Identification of GK and GKRP isoforms expressed in tanycytes.
A, GK sequences were amplified by RT-PCR using primers that were specific for pancreatic GK (856 bp; top panel), liver GK (388 bp; middle panel), and β-actin (353 bp; bottom panel).

Neurodevelopmental origin and adult neurogenesis of the neuroendocrine hypothalamus
The adult hypothalamus regulates many physiological functions and homeostatic loops, including growth, feeding and reproduction. In mammals, the hypothalamus derives from the ventral diencephalon where two distinct ventricular proliferative zones have ...

Amino acid sensing in hypothalamic tanycytes via umami taste receptors [PDF]
Energy homeostasis is controlled in the hypothalamus. Hypothalamic tanycytes are a type of glial cell that lie in the wall of the third ventricle, between ventricular CSF and the key nuclei controlling feeding, and are potentially linked to this ...

Background: Circumventricular organs (CVOs) are specialized structures border the brain ventricles and lack the blood-brain barrier. These CVOs are lined by specialized ependymal cells (ECs) called tanycyte.

Hypothalamic Tanycytes Are an ERK-Gated Conduit for Leptin into the Brain
SummaryLeptin secreted by adipocytes acts on the brain to reduce food intake by regulating neuronal activity in the mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH). Obesity is associated with resistance to high circulating leptin levels.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Pathophysiology: Integrating Systemic, CNS and Circadian Processes
The conceptualization of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has primarily focused on hormonal alterations driven by changes within the hypothalamus and ovarian granulosa cells, with treatment by the contraceptive pill and weight loss.
