Monitoring FoxO1 localization in chemically identified neurons.

TL;DR: A reporter mouse for monitoring PI3K-Akt signaling in specific populations of neurons, based on FoxO1 nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, is developed and found that insulin treatment resulted in the nuclear exclusion of FoxO 1GFP within POMC and AgRP neurons in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of Leptin Resistance by Activation of cAMP-Epac Signaling

TL;DR: It is found that elevation of adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate levels impairs multiple signaling cascades activated by leptin within the hypothalamus, and activation of hypothalamic cAMP-Epac pathway is sufficient to induce multiple indices of leptin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

PANIC-ATTAC: A Mouse Model for Inducible and Reversible β-Cell Ablation

TL;DR: The PANIC-ATTAC mouse may be used as an animal model of inducible and reversible β- cell ablation and therefore has applications in many areas of diabetes research that include identification of β-cell precursors, evaluation of glucotoxicity effects in diabetes, and examination of pharmacological interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leptin: Less Is More.

TL;DR: The underlying conceptual steps that led to the exploration of partial leptin reduction as a viable therapeutic avenue are discussed and it is hoped this discussion will contribute to potential future applications ofpartial leptin reduction therapy for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

PPARγ in Vagal Neurons Regulates High-Fat Diet Induced Thermogenesis

TL;DR: In conclusion, this study systematically profiled the expression of all known nuclear receptors in laser-captured nodose ganglion (NG) neurons and found PPARγ expression was reduced by high-fat-diet feeding, suggesting that the reduction ofPPARγ in NG neurons may serve as a protective mechanism against diet-induced weight gain.
