Background: Scientific evidence highlights the influence of biological sex on the relationship between stress and metabolic dysfunctions. However, there is limited understanding of how diet and stress concurrently contribute to metabolic dysregulation in both males and females. Our study aimed to investigate the combined effects of high-fat diet (HFD) induced obesity and repeated stress on fear-related behaviors, metabolic, immune, and hypothalamic outcomes in male and female mice.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers found that cells from urine of bladder cancer patients can help study the tumors because of their connection to urine.
  • They discovered that urine from bladder cancer patients had more immune cells compared to healthy people's urine.
  • These immune cells in urine were very similar to those found in the tumors, suggesting that urine cells could help track tumor changes and might be useful for developing treatments.

Scientific evidence underscores the influence of biological sex on the interplay between stress and metabolic dysfunctions. However, there is limited understanding of how diet and stress jointly contribute to metabolic dysregulation in both males and females. To address this gap, our study aimed to investigate the combined effects of a high-fat diet (HFD) and repeated footshock stress on fear-related behaviors and metabolic outcomes in male and female mice.
