What is it about?
Tanycytes are radial- glial cells that detect glucose and release metabolic substrates for regulating the activity of anorexigenic and orexigenic neurons

Why is it important?
En esta revisión se abordan los principales mecanismos que pueden estar involucrados en la detección de glucosa para regular la ingesta alimenticia, con énfasis en los recientes descubrimientos que apoyan un rol de los tanycytes en este mecanismo
Perspectives
We hope that the information gathered will support the creation of knowledge to understand the mechanisms that regulate hypothalamic responses to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia
