Feeding and stress interact through the serotonin 2C receptor in developing mice.

Abstract excerpt

Feeding and stress neurocircuits are intertwined. Among the neurotransmitters and receptors common to both circuits, the serotonin 2C receptor is particularly intriguing because its distribution is limited to the central nervous system. Hence, deficits in energy balance and stress responses in mice lacking this gene are likely due to defects in central regulation. The phenotype of the serotonin 2C receptor null...
