The arcuate nucleus (ARC) is crucial for the maintenance of energy homeostasis as an
integrator of long-and short-term hunger and satiety signals. The expression of receptors for …

With the still‐growing prevalence of obesity worldwide, major efforts are made to understand
the various behavioral, environmental, and genetic factors that promote excess fat gain …

For decades, increasingly sophisticated methods have been designed to address the
problem of the involvement of the brain in the physiology of energy homeostasis and the …

The central nervous system (CNS) is capable of gathering information on the body's
nutritional state and it implements appropriate behavioral and metabolic responses to …

Multiple hypothalamic neuronal populations that regulate energy balance have been
identified. Although hypothalamic glia exist in abundance and form intimate structural …

Energy homeostasis involves a complex network of hypothalamic and extra-hypothalamic
neurons that transduce hormonal, nutrient and neuronal signals into responses that …

Our knowledge of the physiological systems controlling energy homeostasis has increased
dramatically over the last decade. The roles of peripheral signals from adipose tissue …

The hypothalamus uses hormones and the autonomic nervous system to balance energy
fluxes in the body. Here we show that the autonomic nervous system has a distinct …

In the CNS, the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARN) energy-balance circuit plays a key role
in regulating body weight. Recent studies have shown that neurogenesis occurs in the adult …

Food intake and energy expenditure are determinants of metabolic phenotype and are
regulated by the CNS. Although humans have a well-balanced homeostatic feedback loop …
