Neuronal activity-driven O-GlcNAcylation promotes mitochondrial plasticity

Seungyoon B. Yu, Haoming Wang, Richard G. Sánchez, Natasha M. Carlson, Khanh Quynh Nguyen, Andrew J. Zhang, Zachary D. Papich, Ahmed A. Abushawish, Zachary D. Whiddon, Weronika Matysik, Jie Zhang, Thomas C. Whisenant, Majid Ghassemian, John N. Koberstein, Melissa L. Stewart, , Gülçin Pekkurnaz

This study shows that neuronal activity increases mitochondrial O-GlcNAcylation, which helps neurons meet energy demands based on fuel availability.

The attenuation of activity-based anorexia by obese adipose tissue transplant is AgRP neuron-dependent.

Dongmin J. Yoon, Jie Zhang, Rizaldy C. Zapata, Martina Ulivieri, Avraham M. Libster, Matthew Stephen McMurray, Olivia Osborn, Stephanie C. Dulawa

This study shows that obese adipose tissue transplants reduce weight loss in anorexia-like behavior in mice, and this effect depends on AgRP neurons.
