Minireview: Inflammation and Obesity Pathogenesis: The Hypothalamus Heats Up
Open accessAbstract
Obesity induced by high-fat (HF) feeding is associated with low-grade inflammation in peripheral tissues that predisposes to insulin resistance. Recent evidence suggests the occurrence of a similar process in the hypothalamus, which favors weight gain through impairment of leptin and insulin signaling. In addition to its implications for obesity pathogenesis, this hypothesis suggests that centrally targeted antiinflammatory therapies may prove effective in prevention and treatment of this disorder. This article highlights molecular and cellular mechanisms by which hypothalamic inflammation predisposes to diet-induced obesity.

Consumption of a high-fat diet induces inflammation in the hypothalamus, an effect that itself could favor weight gain by impairing the neuronal response to input from leptin and insulin.
“Recent evidence suggests that consumption of a HFD also induces inflammation in the hypothalamus, an effect that itself could favor weight gain by impairing the neuronal response to input from leptin and insulin (184).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
