Glucose-excited POMC neurons in the ARC.

<p>(A) Hypothalamic sections containing the ARC were prepared from POMC DsRed mice (7 weeks), and POMC neurons were visualized using a fluorescent microscope. (B) Action potentials were recorded in the whole-cell current-clamp mode (injecting 10 pA depolarizing currents) in POMC neurons perfused sequentially with aCSF containing 5 mM glucose (baseline), 0.1 mM glucose, and 5 mM glucose (washout).
