Obesity is a disease affecting millions of people worldwide. In adipose tissue, obesity leads to chronic low-level inflammation mediated by infiltrating macrophages, which ultimately results in insulin resistance. Recent work exploring the effects of obesity and metabolic disease on the central nervous system (CNS) revealed that long-term high fat diet (HFD) leads to brain inflammation and leptin resistance in the hypothalamus. Microglia, the brain’s intrinsic immune cells, play an essential role in physiological brain functions, including pruning of neuronal synapses and regulation of brain development, and respond to disease or injury to the CNS. Fitting with the notion that diets high in fat content are harmful to the brain, an altered m...
