Melanocortin 4 receptors in the paraventricular nucleus modulate the adipose afferent reflex in rat.

Melanocortin 4 receptors in the paraventricular nucleus modulate the adipose afferent reflex in rat.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of hypothalamus is an important central component in modulating adipose afferent reflex (AAR). Melanocortin receptors (MC3/4Rs) expressions are found in the hypothalamic PVN. This study was designed to determine the roles of MC3/4Rs in the PVN in mod...
