Anti-obesity sodium tungstate treatment triggers axonal and glial plasticity in hypothalamic feeding centers.
<h4>Objective</h4>This study aims at exploring the effects of sodium tungstate treatment on hypothalamic plasticity, which is known to have an important role in the control of energy metabolism.<h4>Methods</h4>Adult lean and high-fat diet-induced obese mice were orally treate...

Immunohistochemistry and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging were also performed.<h4>Results</h4>Sodium tungstate treatment reduced body weight gain, food intake, and blood glucose and triglyceride levels. These effects were associated with transcriptional and functional changes in the hypothalamus. Proteomic analysis revealed that sodium tungstate modified the expression levels of proteins involved in cell morphology, axonal growth, and tissue remodeling, such as actin, CRMP2 and neurofilaments, and of proteins related to energy metabolism. Moreover, immunohistochemistry studies confirmed results for some targets and further revealed tungstate-dependent regulation of SNAP25 and HPC-1 proteins, suggesting an effect on synaptogenesis as well.
