Orexin neurons as conditional glucosensors: Paradoxical regulation of sugar sensing by intracellular fuels
Central orexin/hypocretin neurons promote wakefulness, feeding and reward-seeking, and control blood glucose levels by regulating sympathetic outflow to the periphery. Glucose itself directly suppresses the electrical activity and cytosolic calcium levels of orexin cells. Recentin vitrostudies sugge...
