Neuronal control of peripheral insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
Open accessAbstract
The central nervous system (CNS) has an important role in the regulation of peripheral insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. Research in this dynamically developing field has progressed rapidly due to techniques allowing targeted transgenesis and neurocircuitry mapping, which have defined the primary responsive neurons, associated molecular mechanisms and downstream neurocircuitries and processes involved. Here we review the brain regions, neurons and molecular mechanisms by which the CNS controls peripheral glucose metabolism, particularly via regulation of liver, brown adipose tissue and pancreatic function, and highlight the potential implications of these regulatory pathways in type 2 diabetes and obesity. The brain controls peripheral glucose metabolism, for example by modulating hepatic gluconeogenesis or by regulating glucose uptake into brown adipose tissue. Here, the authors review the brain regions, neurons and molecular mechanisms involved in these processes, and discuss their relevance to disease.

Insulin action in the hypothalamus has a crucial role in the modulation of whole-body glucose metabolism.
“In line with experimental evidence from animals30, previous correlational findings from humans indicate a crucial role of insulin action in the hypothalamus for the modulation of whole-body glucose metabolism3,4.”
From Brain insulin action on peripheral insulin sensitivity in women depends on menstrual cycle phase (2023) · cites this paper as [30]
The section ‘Of mice and men: IR signalling in the human brain’ reports that improved whole-body insulin sensitivity after intranasal insulin correlated with increased hypothalamic activity in humans. It describes a hypothalamic mechanism as possible, however, and says the studies do not definitively establish a physiological role for endogenous insulin in the human brain. The claim’s ‘crucial role’ is stronger than that human evidence supports. (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
