The endoplasmic reticulum stress-autophagy pathway controls hypothalamic development and energy balance regulation in leptin-deficient neonates
Overnutrition is associated with hypothalamic ER stress and impaired leptin signaling. Here the authors show that ER stress already occurs in neonates and that treatment with the ER stress relieving drug TUDCA early in life has beneficial metabolic and neurodevelopmental effects.
