Inhibition of glycogen phosphorylase stimulates ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus AMP‐activated protein kinase
Abstract The glucose polymer glycogen is a vital fuel reserve in the brain. The mediobasal hypothalamic energy sensor AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) maintains glucostasis via neurotransmitter mechanisms that suppress [γ‐aminobutyric acid; GABA] or stimulate [nitric oxide; steroidogenic factor‐1...
