Melanocortin regulation of histaminergic neurons via perifornical lateral hypothalamic melanocortin 4 receptors

Melanocortin regulation of histaminergic neurons via perifornical lateral hypothalamic melanocortin 4 receptors

Objective: Histaminergic neurons of the tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) are wake-promoting and contribute to the regulation of energy homeostasis. Evidence indicates that melanocortin 4 receptors (MC4R) are expressed within the TMN. However, whether the melanocortin system influences the activity and...
