Characterization of a novel melanocortin receptor-containing node in the SNS outflow circuitry to brown adipose tissue involved in thermogenesis.

Brain research - 9 Sept 2011

Vaughan C H, Shrestha Y B, Bartness T J

Abstract excerpt

The melanocortins (MC) can affect interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) thermogenesis via its sympathetic nervous system (SNS) innervation. We chose a site of high MC4-receptor (MC4-R) mRNA co-localization with SNS outflow neurons to IBAT, the subzona incerta (subZI) to test whether IBAT thermogenesis could be increased or decreased. We first performed immunohistochemical characterization of the subZI and...
