Ciliary neurotrophic factor curbs palmitate-induced inflammatory and metabolic changes in NPY/AgRP hypothalamic neurons

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

Plasma oxytocin measured by LC-MS/MS varies with life stage, sex, and obesity in mice

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.

The ciliary neurotrophic factor induces Stat3 phosphorylation in distinctive cytotypes of organs involved in body metabolism: an immunohistochemical study

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