Unfolded protein response is an adaptive cellular response that adjust protein translation rate to specific external stress. This response has been demonstrated to mediate programmed cell death and insulin resistance in pathophysiological conditions such as diabetes. More recently, it has been demonstrated that the pharmacological activation of UPR in the hypothalamus is able to stimulate food intake through mechanism not completely determined.
