Hi,

Endocrine patient here.

I've seen some research that suggests a phenomena of hypothalamic obesity due to decreased oxytocin secretion. Know much about this?

Could Inflamation of the hypothalamus decrease / increase sensitivity of the negative feedback mechanisms of the endocrine systems that are controlled via the hypothalamus / pituitary?

Thanks for your input doc.
