The role of autonomic efferents and uncoupling protein 1 in the glucose-lowering effect of leptin therapy
Objective: Leptin reverses hyperglycemia in rodent models of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Direct application of leptin to the brain can lower blood glucose in diabetic rodents, and can activate autonomic efferents and non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT). We investigated whether lepti...
