Tamas Horvath and his colleagues show that in states of obesity activation of the transcription factor PPAR-γ in POMC neurons occurs, resulting in an increase in peroxisome proliferation. This cellular event leads to reduced ROS levels in these cells, decreased neuronal firing and increased food intake. They also show that central pharmacological i...
