Intestinal gluconeogenesis controls the neonatal development of hypothalamic feeding circuits.
Article in Molecular metabolism, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveIntestinal gluconeogenesis (IGN) regulates adult energy homeostasis in part by controlling the same hypothalamic targets as leptin. In neonates, leptin exhibits a neonatal surge controlling axonal outgrowth between the different hypothalamic nuclei involved in feeding circuits and autonomic innervation of peripheral tissues involved in energy and glucose homeostasis. Interestingly, IGN is induced during this specific time-window. We hypothesized that the neonatal pic of IGN also regulates the development of hypothalamic feeding circuits and sympathetic innervation of adipose tissues.
methodsWe genetically induced neonatal IGN by overexpressing G6pc1 the catalytic subunit of glucose-6-phosphatase (the mandatory enzyme of IGN) at birth or at twelve days after birth. The neonatal development of hypothalamic feeding circuits was studied by measuring Agouti-related protein (AgRP) and Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) fiber density in hypothalamic nuclei of 20-day-old pups. The effect of the neonatal induction of intestinal G6pc1 on sympathetic innervation of the adipose tissues was studied via tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) quantification. The metabolic consequences of the neonatal induction of intestinal G6pc1 were studied in adult mice challenged with a high-fat/high-sucrose (HFHS) diet for 2 months.
resultsInduction of intestinal G6pc1 at birth caused a neonatal reorganization of AgRP and POMC fiber density in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, increased brown adipose tissue tyrosine hydroxylase levels, and protected against high-fat feeding-induced metabolic disorders. In contrast, inducing intestinal G6pc1 12 days after birth did not impact AgRP/POMC fiber densities, adipose tissue innervation or adult metabolism.
conclusionThese findings reveal that IGN at birth but not later during postnatal life controls the development of hypothalamic feeding circuits and sympathetic innervation of adipose tissues, promoting a better management of metabolism in adulthood.
