B cell-derived nociceptin/orphanin FQ contributes to impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in obesity

Summary: Immune-derived opioid peptides have been implicated in immune regulation and inflammatory processes. Here, we investigate the effects of nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) on metabolic function and inflammation in obesity. Selectively targeting N/OFQ, encoded by the Pnoc gene, in B cells mitiga...
