This study identifies MCT6 as an intestinal exporter of Lac-Phe, showing its role in metformin-induced weight loss and systemic metabolite regulation.

The paper identifies a conserved postprandial metabolite, pTOS, that links nutrient intake to energy balance through a gut-brain pathway in pythons and mice, with potential relevance to humans.

This study identifies a PTER inhibitor that reduces food intake and body weight in mice, linking PTER function to obesity treatment.

This study identifies a secondary BHB metabolic pathway mediated by CNDP2, leading to BHB-amino acid metabolites that regulate energy balance in mice and humans.

This study identifies PTER as the taurine N-acetyltransferase/hydrolase, showing its role in regulating N-acetyltaurine levels and linking it to energy balance and metabolic phenotypes.

This study maps the organism-wide secretome response to exercise in mice, identifying 200+ exercise-regulated protein pairs and uncovering anti-obesity and anti-diabetic roles of a liver-secreted proteoform.

This study identifies Acj6 as a transcription factor that controls dendrite targeting in Drosophila PNs by regulating combinatorial expression of cell-surface proteins.
