Abstract
Appetite hormone dysregulation may play a role in the pathomechanisms of bipolar disorder and chronic irritability. However, its association with executive dysfunction in adolescents with bipolar disorder and those with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) remains unclear. We included 20 adolescents with bipolar disorder, 20 adolescents with DMDD, and 47 healthy controls. Fasting serum levels of appetite hormones, including leptin, ghrelin, insulin, and adiponectin were examined. All participants completed the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. Generalized linear models with adjustments for age, sex, body mass index, and clinical symptoms revealed that patients with DMDD had elevated fasting log-transformed insulin levels (p = .023) compared to the control group. Adolescents with DMDD performed worse in terms of the number of tries required to complete tasks associated with the first category (p = .035), and adolescents with bipolar disorder performed worse in terms of the number of categories completed (p = .035). A positive correlation was observed between log-transformed insulin levels and the number of tries required for the first category (β = 1.847, p = .032). Adolescents with DMDD, but not those with bipolar disorder, were more likely to exhibit appetite hormone dysregulation compared to healthy controls. Increased insulin levels were also related to executive dysfunction in these patients. Prospective studies should elucidate the temporal association between appetite hormone dysregulation, executive dysfunction, and emotional dysregulation.

Abstract
AIMS Normalization of body weight is a treatment objective for diabetes. Therefore, anti-diabetic drugs that cause weight loss are widely used in clinics, with the aim of reducing the risk of chronic complications. However, the effect of weight loss on cognition in patients with diabetes is unclear. METHODS Embase, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and the Web of Science were searched systematically, without study type restrictions, from inception to December 18, 2022. Weight loss was defined as a statistically significant decrease in body mass index (BMI) following an observation or intervention. We conducted an analysis of pooled data using a random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 619 participants in five studies were included. Weight loss was not associated with cognitive changes in patients with diabetes (standardized mean difference 0.50, 95% confidence interval -0.09 to 1.08). Subgroup analyses showed that this was not significantly affected by the duration of intervention or observation, or the size of the reduction in BMI. However, it was challenging to draw definitive conclusions regarding the effects of interventions and baseline BMI, because only one study was included. CONCLUSIONS Weight loss may be neutral to cognitive function in diabetes, but further studies are required to draw more definitive conclusions.

Abstract
Obesity is defined as abnormal and excessive fat accumulation, and it is a risk factor for developing metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive deficits. Obesity is caused by an imbalance in energy homeostasis resulting from increased caloric intake associated with a sedentary lifestyle. However, the entire physiopathology linking obesity with neurodegeneration and cognitive decline has not yet been elucidated. During the progression of obesity, adipose tissue undergoes immune, metabolic, and functional changes that induce chronic low-grade inflammation. It has been proposed that inflammatory processes may participate in both the peripheral disorders and brain disorders associated with obesity, including the development of cognitive deficits. In addition, mitochondrial dysfunction is related to inflammation and oxidative stress, causing cellular oxidative damage. Preclinical and clinical studies of obesity and metabolic disorders have demonstrated mitochondrial brain dysfunction. Since neuronal cells have a high energy demand and mitochondria play an important role in maintaining a constant energy supply, impairments in mitochondrial activity lead to neuronal damage and dysfunction and, consequently, to neurotoxicity. In this review, we highlight the effect of obesity and high-fat diet consumption on brain neuroinflammation and mitochondrial changes as a link between metabolic dysfunction and cognitive decline.
