But those mice that got a boost to stem cells in the hypothalamus showed an opposite, rejuvenating effect. They were more curious, ran farther, and lived about 15 percent longer than normal mice.

Research carried out on mice has revealed how a hormone released by the intestine acts on the brain and helps regulate the body's energy expenditure. FGF19 (fibroblast growth factor 19) activates ...

A high-fat diet can promote overweight and increase the risk of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes. In mice brains, this leads to measurable changes in the region of the hypothalamus. However ...

Conversely, Dr. Cai and his group found that blocking the NF-κB pathway in the hypothalamus of mouse brains slowed aging and increased median longevity by about 20 percent, compared to controls.

This study examined the proteomic profile of the hypothalamus in mice exposed to a high-fat diet (HFD) or with the anorexia of acute illness. This comparison could provide insight on the effects ...

Hypothalamus of a transgenic mouse WIKIMEDIA, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH D uring adulthood, the mouse brain manufactures new neurons in several locations, including the hippocampus and the ...

But injecting the hypothalamus with extra stem cells, taken from the brains of newborn mice, slowed down this premature ageing, and gave mice an extra two to four months of life (Nature, DOI: 10. ...

The hypothalamus is a small but crucial part of the brain. ... A 2017 study in mice found that eating a high fat diet led to inflammation of the hypothalamus. On the other hand, ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which a cluster of astrocytes, specialized brain cells, in the hypothalamus cause obesity in mice. Their findings could lead to a new obesity treatment ...

One route they are studying involves supplementing mice with eNAMPT, the enzyme produced by the fat tissue that returns to the brain and fuels the hypothalamus, among other tissues.

Comparison of oxytocin hormone in the hypothalamus of mice fed three different diets. The image on the far right shows very little oxytocin in mice fed a soybean oil diet. Credit: UC Riverside. The ...

Mice without the stimulation ate just 4 percent of their daily intake in the same 10-minute period. Regular sessions of stimulation — five minutes every three hours — resulted in weight gain ...
