Body temperature regulates glucose metabolism and torpid

M.-l. Lee, C.-P. Chang, C. Toda, T. Nemoto, R. Enoki

This study shows that body temperature, not ambient temperature, strongly regulates glucose metabolism and behavior in QIH mice, with hypometabolism being secondary to hypothermia.

Expectation for sweet taste changes peripheral glucose metabolism via basolateral amygdala

I. Yamamoto, T. Yonekura, T. Ishimoto, S.-C. Xu, N. Iijima, K. Kimura, S. Diano, C. Toda

The paper identifies BLA neurons that encode expected sweet taste and unmet expectation, showing they regulate peripheral glucose metabolism through distinct mechanisms.

Activation of prodynorphin neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus inhibits food intake and promotes positive valence

D. Imoto, I. Yamamoto, H. Matsunaga, T. Yonekura, M.-L. Lee, K. X. KATO, T. Yamasaki, K.-i. Otsuguro, M. Horiuchi, N. Iijima, K. Kimura, C. Toda

The paper identifies refeeding-responsive neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus that reduce food intake and enhance positive valence when activated.

Prostaglandin in the ventromedial hypothalamus regulates peripheral glucose metabolism

M.-L. Lee, H. Matsunaga, Y. Sugiura, T. Hayasaka, I. Yamamoto, D. Imoto, M. Suematsu, N. Iijima, K. Kimura, S. Diano, C. Toda

This study shows that cPLA2-mediated phospholipid metabolism in the VMH regulates glucose metabolism under RCD but worsens it under HFD through changes in insulin sensitivity and inflammation.
