Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), an insulinotropic gastrointestinal peptide produced mainly from intestinal endocrine L-cells, and liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, induce satiety. The serotonin 5-HT2C receptor (5-HT2CR) and melanoroctin-4 receptor (MC4R) are involved in the regulation of food intake. Here we show that systemic administration of GLP-1 (50 and 200 μg/kg)-induced anorexia was blunted in mice with a 5HT2CR null mutation, and was attenuated in mice with a heterozygous MC4R mutation. On the other hand, systemic administration of liraglutide (50 and 100 μg/kg) suppressed food intake in mice lacking 5-HT2CR, mice with a heterozygous mutation of MC4R and wild-type mice matched for age. Moreover, once-daily consecutive intraperitoneal administration of liraglutide (100 μg/kg) over 3 days significantly suppressed daily food intake and body weight in mice with a heterozygous mutation of MC4R as well as wild-type mice. These findings suggest that GLP-1 and liraglutide induce anorexia via different central pathways. 相似文献

The glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, liraglutide (Victoza) and the synthetic product of exendin-4 (Byetta), are approved for type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatment and may be efficacious in obesity treatment as well, in part, due to the drugs' resistance to enzymatic degradation and prolonged half-life relative to endogenous GLP-1. To address the need to directly compare the food intake- and body weight-suppressive effects of these two GLP-1R ligands, acute and chronic dosing experiments were performed. Once-daily (q.d.) exendin-4 (0, 0.33, 1.5, and 3.0 μg/kg) and liraglutide (0, 50, 100, and 300 μg/kg, q.d.) both reduced the chow intake in nonobese rats in a dose-dependent fashion following either intraperitoneal (IP) or subcutaneous (SC) administration, whereas only liraglutide reduced 24 and 48 h body weight in nonobese, chow-maintained rats. Chow intake and body weight suppression by liraglutide were of greater magnitude and shorter latency following IP compared to SC delivery, whereas for exendin-4, the magnitude of intake-suppression was similar for IP and SC administration. The effects of chronic delivery (7 consecutive days; IP) of liraglutide (25 and 50 μg/kg; q.d.) and exendin-4 (3 μg/kg; q.d. and twice-daily (b.i.d.)) on food intake and body weight were also examined in diet-induced obese (DIO) rats. Liraglutide (50 μg/kg q.d.) and exendin-4 (3 μg/kg b.i.d.) were comparable in suppressing overall high fat/sucrose diet (HFS; 60% kcal from fat) intake. Both drugs regimens yielded marked weight loss over the 7-day period. The weight loss effect of liraglutide was achieved in the first 2 days and remained stable for the duration of the experiment; weight loss with exendin-4 appeared more linear over the 7-day period. In conclusion, administration of the GLP-1R ligands, exendin-4 (b.i.d.) and liraglutide (q.d.), lead to comparable and pronounced suppression of food intake and body weight in DIO rats, suggesting a potential role for these drugs as a clinical tool for obesity treatment. 相似文献

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced by and released from the small intestine following ingestion of nutrients. GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists applied peripherally or centrally decrease food intake and increase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. These effects make the GLP-1 system an attractive target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. In addition to these more frequently studied effects of GLP-1R stimulation, previous reports indicate that GLP-1R agonists suppress water intake. The present experiments were designed to provide greater temporal resolution and site specificity for the effect of GLP-1 and the long-acting GLP-1R agonists, exendin-4 and liraglutide, on unstimulated water intake when food was and was not available. All three GLP-1R ligands suppressed water intake after peripheral intraperitoneal administration, both in the presence of and the absence of food; however, the magnitude and time frame of water intake suppression varied by drug. GLP-1 had an immediate, but transient, hypodipsic effect when administered peripherally, whereas the water intake suppression by IP exendin-4 and liraglutide was much more persistent. Additionally, intracerebroventricular administration of GLP-1R agonists suppressed water intake when food was absent, but the suppression of intake showed modest differences depending on whether the drug was administered to the lateral or fourth ventricle. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of GLP-1 receptor agonists affecting unstimulated, overnight intake in the absence of food, the first test for antidipsogenic effects of hindbrain application of GLP-1 receptor agonists, and the first test of a central effect (forebrain or hindbrain) of liraglutide on water intake. Overall, these results show that GLP-1R agonists have a hypodipsic effect that is independent of GLP-1R-mediated effects on food intake, and this occurs, in part, through central nervous system GLP-1R activation. 相似文献

