Abstract
The prevalence of overweight and Obesity is increasing over the years and one of the main causes is the lifestyle that is currently being adopted by the population. Excessive consumption of saturated fat alters the functionality of hypothalamic neurons that control energy homeostasis. Mitochondrial activity in neurons of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus is closely related to the co…

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that the maintenance of mitochondrial activity in hypothalamic neurons is a determinant for the control of energy homeostasis in mammals. It is known that the abundance of NAD + levels induces potent mitochondrial signals, promoting increased oxidative capacity and increased mitochondrial biogenesis. Among these signs, we highlight the induction of "mitonuclear imb…

Abstract
Obesity is classified as a low-grade chronic inflammation, accompanied by resistance to insulin and leptin, hormones directly associated with energy homeostasis. Mitochondrial activity in hypothalamic arcuate nucleus neurons is closely related to the control of food intake and energy homeostasis. Mitochondria is a dynamic organelle and changes its conformation according to cellular energe…
