Inhibition of the melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) causes generalized sensitization to anorectic agents

Naima S. Dahir, Yijun Gui, Yanan Wu, Patrick R. Sweeney, Savannah Y. Williams, Luis E. Gimenez, Tomi K. Sawyer, Stephen T. Joy, Anna K. Mapp, Roger D. Cone

This study shows that inhibiting MC3R increases sensitivity to anorectic agents like GLP1, PYY, CCK, and leptin, suggesting MC3R as a negative regulator of feeding behavior.

Cell autonomous regulation of the activation of AgRP neurons by the melanocortin-3 receptor

Yijun Gui, Naima S. Dahir, Yanan Wu, Griffin Downing, Patrick R. Sweeney, Roger D. Cone

This study shows that MC3R regulates AgRP neuron activation during fasting and cold exposure in a cell-autonomous manner, highlighting its role in energy homeostasis.
