TrkB-expressing paraventricular hypothalamic neurons suppress appetite through multiple neurocircuits
2019-06-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The TrkB receptor is critical for the control of energy balance, as mutations in its gene ( NTRK2 ) lead to hyperphagia and severe obesity in humans and mice. The main neural substrate mediating the appetite-suppressing activity of TrkB, however, remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that selective Ntrk2 deletion within the paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH) leads to severe hyperphagic obesity...
