NPY/AgRP neurons respond to baclofen, a GABAB agonist. A: baclofen elicits a concentration-dependent outward current in NPY/AgRP neurons, reaching its maximum effectiveness at ∼30 μM. B: intact male and hypoestrogenic female NPY/AgRP neurons show a statistically similar EC50 to baclofen of 4.3 and 4.7 μM, respectively. C: baclofen reversibly hyperpolarizes NPY/AgRP cells, inhibiting firing. D: I-V relationships before and after application of 10 μM baclofen shows a reversal near the calculated EK.
