Hypothalamic AgRP-neurons control peripheral substrate utilization and nutrient partitioning.
Obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and dyslipidemia result from metabolic alterations including the defective conversion, storage and utilization of nutrients, but the central mechanisms that regulate this process of nutrient partitioning remain elusive. As positive regulators of feeding behaviour, agouti-related protein (AgRP) producing neurons are indispensible for the hypothalamic int...
متن کاملAgRP neurons: a switch between peripheral carbohydrate and lipid utilization.
AgRP/NPY neurons are critical regulators of body weight and food intake. Concordant with their orexigenic effects, it is expected that AgRP ablation leads to the appearance of a lean phenotype. In the current issue of The EMBO Journal, Joly-Amado et al (2012) describe an obese phenotype in a model of AgRP-ablated mice, and link it to a shift in metabolic profile in efferent tissues such as the ...
متن کاملArcuate AgRP neurons and the regulation of energy balance
The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus contains at least two populations of neurons that continuously monitor signals reflecting energy status and promote the appropriate behavioral and metabolic responses to changes in energy demand. Activation of neurons making pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) decreases food intake and increases energy expenditure through activation of G protein-coupled melanocor...
متن کاملTXNIP in Agrp neurons regulates adiposity, energy expenditure, and central leptin sensitivity.
Thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) has recently been described as a key regulator of energy metabolism through pleiotropic actions that include nutrient sensing in the mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH). However, the role of TXNIP in neurochemically specific hypothalamic subpopulations and the circuits downstream from MBH TXNIP engaged to regulate energy homeostasis remain unexplored. To evalua...
متن کاملAgrp Neurons: Segregated Feeding Regulation through Different Projections
Bioenergetics is a subject concerned with the energy involved in making and breaking of chemical bonds in the molecules found in biological organisms. Energy transformation is fundamental to growth, development and metabolism of biological organisms. The ability to harness energy from a variety of metabolic pathways is a property of all living organisms. For a multi-organ system like rodents an...
