Journal ArticleDOI

Fecal transplantation and butyrate improve neuropathic pain, modify immune cell profile, and gene expression in the PNS of obese mice

TL;DR: The data suggest that fecal transplantation from lean to obese, insulin-resistant mice decreases obesity-induced hypersensitivity and increases nerve density in the skin, and circulating butyrate, a metabolite secreted by gut microbiome and absorbed in the blood stream, underlies some of the effects of FMT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liver X Receptors Protect Dorsal Root Ganglia from Obesity-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Mechanical Allodynia.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that neuronal liver X receptor (LXR) activation delays ER stress and allodynia in WD-fed mice and suggests that lipid-binding nuclear receptors expressed in the sensory neurons of the DRG play a role in the onset of obesity-induced hypersensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of the liver X receptor LXRα/β in peripheral sensory neurons modifies energy expenditure

TL;DR: This study shows mice lacking LXRα/β in peripheral sensory neurons have increased energy expenditure and weight loss when fed a Western diet (WD), and suggests the ability to metabolize and sense cholesterol and/or fatty acids in peripheral neurons is an important requirement for physiological adaptations to WDs.
