The paper functionally characterizes 26RFa/orexin neurons in the lateral hypothalamic area and finds they regulate glucose homeostasis through coordinated neuropeptidergic signaling.

This study identifies PTH1R signaling in AgRP neurons as a mechanism controlling feeding behavior and nutrient partitioning through distinct kinase activation and lipophagic processes.

This study shows that postprandial hypertriglyceridemia activates microglia to promote satiety via an ASC-dependent signaling pathway, which is sexually dimorphic and disrupted in obesity.

This study shows that yo-yo dieting in mice causes lasting gut microbiota changes and alters brain function, leading to increased hedonic eating behavior.

The paper investigates how high-fat diet exposure increases hypothalamic inflammation and glial cell activity in mice, linking it to potential obesity risk.
