A new study in fruit flies identifies a molecule, Eaat2, that regulates both sleep and metabolic rate. Surprisingly, Eaat2 acts in a specific glial subtype to modulate both processes, suggesting a cellular link in the brain between sleep and metabolism.
一项新的果蝇研究发现了一种调节睡眠和代谢率的分子 Eaat2。令人惊讶的是,Eaat2 在特定的神经胶质亚型中发挥作用,调节这两个过程,这表明睡眠和代谢之间在大脑中有一个细胞联系。
