Thermogenesis, the production of heat energy, is the specific, neurally regulated, metabolic
function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and contributes to the maintenance of body …

Dopamine‐releasing neurons within the Substantia nigra (SN DA) are particularly
vulnerable to degeneration compared to other dopaminergic neurons. The age‐dependent …

Activation of Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons potently promotes feeding, and
chronically altering their activity also affects peripheral glucose homeostasis. We …

High-fat diet (HFD) feeding induces rapid reprogramming of systemic metabolism. Here, we
demonstrate that HFD feeding of mice downregulates glucose transporter (GLUT)-1 …

Thermogenesis, the production of heat energy, in brown adipose tissue is a significant
component of the homeostatic repertoire to maintain body temperature during the challenge …

Glucose homeostasis as well as homeostatic and hedonic control of feeding is regulated by
hormonal, neuronal, and nutrient-related cues. Glucose, besides its role as a source of …

It has recently become clear that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor
for the development of metabolic syndrome, a disorder of defective energy storage and use …

Purpose The brain noradrenaline (NA) system plays an important role in the central nervous
control of energy balance and is thus implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity. The specific …

Astrocytes are considered an essential source of blood-borne glucose or its metabolites to
neurons. Nonetheless, the necessity of the main astrocyte glucose transporter, ie, GLUT1 …

Objective Crosstalk between adipocytes and local neurons may be an important regulatory
mechanism to control energy homeostasis. We previously reported that perturbation of …
