Brain lipid sensing and nervous control of energy balance

Abstract

Nutrient sensitive neurons (glucose and fatty acids (FA)) are present in many sites throughout the brain, including the hypothalamus and brainstem, and play a key role in the neural control of energy and glucose homeostasis. Through neuronal output, FA may modulate feeding behaviour as well as both insulin secretion and action. For example, central administration of oleate inhibits food intake and glucose production in rats. This suggests that daily variations in plasma FA concentrations might be detected by the central nervous system as a signal which contributes to the regulation of energy balance. At the cellular level, subpopulations of neurons in the ventromedial and arcuate hypothalamic nuclei are selectively either inhibited or activated by FA. Possible molecular effectors of these FA effects likely include chloride or potassium ion channels. While intracellular metabolism and activation of the ATP-sensitive K(+) channel appear to be necessary for some of the signaling effects of FA, at least half of the FA responses in ventromedial hypothalamic neurons are mediated by interaction with FAT/CD36, a FA transporter/receptor that does not require intracellular metabolism to activate downstream signaling. Thus, FA or their metabolites can modulate neuronal activity as a means of directly monitoring ongoing fuel availability by brain nutrient-sensing neurons involved in the regulation of energy and glucose homeostasis. Besides these physiological effects, FA overload or metabolic dysfunction might impair neural control of energy homeostasis and contribute to obesity and/or type 2 diabetes in predisposed subjects.

  • The presence of such small but functional fatty acid oxidation could be explained by its essential role in neuronal fatty acid turnover and its action as a lipid-sensing mediator for energy homeostasis.

    “Additionally, the presence of such small, but functional FAO could be explained by its essential role in neuronal FA turnover and its action as a lipid-sensing mediator for energy homeostasis ([113](#B113)).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
