Hormone Regulation of NPY Neuron Activity in the Arcuate Nucleus of the Hypothalamus
Neuropeptide Y (NPY)-expressing neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus are part of a neuroendocrine feedback loop that regulates feeding behavior and glucose homeostasis. NPY neurons sense peripheral signals of energy stores, including the hormones leptin, insulin, and ghrelin, and …

The Identification of a Leptin Dependent Neural Pathway Regulating Adipose Tissue Innervation
… by the adipose tissue, is an afferent signal of a negative feedback loop that regulates body weight balance through its effects on feeding and energy expenditure. Mutations in the leptin gene or its cognate receptor result in severe obesity in both human and mice. My thesis work revealed a …
