Knocking down the neuronal lactate transporter MCT2 in the arcuate nucleus of female rats increases food intake and body weight

Knocking down the neuronal lactate transporter MCT2 in the arcuate nucleus of female rats increases food intake and body weight

Abstract In the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, tanycyte-neuron interactions regulate glucose homeostasis and feeding behavior. Previously, we reported that monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) 1 and 4 are localized in tanycytes, whereas MCT2 is present in arcuate nucleus neurons, including orexi...
