Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Knockout Rescues Obesity Phenotype in a Mice Model of Huntington´s Disease

Abstract: Obesity represents a serious global public health problem and is characterized by a low-grade chronic inflammatory state, which can increase the risk of comorbidities, such as: atherosclerosis, diabetes and insulin resistance. In this study, we investigated the effects of the genetic deletion of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) on the modulation of obesity features in BACHD mice, a mouse model of Huntington´s disease. For that, we crossed BACHD and mGluR5 knockout mice (mGluR5−/−) in order to obt… Show more
