What Does CART Stand For?
CART stands for Cocaine And Amphetamine Regulated Transcript
CART, or Cocaine And Amphetamine Regulated Transcript, is a peptide that plays a critical role in the regulation of energy balance and reward pathways in the brain. It is produced in response to the use of stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines, influencing behaviors related to feeding, stress responses, and addiction. CART is implicated in various physiological processes, including appetite regulation and neuroendocrine function, making it a significant focus of research in neurobiology and obesity studies.
