Abstract:Rationale
Both the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) and the neuropeptide, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), are thought to be involved in food intake. Importantly, PACAP is expressed in cells of the PVT.
Objectives
To determine if PACAP in cells of the PVT might mediate some of the involvement of the PVT with palatable food intake.
Methods
In male and female C57BL/6 J mice and … Show more
