Mol Cell Endocrinol. 2021 May 1;527:111218. doi: 10.1016/j.mce.2021.111218. PMID: 33636254This study used a high fat and high sucrose diet to generate obese mice. The offspring of these mice showed activation of the unfolding protein response and the heat-shock response in the hypothalamus as early as weaning. This was associated with malformed paraventricular nucleus axonal projections ...

In Brief: The study established a novel rat model with a clinically relevant PLS3 mutation, which replicates the osteoporotic phenotype of early-onset PLS3-related osteoporosis. The findings suggest that treatment with alendronate or teriparatide improves bone mass and microarchitecture, suggesting their potential as effective treatments for early-onset osteoporosis caused by PLS3 mutations.Commentary: This study is an essentia...