NEFA/nucleobindin2 (NUCB2), a novel satiety molecule, is associated with leptin-independent melanocortin signaling in the central nervous system. Here, we show that systemic administration of m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), a serotonin 5-HT1B/2C receptor agonist, significantly increased the expression of hypothalamic NUCB2 in wild-type mice. The increases in hypothalamic NUCB2 expression induced by mCPP were attenuated in 5-HT2C receptor mutant mice. Systemic administration of mCPP suppressed food intake in db/db mice with leptin receptor mutation as well as lean control mice. On the other hand, the expression of hypothalamic NUCB2 and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) was significantly decreased in hyperphagic and non-obese 5-HT2C receptor mutants compared with age-matched wild-type mice. Interestingly, despite increased expression of hypothalamic POMC, hypothalamic NUCB2 expression was decreased in 5-HT2C receptor mutant mice with heterozygous mutation of β-endorphin gene. These findings suggest that 5-HT systems upregulate the expression of hypothalamic NUCB2 via 5-HT2C receptors, and induce anorexia via a leptin-independent pathway in mice. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4) antagonists on food intake in mice. Food intake during the light phase was significantly increased by ICV administration of mixed MC3/MC4 antagonists (AgRP and SHU9119) or MC4 selective antagonist peptide [(Cyclo (1-5)[Suc-D-Nal-Arg-Trp-Lys]NH2] (MBP10) and the small molecule antagonists THP and NBI-30. Both mixed and selective antagonists significantly reversed anorexia induced by ICV administration of the MC4 agonist (c (1-6) HfRWK-NH2) and the cytokine IL-1beta. These findings provide pharmacological evidence that the MC4 receptor mediates the effects of melanocortin agonists and antagonists on food intake in mice, and support the idea that selective small molecule MC4 antagonists may be useful as therapeutics for cachexia. 相似文献

Estrogens suppress feeding in part by enhancing the response to satiation signals. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) acts on receptor populations both peripherally and centrally to affect food intake. We hypothesized that modulation of the central GLP-1 system is one of the mechanisms underlying the effects of estrogens on feeding. We assessed the anorexic effect of 0, 1, and 10 μg doses of GLP-1 administered into the lateral ventricle of bilaterally ovariectomized (OVX) female rats on a cyclic regimen of either 2 μg β-estradiol-3-benzoate (EB) or oil vehicle 30 min prior to dark onset on the day following hormone treatment. Central GLP-1 treatment significantly suppressed food intake in EB-treated rats at both doses compared to vehicle, whereas only the 10 μg GLP-1 dose was effective in oil-treated rats. To follow up, we examined whether physiologic-dose cyclic estradiol treatment influences GLP-1-induced c-Fos in feeding-relevant brain areas of OVX females. GLP-1 significantly increased c-Fos expression in the area postrema (AP) and nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), and the presence of estrogens may be required for this effect in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN). Together, these data suggest that modulation of the central GLP-1 system may be one of the mechanisms by which estrogens suppress food intake, and highlight the PVN as a region of interest for future investigation. 相似文献

