This study shows estrogen signaling in Reprimo lineage cells affects thermoregulation in female mice by altering brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, but not in males.

This study identifies TNSST neurons in mice that modulate feeding behavior based on metabolic and reproductive states, with effects dependent on body mass and estrogen levels.

The paper investigates how DNA methylation and demethylation influence sex differences in estrogen receptor alpha (ER) cell numbers in the arcuate nucleus of mice, finding that these epigenetic mechanisms regulate ER expression differently in males and females.

This study shows that adolescent-onset methamphetamine self-administration in rats leads to increased drug intake and deficits in object-in-place recognition memory, with no changes in receptor expression.
