In their research, the team discovered that the hormone secretin, found within the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) of the brain, plays a vital role in controlling both energy balance and bone density.

to ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). They used optical stimulation to activate corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons ...

These project from the arcuate nucleus to other key hypothalamic nuclei, such as the paraventricular, dorsomedial, ventromedial and lateral hypothalamic nuclei. There are also projections to and ...

For sweets, the threshold for satiety, which is triggered by the human appetite center in the ventromedial hypothalamus, is higher than any other flavor stimulants — meaning we can eat many more ...

One area of investigation has been the role of the G protein-coupled lactate receptor GPR81 in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMN), a key region involved in glucose regulation. Research ...

For instance, cold-sensitive neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) have been shown to play a significant role in homeostatic thermogenesis. Activation of these neurons increases BAT ...

Specific hypothalamic nuclei, including the dorsomedial nucleus (DMN), paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and ventromedial nucleus (VMN), serve as control centers for appetite. In animals, lateral ...
