Glucagon-like peptide 1 stimulates hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin neurons.
- Abstract:
-
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a potent inhibitor of food intake. GLP-1 receptor mRNA is densely expressed in hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) and precisely overlaps the area occupied by proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons. Activation of POMC neurons suppresses appetite, and lack of POMC-derived peptides or inhibition of POMC neuronal firing causes obesity. Here, we identify living POMC cells in mouse ARC brain slices by targeted expression of green fluorescent protein. Using whole-cell ...
