The expression of leptin receptor (OB-R) is downregulated by leptin in some cell lines. This study investigated the expressions of leptin receptors at central nerve system and peripheral site in a dietary model of obesity. Rats in the 8 week high-diet and control group were classified based on body weight gain into obese and control groups. Serum leptin and insulin concentrations were measured and gene expressions of short form of leptin receptor (OB-Ra) and long form (OB-Rb) in hypothalamus and liver were detected by RT-PCR. The levels of serum leptin in obese rats were increased compared with control rats (p<0.05). The levels of OB-Ra and OB-Rb gene expressions in both hypothalamus and liver in obese rats were reduced significantly (p<0.01). Serum leptin concentrations of obese rats had a significant negative relationship with both of OB-Ra or OB-Rb gene expression levels in hypothalamus and liver (p<0.01). On the other hand, serum insulin levels had no relationship with OB-Ra or OB-Rb gene expression levels in neither liver nor hypothalamus. Rats with diet-induced obesity have hyperleptinemia and reduced expressions of leptin receptors in hypothalamus and liver. The results suggest that a leptin downregulated OB-R expression is one of leptin resistant mechanisms for maintaining obesity. 相似文献

Increased leptin expression selectively in the hypothalamus suppresses inflammatory markers CRP and IL-6 in leptin-deficient diabetic obese mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Low-grade systemic inflammation, as indicated by increased circulating levels of inflammatory markers CRP and IL-6, is linked to increased risks for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes mellitus in obese subjects. Whereas hyperleptinemia in obesity are associated with increased CRP and IL-6 release, the hypothalamic versus peripheral site of leptin action has not been ascertained. The effects of increased leptin supply selectively in the hypothalamus by gene therapy on pro-inflammatory CRP and IL-6 levels and on markers of diabetes in the circulation of ob/ob mice displaying either age-related or dietary obesity were assessed. A recombinant adeno-associated viral vector encoding either green-fluorescent protein (control) or leptin gene was injected intracerebroventricularly. Five weeks later, one-half of each of the vector groups was switched to high-fat diet consumption and the other half continued to consume regular low-fat chow diet. Body weight and visceral white adipose tissue were drastically reduced and hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia were abrogated by leptin gene therapy, independent of the dietary fat content. The elevated plasma CRP and IL-6 levels seen in obese ob/ob mice receiving the control vector, regardless of the fat content of the diet, were markedly suppressed by increased hypothalamic leptin in both groups. The results show for the first time that leptin deficiency elevates and reinstatement of leptin selectively in the hypothalamus suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory biomarkers, a response likely to alleviate CVD associated with obesity. 相似文献

Obesity is a growing epidemic characterized by excess fat storage in adipocytes. Although lipoprotein receptors play important roles in lipid uptake, their role in controlling food intake and obesity is not known. Here we show that the lipoprotein receptor LRP1 regulates leptin signaling and energy homeostasis. Conditional deletion of the Lrp1 gene in the brain resulted in an obese phenotype characterized by increased food intake, decreased energy consumption, and decreased leptin signaling. LRP1 directly binds to leptin and the leptin receptor complex and is required for leptin receptor phosphorylation and Stat3 activation. We further showed that deletion of the Lrp1 gene specifically in the hypothalamus by Cre lentivirus injection is sufficient to trigger accelerated weight gain. Together, our results demonstrate that the lipoprotein receptor LRP1, which is critical in lipid metabolism, also regulates food intake and energy homeostasis in the adult central nervous system. 相似文献

Juvenile obesity is a rising epidemic due largely to consumption of caloric dense, fat-enriched foods. Nevertheless, literature
on fat-induced neuroendocrine and metabolic disturbances during adolescence, preceding obesity, is limited. This study aimed
to examine early events induced by a fat diet (45% calories from saturated fat) in male rats fed the diet during the pre-
and post-pubertal period. The neuroendocrine endpoints studied were the levels of circulating leptin, insulin and corticosterone,
as well as their receptors in the hypothalamus and hippocampus. Hormonal levels were determined by radioimmunoassay and receptors’
levels by western blot analysis. Leptinemia was increased in pubertal rats and in adult rats fed the fat diet from weaning
to adulthood, but not in those fed from puberty to adulthood. Modifications in the developmental pattern from puberty to adulthood
were observed for most of the brain receptors studied. In adult animals fed the fat diet from weaning onwards, the levels
of leptin receptors in the hypothalamus and glucocorticoid receptors in the hippocampus were decreased compared to chow-fed
controls. Switching from fat to normal chow at puberty onset restored the diet-induced alterations on circulating leptin,
but not on its hypothalamic receptors. These data suggest that when a fat-enriched diet, resembling those consumed by many
teenagers, provided in rats during pubertal growth, it can longitudinally influence the actions of leptin and corticosterone
in the brain. The observed alterations at a preobese state may constitute early signs of the disturbed energy balance toward
overweight and obesity. 相似文献

