Membrane-Impermeable Glucocorticoids Act on Membrane-Associated Receptors in the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract to Affect Hepatic VLDL-TG Secretion
FY 2023-24
Summary
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are known to regulate peripheral lipid metabolism through action on peripheral organs. However, the brain is becoming more well known for its ability to also partake in regulating lipid metabolism. GCs have been shown to act in the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS) to increase triglyceride secretion from the liver. These effects were observed in a timeframe that cannot be explained through classical genomic mechanisms. We here investigate if GCs can act via a membrane-associated receptor in the NTS affect liver lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are known to regulate peripheral lipid metabolism through action on peripheral organs. However, the brain is becoming more well known for its ability to also partake in regulating lipid metabolism. GCs have been shown to act in the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS) to increase triglyceride secretion from the liver. These effects were observed in a timeframe that cannot be explained through classical genomic mechanisms. We here investigate if GCs can act via a membrane-associated receptor in the NTS affect liver lipid metabolism.
