Estradiol Regulates Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis via Hypothalamic AMPK

Estrogens play a major role in the modulation of energy balance through central and peripheral actions. Here, we demonstrate that central action of estradiol (E2) inhibits AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) through estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) selectively in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypotha...
