Lesions of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) cause hypophagia. However, activation glutamatergic neurons in LH inhibits feeding. These results suggest a potential importance for other stimulating Our current study mice showed that disruption GABA release from adult GABAergic reduced project extensively to paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), and optogenetic stimulation → PVH fibers induced monosynaptic IPSCs neurons, potently increased feeding, which depended on release. In addition,...
Abstract Defective rhythmic metabolism is associated with high-fat high-caloric diet (HFD) feeding, ageing and obesity; however, the neural basis underlying HFD effects on diurnal remains elusive. Here we show that deletion of BMAL1, a core clock gene, in paraventricular hypothalamic (PVH) neurons reduces rhythmicity metabolism, causes obesity diminishes PVH neuron activation response to fast-refeeding. Animal models mimicking deficiency responsiveness, achieved through clamping activity at...
