Resumen
Tackling the growing incidence and prevalence of obesity urgently requires uncovering new molecular pathways with therapeutic potential. The brain, and in particular the hypothalamus, is a major integrator of metabolic signals from peripheral tissues that regulate functions such as feeding behavior and energy expenditure. In obesity, hypothalamic capacity to sense nutritional status and regulate these functions is altered. An emerging line of research is that hypothalamic lipid metabolism plays a critical role in regulating energy balance. Here, we focus on the carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) enzyme family responsible for long-chain fatty acid metabolism. The evidence suggests that two of its isoforms expressed in the brain, CPT1A and CPT1C, play a crucial role in hypothalamic lipid metabolism, and their promise as targets in food intake and bodyweight management is currently being intensively investigated. In this review we describe and discuss the metabolic actions and potential up- and downstream effectors of hypothalamic CPT1 isoforms, and posit the need to develop innovative nanomedicine platforms for selective targeting of CPT1 and related nutrient sensors in specific brain areas as potential next-generation therapy to treat obesity.