We identified that leptin resistance in aged-obese rats has both peripheral and central components. The central resistance is characterized by diminished hypothalamic leptin receptors and impaired leptin signal transduction. We developed a new model of leptin-induced leptin resistance in which application of the central leptin gene delivery produces unabated hypothalamic leptin over-expression. The chronic central elevation of leptin precipitates leptin resistance in young animals devoid of obesity and exacerbates it in mature or aged animals with obesity. Despite leptin resistance, our aged obese, DIO, and leptin-induced leptin resistant rats were fully responsive to central pharmacological melanocortin activation. We propose that the central leptin resistance resides between leptin receptor and melanocortin receptor activation. Our central POMC gene therapy overcame leptin resistance, producing weight and fat loss and improved insulin sensitivity in obese Zucker and aged rats. This success highlights the central melanocortin system as a useful drug target for combating obesity. 相似文献

Postnatal early overnutrition (EO) is a risk factor for future obesity and metabolic disorders. Rats raised in small litters (SLs) develop overweight, hyperphagia, hyperleptinemia, hyperinsulinemia and hypertension when adults. As obesity is related to hyperleptinemia, leptin resistance and metabolic syndrome, we aimed to investigate body composition, plasma hormone levels, glucose tolerance and the leptin signaling pathway in hypothalamus from early overfed animals at weaning and adulthood. To induce postnatal EO, we reduced litter size to three pups/litter (SL), and the groups with normal litter size (10 pups/litter) were used as control. Rats had free access to standard diet and water postweaning. Body weight and food intake were monitored daily, and offspring were killed at 21 (weaning) and 180 days old (adulthood). Postnatal EO group had higher body weight and total and visceral fat mass at both periods. Lean mass and serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were higher at 21 days and lower at 180 days. Small litter rats presented higher levels of globulins at both periods, while albumin levels were higher at weaning and lower at adulthood. There was higher leptin, insulin and glucose serum concentrations at 21 days old, while no glucose intolerance was observed in adulthood. Leptin signaling pathway was unaffected at weaning. However, postnatal EO induced lower JAK2 and p-STAT3, and higher SOCS3 expression in adult animals, indicating central leptin resistance in adulthood. In conclusion, postnatal EO induces obesity, higher total and visceral fat mass, lower HDL-C and central leptin resistance in adult life. 相似文献

The hypothalamus has long been recognized as a major site in the central nervous system (CNS) where a spectrum of internal and external environmental information is integrated for energy homeostasis. The isolation and sequencing of leptin in the mid 90 s, together with the demonstration of leptin administration's ability to correct the obesity syndrome in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice and humans by suppressing food intake and weight gain in laboratory rodents, confirmed the hypothesized existence of a direct humoral signal from adipose tissue to the hypothalamus, thus integrating the energy-related signals. In the 80 s, neuropeptide Y (NPY) was identified as a potent appetite-stimulating neuropeptide produced, released and acting locally within the hypothalamus. This is recognized as a major physiological appetite transducer and central neurochemical substrate receiving, interpreting and processing incoming information on energy status. More recently, ghrelin, produced in the stomach and released into the general circulation, has drawn attention as the other limb of the feedback circuit that stimulates appetite at NPY network level. Prolonged fasting suppresses serum leptin, while suppressing TSH secretion. Intervention with leptin replacement can prevent fasting-induced changes in TSH, suggesting that leptin regulates TSH. Low leptin levels in sportsmen and sportswomen as well as in recreational runners are consistent with reduction in body fat, but are also influenced by the presence of low insulin, hypothyroxemia, and elevated cortisol levels. These metabolic adaptations to chronic energy deficits indicate a role in leptin regulation. A study within the general population found that activity levels and leptin were significantly negatively associated in both sexes. Circulating ghrelin levels, however, do not change during energy expenditure. 相似文献

Leptin is an adipocyte hormone that signals nutritional status to the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral organs. Leptin is also synthetized in the placenta and in gastrointestinal tract, although its role in these tissues is not yet clear. Circulating concentrations of leptin exhibit pulsatility and circadian rhythmicity. The levels of plasma leptin vary directly with body mass index and percentage body fat, and leptin contributes to the regulation of body weight. Leptin plasma concentrations are also influenced by metabolic hormones, sex, and body energy requirements. Defects in the leptin signaling pathway result in obesity in animal models. Only a few obese humans have been identified with mutations in the leptin gene or in the leptin receptor; however, most cases of obesity in humans are associated with high leptin levels. Thus, in humans obesity may represent a state of leptin resistance. Minute-to-minute fluctuations in peripheral leptin concentrations influence the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axes, indicating that leptin may be a modulator of reproduction, stress-related endocrine function, and behavior. This suggests potential roles for leptin or its antagonists in the diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of several human diseases. 相似文献

