To read the full abstract: Int J Obes (Lond). 2019;43(6):1256–1268This epigenome-wide association study in stromal/stem cells (ASCs), derived from subcutaneous adipose tissue samples of lean and obese subjects, revealed a specific DNA methylation signature in adipocyte precursors associated with obesity, which has a significant impact on the metabolic phenotype and the mitochondrial...

Brief summary: Villanueva-Carmona et al. identified succinate as a mediating metabolite in leptin secretion. Its action is mediated by the succinate receptor SUCNR in adipocytes via the circadian clock in an AMPK/JNK-C/EBPa-dependent manner.Although the regulatory circuits of leptin action on hunger and satiety are well understood, the pathways that mediate acute leptin production in the adipose tissue are less investigated. To investigate how a...
