Alteracións neuroendocrinas dos circuitos hipotalámicos na obesidade

About:
Multiple hormonal cues converge in the hypothalamus to help determine and maintain an organism’s body weight. Our recent studies have shown how melanocortin neurons integrate endocrine inputs from gonadal and adipose axes, thereby contributing to the sexual dimorphism in diet-induced obesity. We have also explored how insulin signalling in astrocytes regulates systemic glucose homeostasis and adiposity.
