Leptin signaling in astrocytes regulates hypothalamic neuronal circuits and feeding
2014
In this study, the authors show that conditional deletion of leptin receptors from astrocytes alters their morphology and results in an increase in the number of synapses on POMC and AgRP neurons of the arcuate nucleus. In addition, they find that loss of leptin response in astrocytes modified leptin- and ghrelin-controlled food intake.
