This study shows cold exposure increases energy expenditure and limits weight gain in both lean and obese mice, regardless of diet.

This study shows that early high-fat diet exposure in mice impairs hippocampal and brown adipose tissue mitochondrial function, leading to cognitive deficits without obesity or depressive-like behavior.

This study shows that exposure to the obesogen tributyltin causes heritable changes in chromatin structure in germ cells, leading to transgenerational obesity in male offspring.

This study compares the effects of GQ-16, a PPARγ partial agonist, and pioglitazone, a PPARγ full agonist, in treating nephrotic syndrome in rats, finding that GQ-16 reduces proteinuria and co-morbidities with fewer adipogenic side effects.
