A Molecular Dissection of the Ventromedial Hypothalamic Nucleus
<p>The ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) plays an important role in the regulation of food intake, glucose metabolism, and body weight. However, in contrast to other hypothalamic nuclei that are also known to regulate energy homeostasis, there is a paucity of nucleus-specific marker genes for …

The effects of chronic electrical stimulation of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus in the rat.
… in body growth following repeated exposure to ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) stimulation. In the first experiment, body weight, food intake, and epididymal fat pad weight were evaluated in three groups of rats receiving either VMH stimulation, no stimulation (implanted control), or stimulation …

Loss of Ventromedial Hypothalamic Leptin Receptors Results in Increased Adiposity and a Metabolic Syndrome
… The leptin receptor is expressed in a number of hypothalamic nuclei known to play a role in energy homeostasis. While much work has focused on leptin's actions in the arcuate nucleus, other sites have received substantially less attention. Here, I report that mice lacking leptin receptors within …

Identification of central circuitry components mediating anorexigenic properties of oxytocin
… actions of OT is limited. Thus far, only the nucleus accumbens and ventral tegmental area of the mesolimbic system, and the brainstem’s dorsal vagal complex, have been directly implicated in relaying OT-induced hypophagia. Thus, the overarching goal of this thesis was to examine which discrete …
