Lipid biosynthesis enzyme Agpat5 in AgRP-neurons is required for insulin-induced hypoglycemia sensing and glucagon secretion

The counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia that restores normal blood glucose levels is an essential physiological function. It is initiated, in large part, by incompletely characterized brain hypoglycemia sensing neurons that trigger the secretion of ...

Hypothalamic pregnenolone mediates recognition memory in the context of metabolic disorders

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Ioannis Zalachoras, Sara Ramirez Flores

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with cognitive dysfunction. Because the hypothalamus is implicated in energy balance control and memory disorders, we hypothesized that specific neurons in this brain region are at the interface of metabolism and ...

Short Article Hypothalamic bile acid-TGR5 signaling protects from obesity

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino

Bile acids (BAs) improve metabolism and exert anti-obesity effects through the activation of the Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) in peripheral tissues. TGR5 is also found in the brain hypothalamus, but whether hypothalamic BA signaling is implic ...

High-fat diet consumption alters energy metabolism in the mouse hypothalamus

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra, Jean-René Cardinaux

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: High-fat diet consumption is known to trigger an inflammatory response in the hypothalamus, which has been characterized by an initial expression of pro-inflammatory genes followed by hypothalamic astrocytosis, microgliosis, and the ...

Feasibility of in vivo measurement of glucose metabolism in the mouse hypothalamus by (1) H-[(13) C] MRS at 14.1T

Bernard Lanz, Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Hongxia Lei, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

PURPOSE: Determine the feasibility of (1) H-[(13) C] MRS in the mouse hypothalamus using a 14.1T magnet. METHODS: We optimized the design of a (1) H-[(13) C] surface coil to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of (1) H-[(13) C] MRS in the mouse hypothalamus ...

Potent Prearranged Positive Allosteric Modulators of the Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor

Rosario Scopelliti, Johannes Broichhagen

Drugs that allosterically modulate G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activity display higher specificity and may improve disease treatment. However, the rational design of compounds that target the allosteric site is difficult, as conformations required fo ...

Allosteric Optical Control of a Class B G-Protein-Coupled Receptor

Johannes Broichhagen

Allosteric regulation promises to open up new therapeutic avenues by increasing drug specificity at G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, drug discovery efforts are at present hampered by an inability to precisely control the allosteric site. Herei ...

Identification of the Link Between the Hypothalamo-Pituitary Axis and the Testicular Orphan Nuclear Receptor NR0B2 in Adult Male Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

The small heterodimer partner (SHP, nuclear receptor subfamily 0, group B, member 2; NR0B2) is an atypical nuclear receptor known mainly for its role in bile acid homeostasis in the enterohepatic tract. We previously showed that NR0B2 controls testicular f ...

Lipid Receptor S1P(1) Activation Scheme Concluded from Microsecond All-Atom Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Shuguang Yuan

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a lysophospholipid mediator which activates G protein-coupled sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors and thus evokes a variety of cell and tissue responses including lymphocyte trafficking, endothelial development, integrity, an ...

An acetylation rheostat for the control of muscle energy homeostasis

Johan Auwerx, Keir Joe Menzies

In recent years, the role of acetylation has gained ground as an essential modulator of intermediary metabolism in skeletal muscle. Imbalance in energy homeostasis or chronic cellular stress, due to diet, aging, or disease, translate into alterations in th ...

Effect of manganese chloride on the neurochemical profile of the rat hypothalamus

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Nathalie Just, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu

Manganese (Mn 2+)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging studies of the neuronal pathways of the hypothalamus showed that information about the regulation of food intake and energy balance circulate through specific hypothalamic nuclei. The dehydration-induce ...

Detection of neuronal activity and metabolism in a model of dehydration-induced anorexia in rats at 14.1T using manganese-enhanced MRI and 1H MRS

Rolf Gruetter, Nathalie Just

In this study, hypothalamic activation was performed by dehydration-induced anorexia (DIA) and overnight food suppression (OFS) in female rats. The assessment of the hypothalamic response to these challenges by manganese-enhanced MRI showed increased neuro ...

Glut2-dependent glucose-sensing controls thermoregulation by enhancing the leptin sensitivity of NPY and POMC neurons

David Genoux

The physiological contribution of glucose in thermoregulation is not completely established nor whether this control may involve a regulation of the melanocortin pathway. Here, we assessed thermoregulation and leptin sensitivity of hypothalamic arcuate neu ...

Neurochemical profile of the mouse hypothalamus using in vivo1H MRS at 14.1T

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Carole Poitry-Yamate

The hypothalamus plays an essential role in the central nervous system of mammals by among others regulating glucose homeostasis, food intake, temperature, and to some extent blood pressure. Assessments of hypothalamic metabolism using, e.g. 1H MRS in mous ...

The rate-limiting step for glucose transport into the hypothalamus is across the blood–hypothalamus interface

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Carole Poitry-Yamate

Specialized glucosensing neurons are present in the hypothalamus, some of which neighbor the median eminence, where the blood–brain barrier has been reported leaky. A leaky blood–brain barrier implies high tissue glucose levels and obviates a role for endo ...
