Glucose homeostasis requires an organism to rapidly respond to changes in plasma
glucose concentrations. Iatrogenic hypoglycemia as a result of treatment with insulin or …

There is a well-established literature linking obesity to altered dopamine signaling and brain
response to food-related stimuli. Neuroimaging studies frequently report enhanced …

The brain is emerging as an important regulator of systemic glucose metabolism.
Accumulating data from animal and observational human studies suggest that striatal …

Glucose-sensing neurons are neurons that alter their activity in response to changes in
extracellular glucose. These neurons, which are an important mechanism the brain uses to …

Most peripheral serotonin (5-HT) is synthesized in enterochromaffin cells, and most
circulating 5-HT is stored in platelets. As a monoamine, 5-HT has several functions in …

Objective To review the clinical presentation, causes, and diagnostic approach to
spontaneous hypoglycemia in adults without diabetes mellitus. Methods A literature review …

The background of feeding associated and metabolic diseases is not sufficiently understood
yet. Since gustatory alterations may be of particular significance in the above illnesses, in …

Mounting evidence demonstrates that the central nervous system (CNS) orchestrates
glucose homeostasis by sensing glucose and modulating peripheral metabolism. Glucose …

Variations in brain responses to sensory stimuli are typically considered to lack information
content and treated as “noise”. Alternatively, variable response patterns may reflect the …

Overconsumption of sugar contributes to obesity in part by changing the activity of brain
areas that drive the motivation to seek out and consume food. Sugar-sweetened beverages …
