Intraperitoneal urocortin inhibits gastric emptying and food intake in mice. We investigated corticotropin-releasing factor receptor (CRF-R) subtypes involved in intraperitoneal urocortin actions using selective CRF-R antagonists. Gastric emptying was measured 2 h after a chow meal, and food intake was measured hourly after an 18-h fast in mice. Urocortin (3 microg/kg ip) inhibited gastric emptying by 88%. The CRF-R1/CRF-R2 antagonist astressin B (30 microg/kg ip) and the selective CRF-R2 antagonist antisauvagine-30 (100 microg/kg ip) completely antagonized urocortin action, whereas the selective CRF-R1 antagonist CP-154,526 (10 mg/kg ip) had no effect. Urocortin (1-10 microg/kg ip) dose dependently decreased the 2-h cumulative food intake by 30-62%. Urocortin (3 microg/kg)-induced hypophagia was completely antagonized by astressin B (30 microg/kg ip) and partially (35 and 31%) by antisauvagine-30 (100 or 200 microg/kg ip). The CRF-R1 antagonists CP-154,526 or DMP904 (10 mg/kg ip) had no effect. Capsaicin did not alter urocortin-inhibitory actions while blocking the satiety effect of intraperitoneal CCK. These data indicate that intraperitoneal urocortin-induced decrease in feeding is only partly mediated by CRF-R2, whereas urocortin action to delay gastric emptying of a meal involves primarily CRF-R2. 相似文献

Ghrelin is an endogenous regulator of energy homeostasis synthesized by the stomach to stimulate appetite and positive energy balance. Similarly, the endocannabinoid system is part of our internal machinery controlling food intake and energy expenditure. Both peripheral and central mechanisms regulate CB1-mediated control of food intake and a functional relationship between hypothalamic ghrelin and cannabinoid CB1 receptor has been proposed. First of all, we investigated brain ghrelin actions on food intake in rats with different metabolic status (negative or equilibrate energy balance). Secondly, we tested a sub-anxiogenic ultra-low dose of the CB1 antagonist SR141716A (Rimonabant) and the peripheral-acting CB1 antagonist LH-21 on ghrelin orexigenic actions. We found that: 1) central administration of ghrelin promotes food intake in free feeding animals but not in 24 h food-deprived or chronically food-restricted animals; 2) an ultra-low dose of SR141716A (a subthreshold dose 75 folds lower than the EC50 for induction of anxiety) completely counteracts the orexigenic actions of central ghrelin in free feeding animals; 3) the peripheral-restricted CB1 antagonist LH-21 blocks ghrelin-induced hyperphagia in free feeding animals. Our study highlights the importance of the animaĺs metabolic status for the effectiveness of ghrelin in promoting feeding, and suggests that the peripheral endocannabinoid system may interact with ghrelińs signal in the control of food intake under equilibrate energy balance conditions. 相似文献

Cannabinoid (CB)1 receptor inverse agonists inhibit food intake in animals and humans but also potentiate emesis. It is not clear whether these effects result from inverse agonist properties or from the blockade of endogenous cannabinoid signaling. Here, we examine the effect of a neutral CB1 antagonist, AM4113, on food intake, weight gain, and emesis. Neutral antagonist and binding properties were confirmed in HEK-293 cells transfected with human CB1 or CB2 receptors. AM4113 had no effect on forskolin-stimulated cAMP production at concentrations up to 630 nM. The Ki value of AM4113 (0.80 +/- 0.44 nM) in competitive binding assays with the CB1/2 agonist [3H]CP55,940 was 100-fold more selective for CB1 over CB2 receptors. We determined that AM4113 antagonized CB1 receptors in brain by blocking hypothermia induced by CP55,940. AM4113 (0-20 mg/kg) significantly reduced food intake and weight gain in rat. Compared with AM251, higher doses of AM4113 were needed to produce similar effects on food intake and body weight. Unlike AM251 (5 mg/kg), a highly anorectic dose of AM4113 (10 mg/kg) did not significantly potentiate vomiting induced by the emetic morphine-6-glucoronide. We show that a centrally active neutral CB1 receptor antagonist shares the appetite suppressant and weight loss effects of inverse agonists. If these compounds display similar properties in humans, they could be developed into a new class of antiobesity agents. 相似文献

Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an endogenous ligand of a G protein-coupled receptornamed NOP. This neuropeptide has been identified as an orexigenic stimulus in the brain of birds and mammals. The purpose of the present study was to clarify whether blockade or stimulation of nociceptin receptors affects adrenaline-induced feeding behaviour in broilers. In Experiment 1, birds received intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of Nociceptin (1–13) NH2 (potent NOP receptor agonist, 16 nmol) followed by adrenaline (80 nmol). In Experiment 2, the birds received UFP-101, (NOP receptor antagonist, 10 nmol) prior to injection of adrenaline (80 nmol). Cumulative food and water intake was measured at 2 h post-injection. When administrated alone, adrenaline significantly increased food and water intake. The ICV injection of Nociceptin (1–13) NH2 significantly increased food intake but not water intake. Pre-injection of Nociceptin (1–13) NH2 significantly increased the adrenaline-induced feeding response. The effect of adrenaline on food intake was transiently blocked by microinjection of UFP-101. UFP-101-induced anorexia was accompanied by a transient increase in water intake. The transient dipsogenic effect of UFP-101 suggests a role of endogenous N/OFQ-NOP receptor pathways in the regulation of water intake in chickens, which is food intake-independent. These results also provide further evidence for a reciprocal interaction between adrenergic receptors and N/OFQ on feeding behavior. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether central administration of substance P (SP), a tachykinin neuropeptide, influenced feeding behavior in layer chicks (Gallus gallus). Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injections of 5 nmol SP decreased food intake in 5- and 6-day-old chicks under both ad libitum and 3-h fasting conditions. There are 3 major subtypes of tachykinin receptors, namely, neurokinin 1, 2 and 3 receptors. Injection of neurokinin A and neurokinin B, which are respectively endogenous agonists for neurokinin 2 and 3 receptors, did not suppress feeding behavior in chicks, suggesting that the anorexigenic effect of SP might be mediated by the neurokinin 1 receptor rather than neurokinin 2 and 3 receptors. Chicks that received 5 nmol SP did not change their locomotion, standing, sitting or drinking time, suggesting that its anorexigenic action might not be due to SP-induced hyperactivity or sedation. ICV injection of SP increased water intake, also indicating that SP likely did not affect feeding behavior through malaise. In addition, the anorexigenic effect of SP might not be related to corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) because plasma corticosterone concentration was not affected by ICV injection of SP and co-administration of the CRH receptor antagonist astressin did not affect the anorexigenic effect of SP. The present study suggests that central SP acts as an anorexigenic neuropeptide in chicks. 相似文献

Cannabinoid receptor CB1 is expressed abundantly in the brain and presumably in the peripheral tissues responsible for energy metabolism. It is unclear if the antiobesity effects of rimonabant, a CB1 antagonist, are mediated through the central or the peripheral CB1 receptors. To address this question, we generated transgenic mice with central nervous system (CNS)-specific knockdown (KD) of CB1, by expressing an artificial microRNA (AMIR) under the control of the neuronal Thy1.2 promoter. In the mutant mice, CB1 expression was reduced in the brain and spinal cord, whereas no change was observed in the superior cervical ganglia (SCG), sympathetic trunk, enteric nervous system, and pancreatic ganglia. In contrast to the neuronal tissues, CB1 was undetectable in the brown adipose tissue (BAT) or the liver. Consistent with the selective loss of central CB1, agonist-induced hypothermia was attenuated in the mutant mice, but the agonist-induced delay of gastrointestinal transit (GIT), a primarily peripheral nervous system-mediated effect, was not. Compared to wild-type (WT) littermates, the mutant mice displayed reduced body weight (BW), adiposity, and feeding efficiency, and when fed a high-fat diet (HFD), showed decreased plasma insulin, leptin, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, and elevated adiponectin levels. Furthermore, the therapeutic effects of rimonabant on food intake (FI), BW, and serum parameters were markedly reduced and correlated with the degree of CB1 KD. Thus, KD of CB1 in the CNS recapitulates the metabolic phenotype of CB1 knockout (KO) mice and diminishes rimonabant's efficacy, indicating that blockade of central CB1 is required for rimonabant's antiobesity actions. 相似文献

Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) reduces food intake and body weight and modifies body temperature when administered centrally in rats, suggesting a role in energy homeostasis. However, the mediators of PrRP's actions are unknown. The present study, therefore, first examined the possible involvement of the anorectic neuropeptides corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and the melanocortins (e.g., alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) in PrRP's effects on food intake and core body temperature and, second, determined if PrRP affects energy expenditure by measuring oxygen consumption (Vo2). Intracerebroventricular injection of PrRP (4 nmol) to 24-h-fasted male Sprague-Dawley rats decreased food intake and modified body temperature. Blockade of central CRH receptors by intracerebroventricular coadministration of the CRH receptor antagonist astressin (20 microg) reversed the PrRP-induced reduction in feeding. However, astressin's effect on PrRP-induced changes in body temperature was complicated because the antagonist itself caused a slight rise in body temperature. In contrast, intracerebroventricular coadministration of the melanocortin receptor-3/4 antagonist SHU-9119 (0.1 nmol) had no effect on any of PrRP's actions. Finally, intracerebroventricular injection of PrRP (4 nmol) caused a significantly greater Vo2 over a 3-h test period compared with vehicle-treated rats. These results show that the anorectic actions of PrRP are mediated by central CRH receptors but not by melanocortin receptors-3/4 and that PrRP can modify Vo2. 相似文献

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is known to induce robust feeding through the action of NPY receptors in the hypothalamus. Among the subtypes of NPY receptors, Y(1) receptors may play a key role in feeding regulation. In the present study, we demonstrated that a novel Y(1) antagonist, J-104870, shows high selectivity and potency for the Y(1) receptor with an anorexigenic effect on NPY-mediated feeding. J-104870 displaced [(125)I]peptide YY (PYY) binding to cloned human and rat Y(1) receptors with K(i) values of 0.29 and 0.54 nM, respectively, and inhibited the NPY (10 nM)-induced increase in intracellular calcium levels (IC(50) = 3.2 nM) in cells expressing human Y(1) receptors. In contrast, J-104870 showed low affinities for human Y(2) (K(i) > 10 microM), Y(4) (K(i) > 10 microM), and Y(5) receptors (K(i) = 6 microM). In rat hypothalamic membranes, J-104870 also completely displaced the binding of [(125)I]1229U91, which is known to bind to the typical Y(1) receptor, with a high affinity (K(i) = 2.0 nM). Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of J-104870 (200 microg) significantly suppressed NPY (5 microg)-induced feeding in satiated Sprague-Dawley rats by 74%. Furthermore, ICV and oral administration of J-104870 (200 microg and 100 mg/kg, respectively) significantly suppressed spontaneous food intake in Zucker fatty rats. These findings suggested that J-104870 is a selective and potent nonpeptide Y(1) antagonist with oral bioavailability and brain penetrability. In addition, the anorexigenic effect of J-104870 clearly revealed the participation of the Y(1) receptor in NPY-mediated feeding regulation. The potent and orally active Y(1) antagonist J-104970 is a useful tool for elucidating the physiological roles of NPY in obesity. 相似文献

The pontine parabrachial nucleus (PBN) has been implicated in regulating ingestion and contains opioids that promote feeding elsewhere in the brain. We tested the actions of the selective mu-opioid receptor (mu-OR) agonist [d-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly5-ol]enkephalin (DAMGO) in the PBN on feeding in male rats with free access to food. Infusing DAMGO (0.5-4.0 nmol/0.5 microl) into the lateral parabrachial region (LPBN) increased food intake. The hyperphagic effect was anatomically specific to infusions within the LPBN, dose and time related, and selective for ingestion of chow compared with (nonnutritive) kaolin. The nonselective opioid antagonist naloxone (0.1-10.0 nmol intra-PBN) antagonized DAMGO-induced feeding, with complete blockade by 1.0 nmol and no effect on baseline. The highly selective mu-opioid antagonist d-Phe-Cys-Trp-Arg-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (CTAP; 1.0 nmol) also prevented this action of DAMGO, but the kappa-antagonist nor-binaltorphimine did not. Naloxone and CTAP (10.0 nmol) decreased intake during scheduled feeding. Thus stimulating mu-ORs in the LPBN increases feeding, whereas antagonizing these sites inhibits feeding. Together, our results implicate mu-ORs in the LPBN in the normal regulation of food intake. 相似文献

