Cross-talk between metabolism and reproduction: The Role of POMC and SF-1 Neurons
Energy homeostasis and reproduction need to be tightly coordinated. The mechanisms for this coordinated control are not fully understood. Two subsets of hypothalamic neurons, namely pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons in the arcuate nucleus and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) neurons in the ventromedi...
