Astrocyte IKKβ/NF-κB signaling is required for diet-induced obesity and hypothalamic inflammation

Objective: Obesity and high fat diet (HFD) consumption in rodents is associated with hypothalamic inflammation and reactive gliosis. While neuronal inflammation promotes HFD-induced metabolic dysfunction, the role of astrocyte activation in susceptibility to hypothalamic inflammation and diet-induce...
