| Research Abstract |
Despite remarkable advancements in obesity research over the past decade, the mechanisms underlying obesity are still not fully understood. In this study, we discovered a new inter-organ neural network from the liver. In states of energy intake beyond physiological requirements, glucose metabolism changes in the liver with the induction of neuronal signal transmissions via the vagal nerve. These signals, received by the brain, result in the inactivation of sympathetic innervation of brown adipose tissue (BAT). This leads to suppression of thermogenesis in BAT and thereby favors obesity development. During periods when sufficient food was not always available, this system worked in favor of survival. However, in the current age of plenty, it is assumed to work as a mechanism flipping a metabolic switch toward obesity. Furthermore, the efficacy of the liver-to-BAT interaction differs among mouse strains and these differences may contribute to determining the obesity predispositions.
