Really excited to share our new bioRxiv preprint! 🎉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... In this study, we dissect the roles of GIPR neurons in two adjacent brainstem nuclei, the area postrema (AP) and nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), and show that they have opposing effects on feeding.

Brain-Derived GLP-1—Understanding the Physiological Function and Anti-obesity Potential of Preproglucagon Neurons

Abstract. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced within the central nervous system (CNS) by preproglucagon (PPG) neurons. This brain-derived GLP-1, ra
