Interleukin‐6 in the central amygdala is bioactive and co‐localised with glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor

Neuronal circuits involving the central amygdala (CeA) are gaining prominence as important centres for regulation of metabolic functions. As a part of the subcortical food motivation circuitry, CeA is associated with food motivation and hunger. We have previously shown that interleukin ( IL) ‐6 can act as a downstream mediator of the metabolic effects of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 ( GLP ‐1) receptor (R) stimulation in the brain, although the sites...
