Abstrakt: |
Intracerebroventricular infusion of insulin (2 mU/ day) produced selective downregulation of 3H-paraminoclonidine binding to alpha2-adrenoceptors in the hypothalamic arcuate (14%) and dorsomedial (19%) nuclei out of 16 forebrain areas in Wistar rats. Binding of 3H-prazosin to alpha1-adrenoceptors was unaffected. This is in keeping with the known effect of insulin on catecholamine and neuropeptide Y metabolism in these brain regions that play an important role in energy homeostasis. |
