Region-specific differences in brain melanocortin receptors in rats of the lean phenotype.

Neuroreport - 11 Jul 2012

Shukla Charu, Britton Steven L, Koch Lauren G, Novak Colleen M

Abstract excerpt

The brain melanocortin (MC) system is one of numerous overlapping systems regulating energy balance; it consists of peptides including α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone that act through melanocortin receptors (MCRs). Mutations and polymorphisms in MC3R and MC4R have been identified as one of the most common genetic contributors to obesity in human studies. Brain MC3R and MC4R are known to modulate energy...
