This study shows that the FAAH C385A polymorphism exacerbates hormone-mediated feeding in mice under specific environmental conditions, affecting metabolic outcomes.

The paper shows that disrupting tonic endocannabinoid signaling increases HPA axis activation by enhancing CRH neuron activity in the PVN, leading to stress-like behaviors and elevated corticosterone.

This study identifies FKBP51 as a molecular switch linking autophagy to metabolism in the mediobasal hypothalamus, showing its role in obesity regulation.
