Langlet et al., Cell Metab, 17:607-617, 2013


Conclusion<br />

• Fasting induces the plasticity of brain<br />

barriers in hypothalamic feeding regions<br />

• Central neuroglucopenia triggers bloodhypothalamus<br />

barrier plasticity<br />

• Fasting-induced brain barrier plasticity<br />

requires VEGF-A expression in tanycytes<br />

• The tanycytic barrier modulates bloodborne<br />

signals access to CNS feeding<br />

circuits<br />
