    The FDA-approved rheumatoid arthritis drug auranofin accumulates in white adipose tissue, improves insulin sensitivity, and normalizes fatty-liver disease in obesity. Beta-adrenergic receptor regulation of leptin secretion generates metabolic benefits superior to anti-inflammatory effects. Consequently, studies of auranofin reinforce that partial leptin reduction represents a relevant method for…

    Diet influences intestinal microbiota, inflammation, and metabolism. Kawano et al. show that dietary sugar engaged upper gut innate lymphoid cells to replace segmented filamentous bacteria with a pathobiont. Added sugar worsened early metabolic disease by lowering protective Th17 immunity, thereby promoting intestinal lipid absorption and obesity in high-fat-diet-fed mice.

    Tilg et al. discuss experimental and clinical aspects of the bidirectional gut-liver crosstalk in health and how perturbation of such inter-organ communication promotes liver diseases. Collectively, the diet, gut mucosal immunity and related microbial commensalism, and hepatic metabolism shape the communication along the gut-liver axis, fueling various liver diseases.

    Herrera Moro Chao et al. show that obesity promotes anatomically restricted remodeling of hypothalamic astrocyte activity. In the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), chemogenetic manipulation of astrocytes results in bidirectional control of neighboring neuron activity, autonomic outflow, glucose metabolism, and energy balance through the control of ambient glutamate levels.
