Activation of Hindbrain Neurons Is Mediated by Portal-Mesenteric Vein Glucosensors During Slow-Onset Hypoglycemia
MaryAnn Bohland, Aleksey V. Matveyenko, Maziyar Saberi, Arshad M. Khan, Alan G. Watts, and Casey M. Donovan Hypoglycemic detection at the portal-mesenteric vein (PMV) appears mediated by spinal afferents and is critical for the counter-regulatory response (CRR) to slow-onset, butApr 18, 2014 | 0 comments | View Post

The Rate of Fall of Blood Glucose Determines The Necessity of Forebrain-Projecting Catecholaminergic Neurons for Male Rat Sympathoadrenal Responses
Anne J. Jokiaho, Casey M. Donovan and Alan G. Watts Different onset rates of insulin-induced hypoglycemia use distinct glucosensors to activate sympathoadrenal counterregulatory responses (CCRs). Glucosensory elements in the portal-mesenteric veins are dispensable with faster rates when brain elements predominate,Apr 18, 2014 | 0 comments | View Post
