Various humoral factors are involved in the regulation of energy and glucose metabolism mediated by the interaction between the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Insulin, which strictly regulates glucose metabolism in the liver, skeletal muscles, and adipose tissue, also plays a role in brain-mediated regulation of energy and glucose metabolism. Through the hypothalamus, insulin regulates not only diet intake and postprandial thermogenesis, but also glucose metabolism in the liver and skeletal muscles. Insulin exerts its action on the liver via the vagus nerve by activating phosphoinositide-3-kinase and KATPchannels in the hypothalamic neurons. Central insulin action enhances the secretion of interleukin-6 from hepatic Kupffer cells and activates the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which suppresses the expression of gluconeogenic enzyme genes in hepatocytes and thereby reducies hepatic glucose production. Brain-mediated suppression of hepatic glucose production also arises from an increase in the plasma histidine level. Histidine is converted to histamine in the hypothalamus, which activates hepatic STAT3 and thereby suppresses the expression of gluconeogenic enzyme genes via hypothalamic histamine H1 receptors. In obesity and type 2 diabetes, suppression of hepatic glucose production by central insulin action is impaired, potentially increasing hepatic glucose production. However, further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between the central nervous system and peripheral tissues.
