Investigating the physiological role of glucokinase in central glucose sensing
The brain is dependent on a constant supply of glucose as its primary fuel. Consequently, the brain has developed ways to tightly control intake of glucose, via glucose sensing neurones containing the enzyme glucokinase (GK). This thesis identifies a role for a subset of glucose sensing neurones in...
