Fasting hyperglycemia, an established hallmark of DM2, is caused by excessive production of glucose by the liver, resulting in the inability of insulin to suppress endogenous glucose production. To prevent inappropriate elevations of circulating glucose resulting from changes in nutrient availability, mammals rely on complex mechanisms for continuously detecting these changes and to respond to them with metabolic adaptations designed to modulate glucose output. The mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH) is the key center where nutritional cues are detected and appropriate modulatory responses are integrated. However, certain environmental factors may have a negative impact on these adaptive responses. For example, consumption of a diet enriched in saturated fat in rodents resulted in the development of a metabolic defect that attenuated these nutrient sensing mechanisms, rendering the animals prone to developing hyperglycemia. Thus, high-fat feeding leads to a state of \u201cmetabolic disability\u201d in which animals\u2019 glucoregulatory responses fail. We postulate that the chronic faltering of the hypothalamic glucoregulatory mechanisms contributes to the development of metabolic disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms23073958","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,3]],"date-time":"2022-04-03T02:59:52Z","timestamp":1648954792000},"page":"3958","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Diet-Induced Metabolic Dysfunction of Hypothalamic Nutrient Sensing in Rodents"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Isabel","family":"Arrieta-Cruz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Research, National Institute of Geriatrics, Ministry of Health, Mexico City 10200, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Blanca Samara","family":"Torres-\u00c1vila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Service Program, School of Medicine, Faculty of Higher Studies Zaragoza, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City 09230, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hilda","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Coria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City 04510, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5980-6039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H\u00e9ctor Eduardo","family":"L\u00f3pez-Vald\u00e9s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City 04510, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roger","family":"Guti\u00e9rrez-Ju\u00e1rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Medicine, Faculty of Higher Studies Zaragoza, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City 09230, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"856","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1079856","article-title":"A war on obesity, not the obese","volume":"299","author":"Friedman","year":"2003","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"853","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1079857","article-title":"Obesity and the environment: Where do we go from here?","volume":"299","author":"Hill","year":"2003","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"American Diabetes Association (2014).
