Inhibition of glycine transporter-1 in the dorsal vagal complex improves metabolic homeostasis in diabetes and obesity

Glycine sensing in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) regulates hepatic glucose production in rodents. Here the authors show that pharmacological and molecular inhibition of glycine reuptake in the DVC potentiates NMDA receptors, and improves metabolic homeostasis in animal models of obesity and diabete...
