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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
