Lipid biosynthesis enzyme Agpat5 in AgRP-neurons is required for insulin-induced hypoglycemia sensing and glucagon secretion

During hypoglycemia, glucagon secretion is part of the mechanism needed to restore normal blood glucose levels. Here, Strembitska et al. report that sensing of hypoglycemia by AgRP neurons requires Agpat5, an enzyme which prevents fatty acids from entering the mitochondria for ATP production, ensuri...
