The ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus: watchdog of whole-body glucose homeostasis
Abstract The brain, particularly the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH), has been long known for its involvement in glucose sensing and whole-body glucose homeostasis. However, it is still not fully understood how the brain detects and responds to the changes in the circulating glucose levels,...