In mammals and birds, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are found in brain areas known to be involved in the control of ingestive behavior and act to increase voluntary food intake. In rats, significant evidence suggest a functional and behavioral interaction between NPY and GABA mediated transmission in various brain regions, including the arcuate and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus which can be important in the regulation of feeding behavior. In the present study, the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of NPY and GABA receptor antagonists on food intake was examined in neonatal chicks. The ICV injection of NPY strongly stimulated food intake while co-administration of NPY and picrotoxin, a GABAA antagonist, (but not CGP54626, a GABAB antagonist) weakened food intake induced by NPY. These results suggest that central NPY stimulates food intake in neonatal chicks by interaction with the GABAergic system via GABAA receptors. 相似文献

Studies have shown a reduction of food intake following peripheral and brain injection of CCK. However, it remains to be established whether endogenous central CCK is involved in the regulation of food intake. We investigated the role of central CCK in the regulation of food intake by pharmacological manipulation of the CCKB (CCK2) receptor system. Intracerebroventricularly (ICV) cannulated male Sprague Dawley rats were fasted for 24 h and received an ICV injection of the CCKB receptor antagonist CI988 at a dose of 10 nmol or 49 nmol or vehicle. Another group received two consecutive ICV injections consisting of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptor-1 (CRF1) antagonist, CP376395 (3 nmol) or the CRF2 receptor antagonist, K41498 (2 nmol) alone, or followed by CI988 (49 nmol). Lastly, another group of rats received an intraperitoneal (IP) injection of the dopamine antagonist, flupentixol (∼197 and ∼493 nmol/kg) alone, or followed by CI988 (49 nmol, ICV). Cumulative food intake was assessed for 11 h. Vehicle injected rats showed a robust feeding response. CI988 at 49 nmol reduced food intake by 30% starting at 2 h post injection. CP376395 and K41498 had no effect on food intake. Flupentixol injected IP at a dose of 197 and 493 nmol/kg alone did not modulate food intake whereas the higher dose blocked the CI988-induced reduction of feeding. During the dark phase, CI988 had no effect on food intake in unfasted rats. In summary, CCKB signaling is involved in the regulation of food intake after a fast likely by downstream dopamine signaling. 相似文献

It is known that, in rats, central and peripheral ghrelin increases food intake mainly through activation of neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons. In contrast, intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of ghrelin inhibits food intake in neonatal chicks. We examined the mechanism governing this inhibitory effect in chicks. The ICV injection of ghrelin or corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), which also inhibits feeding and causes hyperactivity in chicks. Thus, we examined the interaction of ghrelin with CRF and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The ICV injection of ghrelin increased plasma corticosterone levels in a dose-dependent or a time-dependent manner. Co-injection of a CRF receptor antagonist, astressin, attenuated ghrelin-induced plasma corticosterone increase and anorexia. In addition, we also investigated the effect of ghrelin on NPY-induced food intake and on expression of hypothalamic NPY mRNA. Co-injection of ghrelin with NPY inhibited NPY-induced increase in food intake, and the ICV injection of ghrelin did not change NPY mRNA expression. These results indicate that central ghrelin does not interact with NPY as seen in rodents, but instead inhibits food intake by interacting with the endogenous CRF and its receptor. 相似文献

A variety of evidence implicates the orexins, especially orexin-A, in the regulation of food intake, but it has not been established whether this effect is mediated by the orexin-1 or orexin-2 receptor. In the present study, a selective orexin-1 receptor antagonist, 1-(2-methylbenzoxazol-6-yl)-3-[1,5]naphthyridin-4-yl urea hydrochloride (SB-334867-A), was administered intraperitoneally to rats under various conditions, and food consumption was subsequently measured over 24 h. In male rats, a single dose of SB-334867-A (30 mg/kg, i.p.) given during the light phase reduced both orexin-A-induced food intake (7 nmol, i.c.v.) and feeding stimulated by an overnight fast for 4 h. When given at the start of the dark phase, food consumption was reduced in both male and female rats over 24 h. Daily injections at the start of the dark phase for 3 days reduced natural feeding in male rats over 24 h on days one and three. These findings demonstrate direct inhibition of orexin-A induced food intake with a selective orexin-1 receptor antagonist. Furthermore, the suppression of nocturnal feeding and food intake stimulated by an overnight fast supports other evidence that orexin-A is involved in the regulation of natural feeding and suggests that orexin-1 receptor antagonists could be useful in the treatment of obesity. 相似文献

