Changes in Nutrition, Food Safety, and Physical Activity Behaviors: A Comparison Between the Peak Health and Performance and Teen Cuisine Curricula

This study compared the Peak Health and Performance curriculum (PHP) to the Teen Cuisine curriculum (TC) on improving nutrition, food safety, and physical activity (PA) behaviors among youth.The quasi-experimental study was conducted in Michigan middle and high schools and included 1007 5th- through 12th-grade students, who participated in either t

Developmental single-cell transcriptomics of hypothalamic POMC neurons reveal the genetic trajectories of multiple neuropeptidergic phenotypes

Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus are essential to regulate food intake and energy balance.However, the ontogenetic transcriptional programs that specify the identity and Body Sponges functioning of these neurons are poorly understood.Here, we use single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to define the transcriptom
