Impaired mTORC2 signaling in catecholaminergic neurons exaggerates high fat diet-induced hyperphagia
OBJECTIVE Food intake is highly regulated by central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms in response to peripheral and environmental cues. Neutral energy balance stems from proper integration of homeostatic signals with those "sensing" the rewarding properties of food. Impairments in brain insulin signaling causes dysregulation of feeding behaviors and, as a consequence, hyperphagia. Here, we so...
متن کاملDiet-induced obesity obstructs insulin signaling in the heart.
INSULIN RESISTANCE OCCURS frequently in people who are overweight or obese. Elucidating the mechanisms responsible for insulin resistance and defining its physiological consequences are highly relevant to understanding human disease. Impaired insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and liver are directly responsible for the development of type 2 diabetes (15). Although insulin resistance in othe...
متن کاملActivation of the peripheral endocannabinoid system in human obesity.
Obesity is the main risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Activation of the central endocannabinoid system increases food intake and promotes weight gain. Blockade of the cannabinoid type 1 (CB-1) receptor reduces body weight in animals by central and peripheral actions; the role of the peripheral endocannabinoid system in human obesity is now being extensively investigated. We me...
متن کاملMicrobial Reprogramming Inhibits Western Diet-Associated Obesity
A recent epidemiological study showed that eating 'fast food' items such as potato chips increased likelihood of obesity, whereas eating yogurt prevented age-associated weight gain in humans. It was demonstrated previously in animal models of obesity that the immune system plays a critical role in this process. Here we examined human subjects and mouse models consuming Westernized 'fast food' d...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid activation at hepatic CB1 receptors stimulates fatty acid synthesis and contributes to diet-induced obesity.
Endogenous cannabinoids acting at CB(1) receptors stimulate appetite, and CB(1) antagonists show promise in the treatment of obesity. CB(1) (-/-) mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity even though their caloric intake is similar to that of wild-type mice, suggesting that endocannabinoids also regulate fat metabolism. Here, we investigated the possible role of endocannabinoids in the regulat...
