This study shows that CNTF protects NPY/AgRP hypothalamic neurons from palmitate-induced inflammation and metabolic dysfunction by modulating signaling pathways and gene expression.

This study measures plasma oxytocin levels in mice across life stages, sex, and obesity using LC-MS/MS, finding higher levels in adulthood and differences in obesity between sexes.

This study identifies distinct cytotypes in metabolically relevant organs that respond to CNTF by phosphorylating STAT3, highlighting its peripheral metabolic effects.

The paper introduces MACanalyzeR, a scRNA-seq tool, to identify PPARγ-high lipid-associated macrophages in BAT that support thermogenic expansion.
