Abstract
Ghrelin is an orexigenic hormone produced by the stomach. Our previous studies showed that ghrelin affects neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and that ghrelin activates GABAergics neurons in the PVN that, in turn, inhibit anorexigenic neurons, such as the neurons that express corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH). The present study aims to assess the participation o…
