Another tour de force from the Tong lab!
Excited to share our new study arguing for the existence of parallel neural pathways mediated by LepR or non-LepR neurons that each is sufficient to drive obesity. The obesity driven by non-LepR neurons is relevant to DIO and can be a novel neural basis for leptin resistance.

We have the pleasure to host Dr. @DrJulieStPierre today for the Obesity seminar series of @IUCPQ! Dr. St-Pierre will discuss Canadian pediatric guidelines in obesity.
I am very excited to host @SilvaNeuroendo next Wednesday for the #ObesitySeminarSeries of @IUCPQ. Dr. Silva will discuss #neuroendo and #PCOS!
What a shame! 🤬 A 12-year old living with obesity due to mutations in the PCSK1 gene cannot be treated because our government stigmatizes obesity. Quebec would not recognize a genetic disease. #nonsense
Malgré une rencontre avec le ministre, plusieurs lettres et courriels envoyés au ministre, une pétition à l’assemblée nationale, une rencontre avec l’INESSS, le dossier de l’exclusion des médicaments pour l’obésité ne bouge pas ! INACCEPTABLE! Nos patients paient le prix…
