If a researcher selectively inhibited GLP-1 receptor signaling in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, which consequence follows regarding appetite regulation?

💡 Explanation

GLP-1 receptor activation in the arcuate nucleus promotes satiety and reduces appetite. Therefore, inhibiting GLP-1 signaling in this brain region results in increased appetite because satiety signals are diminished, rather than other effects on insulin or gastric function.
