Leptin in the Commissural Nucleus of the Tractus Solitarius (cNTS) and Anoxic Stimulus in the Carotid Body Chemoreceptors Increases cNTS Leptin Signaling Receptor and Brain Glucose Retention in Rats

<i>Background and Objectives</i>: The commissural nucleus of the tractus solitarius (cNTS) not only responds to glucose levels directly, but also receives afferent signals from the liver, and from the carotid chemoreceptors (CChR). In addition, leptin, through its receptors in the cNTS,...
