Abstract
The ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH) is a central region known to maintain glucose homeostasis. Toda et al. (2016) unravel a new mechanism underlying VMH-dependent regulation of systemic glucose homeostasis via uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2)-mediated control of mitochondrial dynamics and activation of glucose-excited neurons.
