Leptin-inhibited PBN neurons enhance responses to hypoglycemia in negative energy balance
2014
The counter-regulatory response (CRR) restores blood glucose levels after hypoglycemia. The authors identify a population of leptin receptor– and cholecystokinin-expressing neurons in the parabrachial nucleus of the hypothalamus that modulates the CRR. These neurons are activated by hypoglycemia, inhibited by leptin and project to the ventromedial hypothalamus.
