Happy to share our latest work with Jong-Woo Sohn in Journal of Experimental Medicine (rupress.org/jem/article/21…), where we present experimental evidence linking deficits in hypothalamic Mc4r to antipsychotic drug-induced weight gain.

Li, Jong-Woo Sohn, Chen Liu et al. UT Southwestern O'Donnell Brain Institute develop a new mouse model that recapitulates risperidone-induced metabolic syndrome, revealing that this atypical antipsychotic drug causes weight gain via hypothalamic melanocortin 4 receptors bit.ly/3ocFbSU #Neuroscience

Happy to share our latest work with Jong-Woo Sohn in Cell Reports (cell.com/cell-reports/f…), where we identify Gαi/o-coupled serotonin (5-HT) 2C receptors (Htr2c) and determine their roles in feeding regulation.

Happy to share our latest work with Jong-Woo Sohn in Journal of Experimental Medicine rupress.org/jem/article/21… where we report the appetite-suppressing effect of commonly used antimigraine drugs and illustrate the underlying neural circuit in mice.

Common migraine meds, triptans, could also treat obesity, says Chen Liu of UTSW Media Relations in a new Journal of Experimental Medicine paper. Obese mice taking triptans ate less, lost weight, improved glucose over 1 month. The effect was mediated by the Htr1b serotonin receptor. utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/artic…








I am excited to share our new paper just published in PLOS Biology, which identifies a new role for GIRK2 in the AgRP neurons. I thank @KWickMN and twitterless Prof. Seyun Kim for their generous support. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
