SK3 in POMC neurons plays a sexually dimorphic role in energy and glucose homeostasis

Abstract Background Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons play a sexually dimorphic role in body weight and glucose balance. However, the mechanisms for the sex differences in POMC neuron functions are not fully understood. Results We detected small conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK) current...
