energy homeostasis and regulate food intake behavior. The specific synaptic mechanisms, cell types, and neural projections mediating this effect remain unclear. In male mice, using pathway-specific re...
