Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Brain Insulin Receptor in Control of Body Weight and Reproduction

TL;DR: Mice created with a neuron-specific disruption of the IR gene showed increased food intake, and both male and female mice developed diet-sensitive obesity with increases in body fat and plasma leptin levels, mild insulin resistance, elevated plasma insulin levels, and hypertriglyceridemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inactivation of the Fto gene protects from obesity

TL;DR: These experiments provide the first direct demonstration that Fto is functionally involved in energy homeostasis by the control of energy expenditure, and leads to postnatal growth retardation and a significant reduction in adipose tissue and lean body mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-10 signaling in regulatory T cells Is required for suppression of Th17 cell-mediated inflammation

TL;DR: It is shown that anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 (IL-10), and not proinflammatory IL-6 and IL-23 cytokine signaling, endowed Treg cells with the ability to suppress pathogenic Th17 cell responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Agouti-related peptide-expressing neurons are mandatory for feeding.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that induced selective ablation of AgRP-expressing neurons in adult mice results in acute reduction of feeding, demonstrating direct evidence for a critical role of these neurons in the regulation of energy homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin Receptor Signaling in Osteoblasts Regulates Postnatal Bone Acquisition and Body Composition

TL;DR: The results indicate the existence of a bone-pancreas endocrine loop through which insulin signaling in the osteoblasts ensures osteoblast differentiation and stimulates osteocalcin production, which in turn regulates insulin sensitivity and pancreatic insulin secretion.
