Identification of the ghrelin and cannabinoid CB2 receptor heteromer functionality and marked upregulation in striatal neurons from offspring of mice under a high-fat diet
(MDPI, 2021)
Cannabinoids have been reported as orexigenic, i.e., as promoting food intake that, among others, is controlled by the so-called “hunger” hormone, ghrelin. The aim of this paper was to look for functional ...
Current challenges for targeting brown fat thermogenesis to combat obesity
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-10-27)
Just over a decade has passed since metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) was unequivocally identified in healthy adult humans. Since then, researchers have provided evidence of expression of ...
Pomace olive oil concentrated in triterpenic acids restores vascular function, glucose tolerance and obesity progression in mice
(MDPI, 2020-01)
Pomace olive oil, an olive oil sub-product, is a promising source of bioactive triterpenoids such as oleanolic acid and maslinic acid. Considering the vascular actions of pomace olive oil and the potential ...
Association between kidney function, nutritional status and anthropometric measures in older people: the screening for CKD among older people across Europe (SCOPE) study
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-02)
Background: Different mechanisms connect the nutritional status with the occurrence and the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The end-stage renal disease is complicated by catabolic inflammatory ...
Editorial: current challenges for targeting brown fat thermogenesis to combat obesity
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-27)
Just over a decade has passed since metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) was unequivocally identified in healthy adult humans. Since then, researchers have provided evidence of expression of ...
Targeting carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 isoforms in the hypothalamus: a promising strategy to regulate energy balance
(John Wiley & Sons, 2023)
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 ...
New insights of SF1 neurons in hypothalamic regulation of obesity and diabetes
(MDPI, 2021)
Despite the substantial role played by the hypothalamus in the regulation of energy balance and glucose homeostasis, the exact mechanisms and neuronal circuits underlying this regulation remain poorly ...
Central regulation of brown fat thermogenesis in response to saturated or unsaturated long-chain fatty acids
(MDPI, 2023)
Sensing of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) in the hypothalamus modulates energy balance, and its disruption leads to obesity. To date, the effects of saturated or unsaturated LCFA on hypothalamic-brown ...
Liver CPT1A gene therapy reduces diet‐induced hepatic steatosis in mice and highlights potential lipid biomarkers for human NAFLD
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020)
The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has increased drastically due to the global obesity pandemic but at present there are no approved therapies. Here, we aimed to revert high‐fat ...
Hypothalamic regulation of obesity
(MDPI, 2021)
Obesity has now reached pandemic proportions and represents a major socioeconomic and health problem in our societies. Up to now, obesity has been considered a medical issue only in high-income countries, ...
