Inhibition of PTP1B by trodusquemine (MSI-1436) causes fat-specific weight loss in diet-induced obese mice.

TL;DR: The data establish trodusquemine as an effective central and peripheral PTP1B inhibitor with the potential to elicit noncachectic fat‐specific weight loss and improve insulin and leptin levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity and endocrine disease

TL;DR: The fat cell has been found to be an endocrine organ that produces several peptides that are bioactive and participate in the regulation of adipocyte function that contributes to the development of obesity.

The Hypothalamic - Pituitary -Adrenal Axis in the Neuroendocrine Regulation of Food Intake and Obesity: The Role of Corticotropin Releasing Hormone

TL;DR: The role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in the control of food intake and the pathogenesis of obesity is reviewed and the interactions between other neurosystems and this hormonal axis are discussed.

From lesions to leptin: hypothalamic control of food intake and body weight.

TL;DR: The availability of these molecular tools, coupled with tract tracing, has resulted in striking progress in dissecting an extensive network of hypothalamic circuitry that regulates feeding, and the outline of the hypothalamic system for regulation of feeding is now more clear.

Decreased cerebrospinal-fluid/serum leptin ratio in obesity: a possible mechanism for leptin resistance

TL;DR: The data suggest that leptin enters the brain by a saturable transport system, lower in obese individuals, and may provide a mechanism for leptin resistance.

Chronic intracerebroventricular infusion of insulin reduces food intake and body weight of baboons

TL;DR: Additional evidence is presented by showing that in baboons the infusion of exogenous insulin into the CSF elicits a reliable and predictable decrease in food intake and body weight.

Identification of SOCS-3 as a Potential Mediator of Central Leptin Resistance

TL;DR: SOCS-3 is a leptin-inducible inhibitor of leptin signaling, and a potential mediator of leptin resistance in Obesity, a model of leptin-resistant murine obesity.
