Prenatal benzene exposure alters offspring hypothalamic development predisposing to metabolic disease in later life
2023-01-05
Abstract excerpt
The hypothalamus is essential in the regulation of metabolism, notably during critical windows of development. An abnormal hormonal and inflammatory milieu during development can trigger persistent changes in the function of hypothalamic circuits, leading to long-lasting effects on the body’s energy homeostasis and metabolism.
