Maternal obesity increases hypothalamic miR-505-5p expression in mouse offspring leading to altered fatty acid sensing and increased intake of high-fat food. by Laura Dearden, Isadora C Furigo, Lucas C Pantaleão, L W P Wong, Denise S Fernandez-Twinn, Juliana de Almeida-Faria, Katherine A Kentistou, Maria V Carreira, Guillaume Bidault, Antonio Vidal-Puig, Ken K Ong, John R B Perry, Jose Donato, Susan E Ozanne

“…We demonstrate that targets of miR-505-5p are enriched in fatty acid metabolism pathways and overexpression of miR-505-5p decreased neuronal fatty acid metabolism in vitro. miR-505-5p targets are associated with increased BMI in human genetic studies. Intra-cerebroventricular injection of miR-505-5p in wild-type mice increased HFD intake, mimicking the phenotype observed in offspring exposed to maternal obesity. …”

Spatiotemporal Changes and Trade-Offs/Synergies of Ecosystem Services in the Qin-Mang River Basin by Jiwei Zhao, Luyao Wang, Dong Jia, Yaowen Wang

“…The results show that: (1) driven by urbanization and economic development, the expansion of built-up areas has replaced cultivated land and forests, with 35,000 hectares of farmland lost, thereby increasing pressure on ESs; (2) ESs show an overall downward trend, habitat quality (HQ) has deteriorated, carbon storage (CS) remains stable but the area of low CS has expanded, and sediment delivery ratio (SDR) and water yield (WY) fluctuate due to human activities and climate influence; (3) the TOSs of ESs change dynamically, with strong synergies among HQ, CS, and SDR. …”
