Obesity- and aging-induced excess of central transforming growth factor-β potentiates diabetic development via an RNA stress response

The brain, in particular the hypothalamus, plays a role in regulating glucose homeostasis; however, it remains unclear if the brain is causally involved in diabetic development. Here, we identified that hypothalamic TGF-β is excessive under conditions of not only obesity but aging, which are two gen...
