Central MC4R pathways are well established as integrators of peripheral signals in the control of energy balance. In this issue, Panaro et al. (2014) identify that MC4Rs expressed on intestinal enteroendocrine L cells regulate PYY and GLP-1 secretion, two gut hormones implicated in the regulation of energy and glucose homeostasis.
中央 MC4R 通路在外周信号整合中对能量平衡的控制中起着重要作用。在本期杂志中,Panaro 等人(2014)发现,肠道内分泌 L 细胞上表达的 MC4R 调节 PYY 和 GLP-1 的分泌,这两种肠道激素与能量和葡萄糖稳态的调节有关。
