Leptin Receptor Reactivation Restores Brain Function in Early-Life lepr-Deficient Mice

Reactivation of Insulin Receptors Can Restore Brain Function in Early Lepr-Deficient Mice Background Obesity is a chronic disease caused by excessive fat accumulation, affecting both body and brain health. Deficiency of the insulin receptor (Leptin receptor, Lepr) is considered an important factor in the pathogenesis of obesity. Insulin plays a cru...

Hippo-Yap/Taz Signalling Coordinates Adipose Plasticity and Energy Balance by Uncoupling Leptin Expression from Fat Mass

The Coordinating Role of the Hippo-YAP/TAZ Pathway in Adipose Plasticity and Energy Balance Adipose tissue not only serves as an energy storage depot but also functions as an endocrine organ. However, the mechanisms coordinating these functions remain elusive. This study unveiled that the transcriptional co-regulators YAP and TAZ maintain metabolic...
