Highly processed foods: Contain additives that increase oxidative stress and reduce overall health
GABA released by the NPY/AgRP neurons is very important to the control of food intake probably via inhibiting the anorectic effects of the POMC neurons
A 2025 Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism study found that reducing dosing frequency (from once weekly to every two weeks) maintained about 70%75% of total weight loss while cutting costs by up to 50%

Besides its use as BBB permeability and transport screen, the model has also been used in mechanistic studies in physiological and pathological conditions
