Fan W, Morrison SF, Cao WH, Yu P: Thermogenesis activated by central melanocortin signaling is dependent on neurons in the rostral raphe pallidus (rRPa) area. Brain Res. 2007 Nov 7;1179:61-9. Epub 2007 Apr 6.
To determine if neuronal activity in rRPa area is required for the central melanocortin-induced thermogenesis, we studied the effects of inhibition of the activity of neurons in the rRPa area on the sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) to IBAT evoked by lateral ventricular injection of the melanocortin 3/4 receptor (MC3/4R) agonist, MTII, in urethane-chloralose-anesthetized rats and the effects on O (2) consumption induced by third or fourth ventricular injection of MTII in conscious freely moving mice. |