Oxyntomodulin (OXM), a postprandially released intestinal hormone, inhibits food intake via the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R). Although OXM may have clinical value in treating obesity, the cardiovascular effects of OXM are not well understood. Using telemetry to measure heart rate (HR), body temperature (Tb), and activity in conscious and freely moving mice, we tested 1) whether OXM affects HR and 2) whether this effect is mediated by the GLP-1R. We found that peripherally administered OXM significantly increased HR in wild-type mice, raising HR by >200 beats/min to a maximum of 728 +/- 11 beats/min. To determine the extent to which the sympathetic nervous system mediates the tachycardia of OXM, we delivered this hormone to mice deficient in dopamine-beta-hydroxylase [Dbh(-/-) mice], littermate controls [Dbh(+/-) mice], and autonomically blocked C57Bl mice. OXM increased HR equally in all groups (192 +/- 13, 197 +/- 21, and 216 +/- 11 beats/min, respectively), indicating that OXM elevated intrinsic HR. Intrinsic HR was also vigorously elevated by OXM in Glp-1R(-/-) mice (200 +/- 28 beats/min). In addition, peripherally administered OXM inhibited food intake and activity levels in wild-type mice and lowered Tb in autonomically blocked mice. None of these effects were observed in Glp-1R(-/-) mice. These data suggest multiple modes of action of OXM: 1) it directly elevates murine intrinsic HR through a GLP-1R-independent mechanism, perhaps via the glucagon receptor or an unidentified OXM receptor, and 2) it lowers food intake, activity, and Tb in a GLP-1R-dependent fashion. 相似文献

We hypothesized that anorexia induced by novelty stress caused by exposure to a novel environment may be due to activation of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and subsequently mediated by decreasing peripheral ghrelin concentration via serotonin (5-HT) and melanocortin-4 receptors (MC4R). Each mouse was transferred from group-housed cages to individual cages to establish the novelty stress. We observed the effect of changes in feeding behavior in a novel environment using the method of transferring group-housed mice to individual cages. We investigated the effect of an intracerebroventricular injection of antagonists/agonists of CRF1/2 receptors (CRF1/2Rs), 5-HT(1B)/(2C) receptors (5-HT(1B)/(2C)R), and MC4R to clarify the role of each receptor on the decrease in food intake. Plasma ghrelin levels were also measured. The novelty stress caused a reduction in food intake that was abolished by administering a CRF1R antagonist. Three hours after the novelty stress, appetite reduction was associated with reduced levels of neuropeptide Y/agouti-related peptide mRNA, increased levels of proopiomelanocortin mRNA in the hypothalamus, and a decrease in plasma ghrelin level. Administering a CRF1R antagonist, a 5-HT(1B)/(2C)R antagonist, an MC4R antagonist, exogenous ghrelin, and an enhancer of ghrelin secretion, rikkunshito, resolved the reduction in food intake 3 h after the novelty stress by enhancing circulating ghrelin concentrations. We showed that anorexia during a novelty stress is a process in which CRF1R is activated at the early stage of appetite loss and is subsequently activated by a 5-HT(1B)/(2C)R and MC4R stimulus, leading to decreased peripheral ghrelin concentrations. 相似文献

Pharmacological activation of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor and inhibition of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor were found to reduce food intake and body weight in humans and animals. Since earlier studies revealed that endocannabinoids may interact with other neurotransmitters to affect feeding behavior, we have examined whether a stable GLP-1 agonist, exendin-4 and a CB1 receptor antagonist, AM 251, may reciprocally enhance their inhibitory effects on food consumption in the rat. Additionally, we have tested whether the blockade of the GLP-1 receptor by exendin (9-39) modifies AM 251-dependent effects on energy balance. In a dose-response study, male Wistar rats were injected intraperitoneally with either 1.5-6.0 μg/kg exendin-4, 0.5-2 mg/kg AM 251, 80-320 μg/kg exendin (9-39) or their vehicle and the daily food and water intake as well as body weight changes were monitored two days before and two days after the injection. Exendin-4 at a dose of 3.0 and 6.0 μg/kg and AM 251 at a dose 2 mg/kg decreased significantly 24-hour food intake and body weight. Therefore, in the next study, the effects of lower doses of exendin-4 (1.5 μg/kg) and AM 251 (1.0 mg/kg) administered alone or together on food consumption were compared. As opposed to being injected alone, the co-administration of the two resulted in a marked decrease in both daily food intake and body weight. Exendin (9-39) did not modify the suppressory effect of the highest AM 251 dose on food consumption. Apparently, the effect of AM 251 on the appetite is not mediated by GLP-1. The concomitant stimulation of GLP-1 receptor and blockade of CB1 receptor, however, may act synergistically to inhibit appetite in the rat. 相似文献

