Association between pharmacological activity, central and peripheral levels of metabolic regulation.

Effects
Central Peripheral
D2/3 antagonism ↑ Food intake ↑ Insulin secretion
↑hypohalamic AMPK ↑ Proliferation and survival of beta cells
↑EPS Deplete insulin stores (chronic)
↑ Catecholamine release
↑ Prolactin
5-HT1 partial agonism ↓ Food intake ↓ Insulin secretion
↓ EPS ↓ Glucose uptake (adipose tissue)
↓ Prolactin
5-HT2A antagonism ↑Food intake ↓ Insulin secretion
↓ EPS ↑ Hepatic insulin sensitivity
↓ Prolactin ↓ Glucose uptake (skeletal muscle)
↓Adipose tissue lipogenesis
5-HT2C antagonism ↑ Food intake ↑ Insulin secretion(?)
ANS disruption
H1 antagonism ↑ Food intake ↓ Hepatic insulin sensitivity
↑ hypothalamic AMPK ↓ Glucose uptake (adipose tissue, skeletal muscle)
↑ Sedation ↑ Adipose tissue lipogenesis
ANS disruption ↑ Fructose absorption
↑ Atherosclerosis
M3 antagonism ↑ Food intake ↓ Insulin secretion
↓ EPS ↓ Adipose tissue lipogenesis
ANS disruption ↓ Glucose uptake (skeletal muscle)
alpha1 antagonism ↑ Food intake ↓ Hepatic insulin sensitivity
↑ hypothalamic AMPK ↓ Peripheral vascular resistance
↑ Sedation ↓ Glucose uptake (adipose tissue, skeletal muscle)
ANS disruption
alpha2 antagonism ↓ Food intake ↑ Insulin secretion
