Leptin-Mediated Sympathoexcitation in Obese Rats: Role for Neuron–Astrocyte Crosstalk in the Arcuate Nucleus

IntroductionAccumulated evidence indicates that obesity is associated with enhanced sympathetic activation. Hypothalamic leptin-mediated signaling may contribute to the exaggerated sympathoexcitation of obesity. The goal of this study was to investigate the “neuron–astrocyte” interaction affecting l...
