Mouse Models of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Display Metabolic Dysfunction

Caption

A new study using mouse models of neurodevelopmental disorders identifies alterations in energy metabolism that are sex-specific and distinct between models. These findings point to novel peripheral anomalies and force rethinking on how genetic mutations associated with these disorders affect multi-organ systems and overall body health.
