The primary function of the hypothalamus is to link the endocrine system with the autonomic nervous system in order to maintain a state of homeostasis in the body. A small structure located above the brain stem, the hypothalamus has a complex system of inputs and outputs. These allow it to ...

In particular, the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH) and arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) are critical nuclei for the glucose metabolism. Obesity can attenuate the function of these nuclei and promotes type II diabetes via hypothalamic inflammation6. However, the hypothalamic ...

(bone structure in the base of the cranium). The pituitary gland function is to secrete hormones, under the hypothalamus command, through the blood that our body needs to maintain homeostasis (level our temperature or balance different hormones). Their relationship is so close that they form the...
Individuals with a social anxiety disorder (SAD) show hypofunctioning of the hypothalamus–pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which is linked to social fear and avoidance behavior. As testosterone administration has been shown to facilitate social-approach behavior in this population, it may enhance the ...
In addition, factors that function downstream of gonadal hormones can also contribute to sexual dimorphism in energy balance. One such example is SRC-1. SRC-1 can interact with ERα upon estrogen stimulation, and is required to mediate estrogenic actions to reduce food intake in female mice (Zh...
