explain the humoral response in more detail ( of the metabolic homeostasis in reponse to increased leptin levels)
Humoral response
- Leptin stimulates the αMSH/CART neurones in ARH
- These neurones stimulate the PVN to release the hypophysiotropic hormones TSH/ACTH into the circulation to act on thyroid and adrenal glands to raise metabolic rate in body
