Enhanced adrenergic excitation of serotonergic dorsal raphe neurons in genetically obese rats.

Neuroscience letters - 31 Oct 2002

Ohliger-Frerking Patricia, Horowitz John M, Horwitz Barbara A

Abstract excerpt

Serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) project to the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), where serotonin (5-HT) release modulates feeding. 5-HT release in the VMH is altered in genetically obese vs. lean Zucker rats. Serotonergic DRN neurons are subject to adrenergic and serotonergic neuromodulation. To determine if the difference in 5-HT release between lean and obese rats might be due to...
