Somato-dendritic localization and signaling by leptin receptors in hypothalamic POMC and AgRP neurons.

Somato-dendritic localization and signaling by leptin receptors in hypothalamic POMC and AgRP neurons.

Leptin acts via neuronal leptin receptors to control energy balance. Hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP)/Neuropeptide Y (NPY)/GABA neurons produce anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides and neurotransmitters, and express the long signaling form of the leptin...
