Abstract

[Extract] Diabetes has profound and far-reaching effects on many aspects of energy balance, hormone secretion and behaviour [1]. The hypothalamus, by virtue of its key position in controlling neuroendocrine and metabolic activities, is undoubtedly important in mediating these effects, but their mechanisms are largely unknown. A fuller understanding of the underlying neurotransmitter abnormalities will not only help to elucidate the basis of hypothalamic regulation, but may also be rewarded by the development of new treatments for several important problems in human diabetes.
