DESCRIPTION:Eduardo Rochete Ropelle\, PhD\nSchool of Applied Sciences (FCA
 ) – University of Campinas (UNICAMP) – Brazil.\nLaboratory of Molecula
 r Biology of Exercise\nObesity is one of the most prevalent diseases in th
 e modern world. It results from the progressive loss of balance between fo
 od intake and whole body energy expenditure. Recent studies have shown tha
 t consumption of fat-rich diets induces hypothalamic inflammation and dysf
 unction which is characterized by defective response to anorexygenic and t
 hermogenic hormones\, such as leptin and insulin. In the first part of thi
 s presentation\, I will focus on the molecular mechanisms that connect inf
 lammation with hypothalamic insulin and leptin resistance. Next\, I will e
 xplore the effects of exercise on central insulin and leptin resistance\, 
 demonstrating the anti-inflammatory action of Interleukin-6 (IL-6).
