Neuro-anatomy of homeostaticregulation of foodintake; opposing actions of AgRP/NPY and POMC/CART containingneurons
Increased concentration of glucose in the blood, after a meal, leads to increased ATP production in the pancreatic b-cell and this in turnreduces K+ outflow, leading to membrane depolarisation. The subsequent C2+ entry constitutes the secretion signal
Release of insulin in response to glucose leads to glucose uptake and storage in the form of glycogen (in muscle and liver)

P110 PI 3-kinase ATP Molecular structure of PI 3-kinase
PI 3-kinase products(relevant to insulinsignallingis the production of PI-3,4,5-P3
A downstreameffector of PI 3-kinase is the protein kinase PKB PDK2 : phosphatidyl inositol-dependent protein kinase 2 was so named because the identity was unclear. It is now generally agreed that the mTOR/Rictor complex provides the initial phosphorylation
PKB phosphorylates FOXO1 and thisprevents if fromgoinginto the nucleus
Loss of FoxO1 in the nuclearleads to increased POMC and reducedAgRP expression
PKB stimulates the mTORpathway, whichalsoprovides a anorectic signal (via an as yetunclearpathway)
mTORis a hugeatypicalprotein kinase of whichstill a lot has to belearned
A lack of glucose blocks the mTOR-mediatedanorectic signal. This occursthrough an increase of 5’-AMP whichisproduced in a « rescue » pathwaywheretwo ADP are combined to raise the level of ATP
