This study examines how a high-fat, high-sucrose, and high-salt diet affects metabolic outcomes in mice, finding increased gonadal fat and glucose intolerance despite reduced inflammation.

This study shows that estrogen therapy restores synaptic and metabolic proteins in the brain of aged mice after ovariectomy, improving mitochondrial function and synaptic integrity.

This study uses a VCD-induced menopause mouse model to show that ovarian loss disrupts hepatic mitochondrial function and lipid homeostasis, increasing susceptibility to diet-induced obesity and steatosis.

This study shows that Mogat1 is important for adipocyte differentiation in vitro but not for adiposity or metabolic outcomes in mice on a high-fat diet.