Early changes in neuroendocrine pathways are essential in the development of metabolic pathologies. Thus, it is important
to have a better understanding of the signals involved in their initiation. Long-term consumption of high-fat diets induces
insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes. Here, we have investigated early neural and endocrine events in the hypothalamus and
hippocampus induced by a short-term high fat, low carbohydrate diet in adult male Wistar rats. The release of serotonin, which
is closely associated with the actions of insulin and leptin, was measured, by electrochemical detection following reverse-phase
liquid chromatography (HPLC), in the extracellular space of the medial hypothalamus and the dorsal hippocampus in samples
obtained from non-anesthetized animals, by microdialysis. The high-fat diet had a specific effect on the hypothalamus. Serotonin
release induced by food intake was reduced after 1 week, and effectively ceased after 6 weeks of the diet. After 1 week, there
was an increased gene expression of the insulin receptor and the insulin receptor substrates IRS1 and IRS2, as measured by
real-time PCR. After 6 weeks of diet, insulin gene expression increased. Leptinemia increased in all cases. This new data
support the concept that high-fat diets, in addition to have peripheral effects, cause a rapid alteration in specific central
mechanisms involved in energy and glucose homeostasis. The changes in the gene expression of insulin and signaling elements
represent possible adaptations aimed at counterbalancing the reduced responsiveness of the serotonergic system to nutritional
signals and maintaining homeostasis.

Hypothalamic neural projections are permanently disrupted in diet-induced obese rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) is a key component of hypothalamic pathways regulating energy balance, and leptin is required for normal development of ARH projections. Diet-induced obesity (DIO) has a polygenic mode of inheritance, and DIO individuals develop the metabolic syndrome when a moderate amount of fat is added to the diet. Here we demonstrate that rats selectively bred to develop DIO, which are known to be leptin resistant before they become obese, have defective ARH projections that persist into adulthood. Furthermore, the ability of leptin to activate intracellular signaling in ARH neurons in vivo and to promote ARH neurite outgrowth in vitro is significantly reduced in DIO neonates. Thus, animals that are genetically predisposed toward obesity display an abnormal organization of hypothalamic pathways involved in energy homeostasis that may be the result of diminished responsiveness of ARH neurons to the trophic actions of leptin during postnatal development. 相似文献

The mechanism by which mice, exposed to the cold, mobilize endogenous or exogenous fuel sources for heat production is unknown. To address this issue we carried out experiments using 3 models of obesity in mice: C57BL/6J+/+ (wild-type B6) mice with variable susceptibility to obesity in response to being fed a high-fat diet (HFD), B6. Ucp1-/- mice with variable diet-induced obesity (DIO) and a deficiency in brown fat thermogenesis and B6. Lep-/- with defects in thermogenesis, fat mobilization and hyperphagia. Mice were exposed to the cold and monitored for changes in food intake and body composition to determine their energy balance phenotype. Upon cold exposure wild-type B6 and Ucp1-/- mice with diet-induced obesity burned endogenous fat in direct proportion to their fat reserves and changes in food intake were inversely related to fat mass, whereas leptin-deficient and lean wild-type B6 mice fed a chow diet depended on increased food intake to fuel thermogenesis. Analysis of gene expression in the hypothalamus to uncover a central regulatory mechanism revealed suppression of the Npvf gene in a manner that depends on the reduced ambient temperature and degree of exposure to the cold, but not on adiposity, leptin levels, food intake or functional brown fat. 相似文献

