Diet-induced obesity

Analysis of diet-induced obesity experiments in male C57Bl/6J mice on a low-fat diet (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD), demonstrating differences in body weight, energy intake, expenditure, and balance (Banks et al., Nature Metabolism, 2025). ​

Optogenetic stimulation of food intake

Optogenetic stimulation of Agrp neurons in ChR2-expressing mice was performed in the Promethion calorimeter, with food intake, metabolic rate, body temperature, and activity measured during the stimulation period.
