This study shows that low-grade inflammation in obesity reduces effortful food choices by increasing aversion to effort and altering dmPFC processing.

This study examines how time-restricted feeding affects microglial immunometabolism in obese rats, finding that TRF during the active phase reduces fat mass and alters microglial transcriptome rhythmicity, but does not reverse HFD-induced metabolic inflexibility.

This study examines the effects of weight cycling on immune remodeling in metabolic tissues and finds that metabolic dysfunctions are uncoupled from inflammation in obese mice.

The paper introduces CENCAT, a method to measure protein synthesis inhibition in immune cells using noncanonical amino acid tagging, showing its utility in analyzing metabolic responses in complex samples and tissue-resident immune cells.