Intraperitoneal injection of CCK reduces food intake and triggers a behavioral pattern similar to natural satiation. Reduction of food intake by CCK is mediated by vagal afferents that innervate the stomach and small intestine. These afferents synapse in the hindbrain nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) where gastrointestinal satiation signals are processed. Previously, we demonstrated that intraperitoneal (IP) administration of either competitive or noncompetitive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists attenuates reduction of food intake by CCK. However, because vagal afferents themselves express NMDA receptors at both central and peripheral endings, our results did not speak to the question of whether NMDA receptors in the brain play an essential role in reduction of feeding by CCK. We hypothesized that activation of NMDA receptors in the NTS is necessary for reduction of food intake by CCK. To test this hypothesis, we measured food intake following IP CCK, subsequent to NMDA receptor antagonist injections into the fourth ventricle, directly into the NTS or subcutaneously. We found that either fourth-ventricle or NTS injection of the noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 was sufficient to inhibit CCK-induced reduction of feeding, while the same antagonist doses injected subcutaneously did not. Similarly fourth ventricle injection of d-3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)-1-propenyl-1-phosphoric acid (d-CPPene), a competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, also blocked reduction of food intake following IP CCK. Finally, d-CPPene injected into the fourth ventricle attenuated CCK-induced expression of nuclear c-Fos immunoreactivity in the dorsal vagal complex. We conclude that activation of NMDA receptors in the hindbrain is necessary for the reduction of food intake by CCK. Hindbrain NMDA receptors could comprise a critical avenue for control and modulation of satiation signals to influence food intake and energy balance. 相似文献

Endocannabinoids (ECBs) are ubiquitous lipid mediators that act through the same G protein-coupled receptors (CB1 and CB2) that recognize plant-derived cannabinoids. As regulators of metabolism, ECBs are anabolic: they increase the intake, promote the storage, and decrease the expenditure of energy. Recent work indicates that activation of peripheral CB1 receptors by ECBs plays a key role in the hormonal/metabolic changes associated with obesity/metabolic syndrome and may be targeted for its pharmacotherapy. 相似文献

Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and its receptors are critical and indispensable for maintaining appropriate feeding behavior and energy homeostasis in both mice and humans. Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is a candidate for mediating the anorexic effect of α-MSH. In the present study, we examined whether CRF and its receptors are involved in the anorexic effect of α-MSH, using CRF-deficient (CRFKO) mice and a CRF receptor antagonist. Intracerebroventricular administration of NDP-MSH, a synthetic α-MSH analogue, suppressed food intake in wild-type (WT) mice. This effect was abolished by pretreatment with a non-selective CRF receptor antagonist, astressin, suggesting that the effect of α-MSH-induced anorexia was mediated by a CRF receptor. In CRFKO mice, administration with NDP-MSH did not affect food intake at an early phase (0–4 h). In addition, CRF mRNA levels in the hypothalamus were significantly increased in NDP-MSH-treated mice. Therefore, our findings, using CRFKO, strongly support evidence that CRF is involved in the acute anorexic effect of α-MSH. On the other hand, NDP-MSH administered to CRFKO mice led to suppressed food intake at the late phase (4–12 h), similar to the effect in WT mice. Further, NDP-MSH similarly reduced food intake during the late phase in all types of mice, including WT, CRFKO, and CRFKO with corticosterone replacement. The results would suggest that α-MSH-induced suppression of food intake at late phase was independent of glucocorticoids and CRF. 相似文献

