“…STAT3 signaling pathway in the PO and CO groups, the food intake of the rats was lower, in accordance with lower NPY expression than the control group. Thus, leptin resistance was not stimulated by CO consumption (Shewale et al, 2018). Additionally, high-fat diet consumption, such as a ketogenic diet, triggered a leptin-induced hypothalamic NPY reduction, resulting in a general reduction of perceived hunger and food intake (Scharrer, 1999;Paoli et al, 2015).…”
