Noradrenergic inhibition of definitive POMC neurons through direct and indirect mechanisms

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Norepinephrine and the α2‐adrenoceptor agonist UK 14,304 robustly inhibit definitive arcuate POMC neurons. Direct inhibition is mediated by ADRA2A‐dependent activation of potassium conductances, while additional indirect mechanisms also contribute. In vivo, inducible POMC‐specific Adra2a deletion minimally affects energy balance and modestly impairs ...
