Controlling hypothalamic DNA methylation at the Pomc promoter does not regulate weight gain during the development of obesity.

Obesity is a complex medical condition that is linked to various health complications such as infertility, stroke, and osteoarthritis. Understanding the neurobiology of obesity is crucial for responding to the etiology of this disease. The hypothalamus coordinates many integral activities such as ho...
