Sensing Glucose in the Central Melanocortin Circuits of Rainbow Trout: A Morphological Study

Sensing Glucose in the Central Melanocortin Circuits of Rainbow Trout: A Morphological Study

In mammals, glucosensing markers reside in brain areas known to play an important role in the control of food intake. The best characterized glucosensing mechanism is that dependent on glucokinase (GK) whose activation by increased levels of glucose leads in specific hypothalamic neurons to decrease...
