Abstract

The regulation of glucose metabolism is complex and involves control through hormonal, neuroendocrine, and nutritional factors. Besides the well-known glucoregulatory effects of hormones such as insulin, glucagon, and cortisol, modulation of plasma glucose and insulin also occurs through central and peripheral serotonin signaling. The effects are serotonin receptor-specific, differ between species, and are dependent on the metabolic condition.
