Abstract Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality globally. An early tool to diagnose and prognosticate disease could aid in timely intervention and reduction in disease burden. We aimed to identify biomarkers for HIE and define whether these biomarkers are associated with neurologic outcome severity in our ovine model. Study Cohort 1 (n = 46) included lambs with HIE induced via umbilical cord occlusion (UCO) and healthy controls (n = 19).

Abstract The preoptic area (POA) is a well-established regulator of body temperature, but its role in feeding behavior remains underexplored. Our study identifies leptin receptor (Lepr)-expressing neurons in the POA (POALepr) as critical component to suppress food intake (FI) and increase satiety in response to warm ambient temperatures.
