Fraley GS (2006) Immunolesions of glucoresponsive projections to the arcuate nucleus alter glucoprivic-induced alterations in food intake, luteinizing hormone secretion, and GALP mRNA, but not sex behavior in adult male rats. Neuroendocrinology 83(2):97-105. doi: 10.1159/000094375
Summary: In this work the author looked at the role hypothalamic glucose may play in reproductive function. 42 ng of anti-DBH-SAP (Cat. #IT-03) was injected dorsal of the arcuate nucleus of rats, which were then given glucoprivic challenges. Feeding and sex behavior were decreased during glucoprivation; sex behavior was also decreased in control animals. The data demonstrate the involvement of A1/C1 efferents to the ventromedial hypothalamus in glucostatic regulation of various processes.
