It integrates inputs from peripheral signals like nutrients and hormones, modulating metabolism-related activities such as food intake, energy expenditure, and insulin secretion. Disturbances in this regulation can lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes. Understanding the neural pathways involved could aid in developing treatments for these conditions.
