Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2006 Jun;26(6):1297-302. Epub 2006 Apr 6.

The Kv channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP; 2 mmol/L) increased perfusion pressure less in SHR MB than WKY and was directly correlated with the mesenteric fat amount.
Plasma and mesenteric leptin were correlated with the quantity of mesenteric fat.

Here we show that rat ARC neurons containing neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRP), which are conditional pacemakers, are activated by orexigens and inhibited by the anorexigen leptin.
