Use of peptide probes to study brain regulation of glucose metabolism.
Neuropeptides may be used to stimulate or inhibit neurocircuitry involved in regulation of visceral organ function, including glucose metabolism. Through the use of different peptides with different specificities, it may be possible to characterize the neuroendocrine and autonomic pathways involved in the physiologic regulation of glucose homeostasis.
