“…These include both classical cytokines, such as IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, or chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), as well as leptin, adiponectin, resistin, visfatin, omentin, chemerin, and apelin. It has been shown that HFD leads to the overexpression of classical cytokines, leptin, chemerin, and apelin, while the expression of adiponectin, resistin, and visfatin is reduced (Hotamisligil et al, 1993;Kępczyñska et al, 2013;Murabayashi et al, 2013;Diba et al, 2018;Ding et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2018;Huang et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2020a;Costa et al, 2021). Maternal hyperleptinemia has been suggested to induce leptin withdrawal in the fetal brain, resulting in the downregulation of leptin receptors and leptin signaling leading to cognitive impairment (Ding et al, 2018).…”