These studies investigated feeding responses to indirect activation of parabrachial cannabinoid CB1 receptors. Arachidonoyl serotonin (AA5HT), an inhibitor of the endocannabinoid degradative enzyme, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), was infused into the parabrachial nucleus of male Sprague-Dawley rats, and intakes of high-fat/sucrose pellets and standard rodent chow were subsequently evaluated under various feeding schedules. FAAH blockade stimulated the intake of high-fat/sucrose pellets that were presented daily for 4 h during the light period, with compensatory decreases in the consumption of standard chow during the ensuing 20 h. These diet-selective changes were repeated on the next day, indicating a shift in feeding toward the more palatable diet that lasted for 48 h after a single infusion. The cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist, AM251, blocked the orexigenic actions of AA5HT, implicating CB1 receptors in mediating the feeding responses to FAAH inactivation. When the feeding schedule was reversed, AA5HT produced nominal increases in the consumption of standard chow for the 4-h access period, but substantial increases in the intake of high-fat/sucrose during the following 20-h interval. When presented with only high-fat/sucrose diet for 24 h, AA5HT increased 24-h food intake. In contrast, when given 24-h access only to standard chow, AA5HT failed to affect intake. Therefore, indirectly activating parabrachial CB1 receptors by blocking the degradation of native ligands selectively stimulates the intake of palatable food, with differential actions on total energy intake depending upon the feeding schedule. Our results support a role for parabrachial cannabinoid mechanisms in providing physiological regulation to neural substrates modulating feeding, energy balance, and behavioral responses for natural reward. 相似文献

Opioid peptides have been implicated in regulation of feeding in invertebrates. Studies have suggested that receptors for opioids are present in cockroaches and that these receptors play roles in affecting both behaviour and feeding. We examined the effect of µ, δ, and κ opioid receptor agonists and antagonists on feeding, mass changes and activity in the cockroach, Periplaneta americana. The κ antagonist, nor-binaltorphimine, significantly increased food intake, while naltrexone (general antagonist) and naloxonazine (µ antagonist) both reduced feeding. A large mass loss was observed in cockroaches treated with nor-binaltorphimine, despite the increased food intake. Males did not lose as much mass during the 3 h as females, although drug treatment did have some effect on the loss. Time of activity (%) was not influenced by any drug. Water loss experiments suggested that nor-binaltorphimine increased water loss, accounting for the mass loss despite the increased feeding. We suggest that two populations of opioid receptors are present as previously reported, with one affecting feeding and the other involved with evaporative water loss. 相似文献

The effects of the non-peptide selective angiotensin II AT1 receptor antagonist DuP 753 and its metabolite EXP 3174, of the peptide ANGII analogues saralasin and sarmesin and of the newly synthesized imidazole compound (1-methyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole) on ANGII-induced drinking in rats were investigated. The effect of the AT2 selective antagonist PD 123319 on ANGII-induced drinking in rats was also studied. DuP 753, EXP 3174, saralasin and sarmesin (peptides and non-peptides) dose-dependently inhibited ANGII-induced water intake. The ID50 values of these drugs showed the following order of potency: EXP 3174 > saralasin > sarmesin > DuP 753 indicating their ability to block central AT1 receptors. The imidazole compound increased ANGII-induced water intake suggesting its AT1 receptor agonistic properties. PD 123319 inhibited ANGII-induced water intake at a higher dose (64 nmol), allowing to assume AT1 receptor agonistic properties. 相似文献

Melanocortin receptors are considered promising candidates for the treatment of behavioral and metabolic disorders ranging from obesity to anorexia and cachexia. These experiments examined the response of mice to peripheral injections of two compounds. PG932 is a derivative of SHU9119 which is non-selective antagonist of melanocortin-3 and melanocortin-4 receptors (Mc3r and Mc4r). PG946 is a derivative of a hybrid of alpha- and beta-MSH, and is a moderately selective Mc3r antagonist. SHU9119 increases food intake when administered intracerebroventricularly but is without effect when injected into the periphery. In contrast, PG932 was found to be highly effective at stimulating food intake when administered peripherally by intraperitoneal injection. The orexigenic effect of PG932 required functional Mc4r, suggesting that inhibition of this receptor is involved in the stimulation of food intake. PG946 did not significantly affect on feeding behavior. PG932 is thus a useful new compound for studies examining the regulation of appetite and energy balance, and may also prove useful for the treatment of cachectic conditions. 相似文献
