Leptin Signaling Targets the Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Gene Promoter<i>in Vivo</i>
9 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
The regulation of TRH gene expression in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) by leptin is critical for normal function of the thyroid axis in rodents and humans. The TRH neuron in the PVH expresses both leptin and melanocortin-4 receptors, suggesting that both signaling systems may regulate TRH gene expression in vivo. Indeed, the TRH promoter responds to both of these signaling pathways in cell...
