This study shows FoxO1 in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) influences metabolic adaptation to diet and temperature, with effects specific to female mice.

This study shows that estrogen signaling through ER and ERβ in 5-HTDRN neurons influences binge drinking behavior in mice, with ER agonists reducing alcohol-induced neuronal activity and binge drinking.

This study identifies α-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) as a metabolite that promotes muscle hypertrophy and fat loss via OXGR1-dependent adrenal activation in response to resistance exercise.
