Rapid inhibition of neural excitability in the nucleus tractus solitarii by leptin: implications for ingestive behaviour

The fat-derived peptide leptin regulates cellular activity in areas of the CNS related to feeding, and application of leptin to the fourth ventricle or the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) inhibits food intake and weight gain. The hypothesis that leptin modulates cellular activity in the NTS was test...
