Neurons expressing Agouti-related protein (AgRP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the hypothalamus are involved in regulation of feeding and body weight, but genetic disruption of AgRP and NPY have little effect on energy homeostasis. A new study from Tong
et al
. shows that the energy homeostasis function is mediated through their GABAergic trans...
