Despite the diverse nature of obesity, there is compelling genetic, clinical, and experimental evidence that endorses the ...

These centers are located adjacent to the third ventricle in dorsomedial and reticular thalamic nuclei and in paraventricular, supraoptic and posterior hypothalamic nuclei. As SID is associated ...

We report here that the delivery of leptin to the hypothalamus through intracranial ... of rAAV-leptin farther away from the target nuclei (IV and IM), in contrast to the case with IH injections.

There are projections from the ARC to other hypothalamic nuclei, as well as the cerebral cortex and reward pathways. Multiple neuropeptides have been identified that appear to modulate pathways ...
