Riera et al. identify a neuroendocrine circuit that controls longevity and the age-dependent onset of metabolic decline via the pain-transducing channel TRPV1. Thus, pharmacological inhibition of TRPV1 may provide a new approach to treat not only metabolic disorders but also a broader range of age-related pathologies.

Perinatal programming of metabolic diseases: role of insulin in the development of hypothalamic neurocircuits.

Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am

March 2013

It is increasingly accepted that the metabolic future of an individual can be programmed as early as at developmental stages. For instance, offspring of diabetic mothers have a greater risk of becoming obese and diabetic later in life. Animal studies have demonstrated that hyperinsulinemia and/or hyperglycemia during perinatal life permanently impair the organization and long-term function of hypothalamic networks that control appetite and glucose homeostasis.
