Researchers have observed the absence of a specific type of neuron in the brain can lead to obesity and diabetes in mice. The report in the iEMBO Journal/i says the outcome, however, depends on the type of diet that the animals are fed. A lack of AgRP-neurons, brain cells known to be involved in the control of food intake, leads to obesity if mice are fed a regular carbohydrate diet. However, animals that are deficient in AgRP-neurons but which are raised on ...Wednesday 19 September 2012
Onset of Obesity and Diabetes Influenced by Brain Neurons and Diet in Mice Study
Researchers have observed the absence of a specific type of neuron in the brain can lead to obesity and diabetes in mice. The report in the iEMBO Journal/i says the outcome, however, depends on the type of diet that the animals are fed. A lack of AgRP-neurons, brain cells known to be involved in the control of food intake, leads to obesity if mice are fed a regular carbohydrate diet.
