The prevalence of obesity has been increasing worldwide, reaching all age groups, including women of reproductive age. In obesity, there is a chronic low-grade inflammatory state that involves the chemotaxis of immune cells to various tissues. In mice, a few days of a high-fat diet (HFD) triggers an inflammatory response in the hypothalamus, the main regulatory center of energy homeostasi…
By integrating signals from both central and peripheral sources, the hypothalamus plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis. This regulation is finely tuned, ensuring that the organism responds appropriately to the environmental and physiological adaptations necessary for species evolution. As a protective mechanism, neurogenesis in the hypothalamus continues into adulthood, respond…
Excessive intake of saturated fats induces an inflammatory response in the hypothalamus, involving interactions between parenchymal cells and infiltrating myeloid cells. Prolonged exposure to this dietary pattern leads to hypothalamic dysfunction, characterized by impaired neuronal regulation of energy balance, which contributes to the onset of obesity. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is e…
The nutritional status of mothers before conception and their diet during pregnancy are pivotal for the health of newborns. Variations in the availability of nutrients, oxygen, and hormones during pregnancy can impact the structural and functional development of the embryo and fetus. These variations contribute to immunological and metabolic changes that may favor adipose tissue accumulat…

The hypothalamus integrates central and peripheral signals to control many autonomic functions, such as energy balance and reproduction. This regulation occurs synchronously since the metabolic state determines several behavioral and physiological adaptations to ensure the reproductive success of the species. As a protective mechanism, neurogenesis in the hypothalamus is preserved until a…
Diabetes is a serious chronic disease that is associated with increased morbidity and premature mortality. Its prevalence has been increasing exponentially in recent decades, becoming a public health problem in many countries. The global diabetes epidemic is driven by increasing in the obesity. Excess body fat increases the risk of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, and contribut…
Emerging data demonstrate that microglial inflammatory signaling plays a pivotal role in the development of obesity induced-hypothalamic inflammation. In the early stages of hypothalamic inflammation, cells from microglia recognize the excess of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) from the diet and activate an important inflammatory response. Due to fenestrated nature of the blood-brain barrier …
