Cell type-specific transcriptomics of hypothalamic energy-sensing neuron responses to weight-loss
2 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
Molecular and cellular processes in neurons are critical for sensing and responding to energy deficit states, such as during weight-loss. Agouti related protein (AGRP)-expressing neurons are a key hypothalamic population that is activated during energy deficit and increases appetite and weight-gain. Cell type-specific transcriptomics can be used to identify pathways that counteract weight-loss, and here we report...
