Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Understanding the Molecular Processes of Obesity and the Anti‐Obesity Properties of Bioactive Substances Found in Tea

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Obesity, a severe worldwide health concern, is characterized as an excessive deposit of fat in the human body. It has various ramifications that endanger human health and increase the financial expense. Obesity raises the risk of several illnesses, notably cardiovascular disease, NALFD, and diabetes, and has been associated with shorter ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Food Bioactive Constituents in the Management of Obesity and Hypertension: A Critical Review

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Obesity and hypertension co‐exist and share molecular mechanisms in terms of dietary therapy, modulated by food bioactive constituents. ABSTRACT Obesity and hypertension are among the most pressing global public health challenges. They frequently co‐exist, with obesity‐related hypertension accounting for an estimated 75% of the hypertension burden ...

A mouse model for a partially inactive obesity-associated human MC3R variant

Nature Communications, 2016
The melanocortin receptor, MC3R, regulates organismal energy homeostasis. Here, Lee et al. create knock-in mice with the a mutated version of the human MC3R receptor found in obese children, and show these mice have more fat and smaller bone, yet are by ...

Positioning Incretin‐Based and Next‐Generation Obesity Management Medications: A Methodological Framework for a Series of Systematic Reviews and Network Meta‐Analyses

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 7768-7778, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The obesity pharmacotherapy landscape is evolving rapidly, with several approved incretin‐based therapies and an expanding pipeline of investigational compounds targeting multiple metabolic pathways. Conventional evidence syntheses often struggle to accommodate differences in dose selection, treatment duration and stage of clinical ...

Obesity Disrupts CtBP2‐Mediated Maintenance of Transcriptional Equilibrium in Hypothalamic Feeding Circuitry

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
CtBP2, a transcriptional corepressor with metabolite sensing capabilities, maintains feeding homeostasis by preventing excessive food intake in the hypothalamic feeding center. CtBP2 limits food intake by inhibiting KLF4 within AgRP neurons and by promoting the inhibitory influence of POMC neurons on AgRP neurons.
