Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mice that lack insulin receptors in the brain show obesity, as insulin in the brain plays a critical role in regulating feeding behavior and energy expenditure. Mice without insulin receptors in their gut, on the other hand, exhibit enhanced thermogenesis and are resistant to obesity, indicating that insulin signaling in the gut has the opposite effect.