NOR1, Nur77 and Nurr1 are orphan nuclear receptors and members of the NR4A subfamily. Here, we report that the expression of hypothalamic NOR1 was remarkably decreased in mildly obese β-endorphin-deficient mice and obese db/db mice with the leptin receptor mutation, compared with age-matched wild-type mice, whereas there were no genotypic differences in the expression of hypothalamic Nur77 or Nurr1 in these animals. The injection of NOR1 siRNA oligonucleotide into the third cerebral ventricle significantly suppressed food intake and body weight in mice. On the other hand, the decreases in hypothalamic NOR1 expression were not found in non-obese 5-HT2C receptor-deficient mice. Moreover, systemic administration of m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), a 5-HT2C/1B receptor agonist, had no effect on hypothalamic NOR1 expression, while suppressing food intake in β-endorphin-deficient mice. These findings suggest that 5-HT2C receptor-independent proopiomelanocortin-derived peptides regulate the expression of hypothalamic NOR1, which is a novel modulator of feeding behavior and energy balance. 相似文献

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of liraglutide, a new, stable, once‐daily human analog of glucagon‐like peptide‐1, in a new animal model of obesity. Research Methods and Procedures: Liraglutide was administered subcutaneously once daily (7 μg/kg for 7 weeks) to six female obese Göttingen minipigs. Food intake and feeding patterns were monitored using a novel automated feeding system that allowed continuous recording of food intake. Results: Food intake was strongly suppressed. A steady‐state level of reduced food intake was achieved within 3 weeks and was maintained for the remaining 4 weeks of the treatment period. During the 4‐week steady‐state period with liraglutide treatment, daily food intake was 7.3 ± 0.3 megajoule (MJ) compared with 18.4 ± 0.6 MJ in the pre‐treatment period and 19.2 ± 0.5 MJ in the post‐treatment period (p < 0.001). The food intake in the treatment period was equivalent to the amount of food that would have been offered to normal‐weight pigs for maintenance. Body weight decreased 4.3 ± 1.2 kg (4% to 5%) during the 7 weeks of treatment and increased 7.0 ± 1.0 kg during the 7 weeks of post‐treatment (p < 0.01). Appetite suppression was quickly reversed within 4 days after termination of liraglutide administration. Discussion: Overall, liraglutide was well tolerated and had a profound and persistent anorectic effect that resulted in weight loss. These results, in conjunction with the previously established glucose‐lowering efficacy of liraglutide, suggest that the anorectic actions of liraglutide will be very important in clinical trials of both obese patients with type 2 diabetes and obese non‐diabetic patients. 相似文献

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) activation within the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) suppresses food intake and body weight (BW), but the intracellular signals mediating these effects are unknown. Here, hindbrain (fourth i.c.v.) GLP-1R activation by Exendin-4 (Ex-4) increased PKA and MAPK activity and decreased phosphorylation of AMPK in NTS. PKA and MAPK signaling contribute to food intake and BW suppression by Ex-4, as inhibitors RpcAMP and U0126 (fourth i.c.v.), respectively, attenuated Ex-4's effects. Hindbrain GLP-1R activation inhibited feeding by reducing meal number, not meal size. This effect was attenuated with stimulation of AMPK activity by AICAR (fourth i.c.v.). The PKA, MAPK, and AMPK signaling responses by Ex-4 were present in immortalized GLP-1R-expressing neurons (GT1-7). In conclusion, hindbrain GLP-1R activation suppresses food intake and BW through coordinated PKA-mediated suppression of AMPK and activation of MAPK. Pharmacotherapies targeting these signaling pathways, which mediate intake-suppressive effects of CNS GLP-1R activation, may prove efficacious in treating obesity. 相似文献

Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-2 action in the murine central nervous system is enhanced by elimination of GLP-1 receptor signaling 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) regulates energy homeostasis via effects on nutrient absorption and maintenance of gut mucosal epithelial integrity. The biological actions of GLP-2 in the central nervous system (CNS) remain poorly understood. We studied the sites of endogenous GLP-2 receptor (GLP-2R) expression, the localization of transgenic LacZ expression under the control of the mouse GLP-2R promoter, and the actions of GLP-2 in the murine CNS. GLP-2R expression was detected in multiple extrahypothalamic regions of the mouse and rat CNS, including cell groups in the cerebellum, medulla, amygdala, hippocampus, dentate gyrus, pons, cerebral cortex, and pituitary. A 1.5-kilobase fragment of the mouse GLP-2R promoter directed LacZ expression to the gastrointestinal tract and CNS regions in the mouse that exhibited endogenous GLP-2R expression, including the cerebellum, amygdala, hippocampus, and dentate gyrus. Intracerebroventricular injection of GLP-2 significantly inhibited food intake during dark-phase feeding in wild-type mice. Disruption of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) signaling with the antagonist exendin-(9-39) in wild-type mice or genetically in GLP-1R(-)/- mice significantly potentiated the anorectic actions of GLP-2. These findings illustrate that CNS GLP-2R expression is not restricted to hypothalamic nuclei and demonstrate that the anorectic effects of GLP-2 are transient and modulated by the presence or absence of GLP-1R signaling in vivo. 相似文献

Glucagon-like peptide-1(7-36)-amide (GLP-1) is postulated to act as a hormonal signal from gut to brain to inhibit food intake and gastric emptying. A mixed-nutrient meal produces a 2 to 3-h increase in plasma GLP-1. We determined the effects of intravenous infusions of GLP-1 on food intake, sham feeding, and gastric emptying in rats to assess whether GLP-1 inhibits food intake, in part, by slowing gastric emptying. A 3-h intravenous infusion of GLP-1 (0.5-170 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1)) at dark onset dose-dependently inhibited food intake in rats that were normally fed with a potency (mean effective dose) and efficacy (maximal % inhibition) of 23 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1) and 82%, respectively. Similar total doses of GLP-1 administered over a 15-min period were less potent and effective. In gastric emptying experiments, GLP-1 (1.7-50 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1)) dose-dependently inhibited gastric emptying of saline and ingested chow with potencies of 18 and 6 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1) and maximal inhibitions of 74 and 83%, respectively. In sham-feeding experiments, GLP-1 (5-50 pmol.kg(-1).min(-1)) dose-dependently reduced 15% aqueous sucrose intake in a similar manner when gastric cannulas were closed (real feeding) and open (sham feeding). These results demonstrate that intravenous infusions of GLP-1 dose-dependently inhibit food intake, sham feeding, and gastric emptying with a similar potency and efficacy. Thus GLP-1 may inhibit food intake in part by reducing gastric emptying, yet can also inhibit food intake independently of its action to reduce gastric emptying. It remains to be determined whether intravenous doses of GLP-1 that reproduce postprandial increases in plasma GLP-1 are sufficient to inhibit food intake and gastric emptying. 相似文献

