5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors as hypothalamic targets of developmental programming in male rats

5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors as hypothalamic targets of developmental programming in male rats

Although obesity is a global epidemic, the physiological mechanisms involved are not well understood. Recent advances reveal that susceptibility to obesity can be programmed by maternal and neonatal nutrition. Specifically, a maternal low-protein diet during pregnancy causes decreased intrauterine g...
