Oxytocin signaling in the posterior hypothalamus prevents hyperphagic obesity in mice

2021-12-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Decades of studies have revealed molecular and neural circuit bases for body weight homeostasis. Neural hormone oxytocin (OT) has received attention in this context because it is produced by neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), a known output center of hypothalamic regulation of appetite. OT has an anorexigenic effect, as shown in human studies, and can mediate satiety signa...
