Serotonin activates 5HT2A and 5HT2C receptors, which are responsible for the control of the appetite in the POMC neurons. These neurons will secrete alpha-MSH. This hormone will stimulate the satiety center. Blood-Brain Barrier Diffusion POMC neurons Pargyline inhibits the amine oxidase B (MAO-B). This results in the decrease of the metabolism of serotonin. This inhibition results in increased levels of serotonin in the cytosol of the neurons. Hypothalamus
