Abstract

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.
