The findings of a new study in mice may shed light on why dieting humans have a hard time sticking to food restrictions.
Researchers demonstrate how a single injection of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) can restore blood sugar levels to normal for extended periods in rodent models of type 2 diabetes. Studies show how FGF1 affects specific neurons and perineuronal nets to help restore blood sugar levels to normal, thus sending diabetes into remission.
Study reveals how ArGP and dopamine neurons are linked, and how food and drugs affect them differently. The findings offer clues for the development of new treatments for obesity and substance use disorders.
Researchers have identified a mechanism that allows the body to adapt to a low caloric intake and limits weight loss.
Researchers report glia play a critical role in feeding behavior and appetite control.
According to a new study, hunger can suppress rival drive states such as fear, anxiety, thirst or social needs.

According to a new study, AgRP neurons not only control huger, they also regulate bone mass.
AGRP neurons are responsible for those feelings of hunger which can make it more difficult to resist snacks when on a diet, a new study reports.
Researchers report when food is absent, Agrp neurons initiate repetitive behaviors.
A new study reveals a molecular process in the brain which impacts how much energy we can burn and how much weight we can lose.
The absence of a specific type of neuron in the brain can lead to obesity and diabetes in mice report researchers. The outcome, however, depends on the type of diet that the animals are fed.
