Central dopamine D2 receptors regulate plasma glucose levels in mice through autonomic nerves

Abstract Recent evidence suggests that the central nervous system (CNS) regulates plasma glucose levels, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. The present study investigated the role of dopaminergic function in the CNS in regulation of plasma glucose levels in mice. I.c.v. injection of neither th...
