Intranasal insulin enhances brain functional connectivity mediating the relationship between adiposity and subjective feeling of hunger

Abstract Brain insulin sensitivity is an important link between metabolism and cognitive dysfunction. Intranasal insulin is a promising tool to investigate central insulin action in humans. We evaluated the acute effects of 160 U intranasal insulin on resting-state brain functional connectivity in h...