β‐Aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA), a thymine catabolite, increases fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in liver and reduces the gain of body fat mass in Swiss (lean) mice fed a standard chow. We determined whether BAIBA could prevent obesity and related metabolic disorders in different murine models. To this end, BAIBA (100 or 500 mg/kg/day) was administered for 4 months in mice totally deficient in leptin (ob/ob). BAIBA (100 mg/kg/day) was also given for 4 months in wild‐type (+/+) mice and mice partially deficient in leptin (ob/+) fed a high‐calorie (HC) diet. BAIBA did not limit obesity and hepatic steatosis in ob/ob mice, but reduced liver cytolysis and inflammation. In ob/+ mice fed the HC diet, BAIBA fully prevented, or limited, the gain of body fat, steatosis and necroinflammation, glucose intolerance, and hypertriglyceridemia. Plasma β‐hydroxybutyrate was increased, whereas expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase‐1 was augmented in liver and white adipose tissue. Acetyl‐CoA carboxylase was more phosphorylated, and de novo lipogenesis was less induced in liver. These favorable effects of BAIBA in ob/+ mice were associated with a restoration of plasma leptin levels. The reduction of body adiposity afforded by BAIBA was less marked in +/+ mice. Finally, BAIBA significantly stimulated the secretion of leptin in isolated ob/+ adipose cells, but not in +/+ cells. Thus, BAIBA could limit triglyceride accretion in tissues through a leptin‐dependent stimulation of FAO. As partial leptin deficiency is not uncommon in the general population, supplementation with BAIBA may help to prevent diet‐induced obesity and related metabolic disorders in low leptin secretors. 相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that leptin acts centrally to differentially modulate the ultradian communication of leptin, insulin and ghrelin with the hypothalamus. The ultradian fluctuation of these hormones in plasma after central leptin gene therapy was analyzed. Increased leptin transgene expression in the hypothalamus significantly decreased energy intake and body weight concomitant with severe hypoleptinemia and hypoinsulinemia resulting from drastically suppressed peak heights with unchanged frequency discharge of these hormones. Ghrelin secretion was, however, increased solely due to increased pulse amplitude. In pair-fed control rats leptin and ghrelin secretion was unchanged. In conclusion, independent of restraint on caloric intake and weight, leptin acting centrally modulates only the pulse amplitude of ultradian rhythmicity of the three afferent signals involved in the hypothalamic integration of energy balance. Since rhythmic discharge patterns dictate target response of hormones, these findings reveal a novel hypothalamic action of leptin in the pathophysiology of the obesity-dependent metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

This review critically reappraises recent scientific evidence concerning central leptin insufficiency versus leptin resistance formulations to explain metabolic and neural disorders resulting from subnormal or defective leptin signaling in various sites in the brain. Research at various fronts to unravel the complexities of the neurobiology of leptin is surveyed to provide a comprehensive account of the neural and metabolic effects of environmentally imposed fluctuations in leptin availability at brain sites and the outcome of newer technology to restore leptin signaling in a site-specific manner. The cumulative new knowledge favors a unified central leptin insufficiency syndrome over the, in vogue, central resistance hypothesis to explain the global adverse impact of deficient leptin signaling in the brain. Furthermore, the leptin insufficiency syndrome delineates a novel role of leptin in the hypothalamus in restraining rhythmic pancreatic insulin secretion while concomitantly enhancing glucose metabolism and non-shivering thermogenic energy expenditure, sequelae that would otherwise promote fat accrual to store excess energy resulting from consumption of energy-enriched diets. A concerted effort should now focus on development of newer technologies for delivery of leptin or leptin mimetics to specifically target neural pathways for remediation of diverse ailments encompassing the central leptin insufficiency syndrome. 相似文献

Neuromedin U (NMU) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates body weight and composition. Here we show that mice lacking the gene encoding NMU (Nmu(-/-) mice) develop obesity. Nmu(-/-) mice showed increased body weight and adiposity, hyperphagia, and decreased locomotor activity and energy expenditure. Obese Nmu(-/-) mice developed hyperleptinemia, hyperinsulinemia, late-onset hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. Notably, however, treatment with exogenous leptin was effective in reducing body weight in obese Nmu(-/-) mice. In addition, central leptin administration did not affect NMU gene expression in the hypothalamus of rats. These results indicate that NMU plays an important role in the regulation of feeding behavior and energy metabolism independent of the leptin signaling pathway. These characteristic functions of NMU may provide new insight for understanding the pathophysiological basis of obesity. 相似文献

Overnutrition is associated with chronic inflammation in metabolic tissues. Whether metabolic inflammation compromises the neural regulatory systems and therefore promotes overnutrition-associated diseases remains unexplored. Here we show that a mediator of metabolic inflammation, IKKbeta/NF-kappaB, normally remains inactive although enriched in hypothalamic neurons. Overnutrition atypically activates hypothalamic IKKbeta/NF-kappaB at least in part through elevated endoplasmic reticulum stress in the hypothalamus. While forced activation of hypothalamic IKKbeta/NF-kappaB interrupts central insulin/leptin signaling and actions, site- or cell-specific suppression of IKKbeta either broadly across the brain or locally within the mediobasal hypothalamus, or specifically in hypothalamic AGRP neurons significantly protects against obesity and glucose intolerance. The molecular mechanisms involved include regulation by IKKbeta/NF-kappaB of SOCS3, a core inhibitor of insulin and leptin signaling. Our results show that the hypothalamic IKKbeta/NF-kappaB program is a general neural mechanism for energy imbalance underlying obesity and suggest that suppressing hypothalamic IKKbeta/NF-kappaB may represent a strategy to combat obesity and related diseases. 相似文献
