Immunohistochemical Evidence for Glutamatergic Regulation of Nesfatin-1 Neurons in the Rat Hypothalamus

Nesfatin-1, identified as an anorexigenic peptide, regulates the energy metabolism by suppressing food intake. The majority of nesfatin-1-synthesizing neurons are concentrated in various hypothalamic nuclei, especially in the supraoptic (SON), arcuate (ARC) and paraventricular nuclei (PVN). We teste...
