Conditional deletion of melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 from GABAergic neurons increases locomotor activity
28 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) plays a key role in regulating energy balance. MCH acts via its receptor MCHR1, and MCHR1 deletion increases energy expenditure and locomotor activity, which is associated with a hyperdopaminergic state. Since MCHR1 expression is widespread, the neurons supporting the effects of MCH on energy expenditure are not clearly defined. There is a high density of MCHR1...
