Galanin Receptor-Mediated Inhibition of Glutamate Release in the Arcuate Nucleus of the Hypothalamus [PDF]
It is thought that galanin, a 29 amino acid neuropeptide, is involved in various neuronal functions, including the regulation of food intake and hormone release. Consistent with this idea, galanin receptors have been demonstrated throughout the brain, with high levels being observed in the hypothalamus.

Mapping neuronal inputs to Kiss1 neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the mouse.
The normal function of the mammalian reproductive axis is strongly influenced by physiological, metabolic and environmental factors. Kisspeptin neuropeptides, encoded by the Kiss1 gene, are potent regulators of the mammalian reproductive axis by ...

mTOR signaling in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus mediates the anorectic action of estradiol [PDF]
Current evidence suggests that estradiol (E2), the main ovarian steroid, modulates energy balance by regulating both feeding and energy expenditure at the central level, through the energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). We hypothesized that the hypothalamic mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, a well-established nutrient sensor ...

Kisspeptin Neurons in the Arcuate Nucleus of the Hypothalamus Orchestrate Circadian Rhythms and Metabolism [PDF]
Successful reproduction in female mammals is precisely timed and must be able to withstand the metabolic demand of pregnancy and lactation. We show that kisspeptin-expressing neurons in the arcuate hypothalamus (Kiss1ARH) of female mice control the daily timing of food intake, along with the circadian regulation of locomotor activity, sleep, and core ...

Cardiovascular Regulation by the Arcuate Nucleus of the Hypothalamus [PDF]
The importance of the central nervous system in cardiovascular regulation is well established.1,2 The brain is able to sense changes that occur in the peripheral circulation through several mechanisms, including afferent neural reflexes and humoral signals.

Ultraviolet B stimulates proopiomelanocortin signalling in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus in mice [PDF]
AbstractWe previously found that ultraviolet B (UVB) could stimulate the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) with activation the systemic hypothalamic–pituitary– adrenal (HPA) axis. To investigate whether UVB can also stimulate other hypothalamic nuclei, we tested its effect on the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) related signalling system in the arcuate nucleus ...

Amylin acts in the area postrema (AP) and arcuate nucleus (ARC) to control food intake. Amylin also increases axonal fiber outgrowth from the AP→nucleus tractus solitarius and from ARC→hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus. More recently, exogenous amylin

A critical period for the trophic actions of leptin on AgRP neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus [PDF]
AbstractIn the developing hypothalamus, the fat‐derived hormone leptin stimulates the growth of axons from the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) to other regions that control energy balance. These projections are significantly reduced in leptin deficient (Lepob/ob) mice and this phenotype is largely rescued by neonatal leptin treatments ...

Leptin Modulates the Intrinsic Excitability of AgRP/NPY Neurons in the Arcuate Nucleus of the Hypothalamus [PDF]
The hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARH) is a brain region critical for regulation of food intake and a primary area for the action of leptin in the CNS. In lean mice, the adipokine leptin inhibits neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neuronal activity, resulting in decreased food intake.

Conditional Deletion of the Prolactin Receptor Reveals Functional Subpopulations of Dopamine Neurons in the Arcuate Nucleus of the Hypothalamus [PDF]
UNLABELLED: Tuberoinfundibular dopamine (TIDA) neurons, known as neuroendocrine regulators of prolactin secretion from the pituitary gland, also release GABA within the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus.
