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...
