Interestingly rats fed a hypercaloric diet to induce obesity have an increased accumulation of transcripts implicated in lipid homeostasis and inflammation, such as fatty acid translocase CD36, lipoprotein lipase, and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), in the uterus [66]. Here, CD36 is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
