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 ...
Hypothalamic endocannabinoids in obesity: an old story with new challenges
(Springer, 2021)
The crucial role of the hypothalamus in the pathogenesis of obesity is widely recognized, while the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms involved are the focus of intense research. A disrupted ...
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 ...
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 ...
