Increase of astrocyte apposition on GnRH neurons in early puberty onset induced by high fat diet

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
This study suggests that the HFD‐induced anticipation of puberty seems to be, at least partially, mediated by an increase in the interaction between astrocytes and GnRH neurons in both the MPOA and ARC/EM, which may increase the excitability of GnRH neurons.

Dynamic changes in Ccn3 expression across the limbic forebrain through the mouse estrous cycle and during lactation

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cellular communication network factor 3 (CCN3), also known as nephroblastoma overexpressed (NOV), is an adipocytokine that has recently been suggested to be secreted selectively by hypothalamic arcuate nucleus kisspeptin (ARNKISS) neurons to protect bone density during lactation. Using RNAscope hybridization, we have examined the expression of
