Figure 1 Microglia-Mediated Hypothalamic Inflammation in Obesity During dietary nutrient excess, NF-κB-mediated activation of long-lived residential microglia recruits bone-marrow-derived myeloid cells that adopt a microglial phenotype. Forced activation of NF-κB signaling in residential microglia by ablation of A20 recruits myeloid-derived microglia and suppresses neuronal responsiveness to metabolic hormones, such as leptin, to regulate food intake and energy expenditure and affect obesity susceptibility.