Glucagon-like peptide 1-(7-36) amide (GLP-1) potently inhibits rat feeding behavior after central administration. Because third ventricular injection of GLP-1 appeared to be less effective than lateral ventricular injection, we have reexamined this issue. In addition, we attempted to identify brain regions other than the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus that are sensitive toward GLP-1-induced feeding suppression. Finally, we examined the local role of endogenous GLP-1 by specific GLP-1 receptor blockade. After lateral ventricular injection, GLP-1 significantly inhibited food intake of 24-h-fasted rats in a dose-dependent fashion with a minimal effective dose of 1 microg. After third ventricular injection, GLP-1 (1 microg) was similarly effective in suppressing food intake, which extends previous findings. Intracerebral microinjections of GLP-1 significantly suppressed food intake in the lateral (LH), dorsomedial (DMH), and ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), but not in the medial nucleus of the amygdala. The minimal effective dose of GLP-1 was 0.3 microg at LH sites and 1 microg at DMH or VMH sites. LH microinjections of exendin-(9-39) amide, a GLP-1 receptor antagonist, at 1 or 2.5 microg did not alter feeding behavior in 24-h-fasted rats. In satiated animals, however, a single LH injection of 1 microg exendin-(9-39) amide significantly augmented food intake, but only during the first 20 min (0.6 vs. 0.1 g). With three repeated injections of 2.5 microg exendin-(9-39) amide every 20 min, 1-h food intake was significantly increased by 300%. These data strongly support and extend the concept of GLP-1 as a physiological regulator of food intake in the hypothalamus. 相似文献

Obesity is caused by an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure and has become a major health-care problem in western society. The central melanocortin system plays a crucial role in the regulation of feeding and energy expenditure, and functional loss of melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) is the most common genetic cause of human obesity. In this study, we present the first functional Mc4r knockout model in the rat, resulting from an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis-induced point mutation. In vitro observations revealed impaired membrane-binding and subsequent nonfunctionality of the receptor, whereas in vivo observations showed that functional loss of MC4R increased body weight, food intake, white adipose mass, and changed substrate preference. In addition, intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of Agouti-Related Protein(79-129) (AgRP(79-129)), an MC4R inverse agonist, or Melanotan-II (MTII), an MC4R agonist, did affect feeding behavior in wild-type rats but not in homozygous mutant rats, confirming complete loss of MC4R function in vivo. Finally, ICV administration of MTII induced excessive grooming behavior in wild-type rats, whereas this effect was absent in homozygous mutant rats, indicating that MTII-induced grooming behavior is exclusively regulated via MC4R pathways. Taken together, we expect that the MC4R rat model described here will be a valuable tool for studying monogenic obesity in humans. More specifically, the relative big size and increased cognitive capacity of rats as compared to mice will facilitate complex behavioral studies and detailed mechanistic studies regarding central function of MC4R, both of which ultimately may help to further understand the specific mechanisms that induce obesity during loss of MC4R function. 相似文献

The long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, liraglutide, inhibits beta-cell apoptosis in vitro
Bregenholt S Møldrup A Blume N Karlsen AE Nissen Friedrichsen B Tornhave D Knudsen LB Petersen JS 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2005,330(2):577-584
We here show that GLP-1 and the long-acting GLP-1 analogue, liraglutide, interfere with diabetes-associated apoptotic processes in the β-cell. Studies using primary neonatal rat islets showed that native GLP-1 and liraglutide inhibited both cytokine- and free fatty acid-induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The anti-apoptotic effect of liraglutide was mediated by the GLP-1 receptor as the specific GLP-1 receptor antagonist, exendin(9-39), blocked the effects. The adenylate cyclase activator, forskolin, had an anti-apoptotic effect similar to those of GLP-1 and liraglutide indicating that the effect was cAMP-mediated. Blocking the PI3 kinase pathway using wortmannin but not the MAP kinase pathways by PD98059 inhibited the effects of liraglutide. In conclusion, GLP-1 receptor activation has anti-apoptotic effect on both cytokine, and free fatty acid-induced apoptosis in primary islet-cells, thus suggesting that the long-acting GLP-1 analogue, liraglutide, may be useful for retaining β-cell mass in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. 相似文献

Ghrelin stimulates food intake in part by activating hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons/agouti related peptide (AGRP) neurons. We investigated the role of AGRP/melanocortin signaling in ghrelin-induced food intake by studying melanocortin 3 and 4 receptor knockout (MC3R KO and MC4R KO) mice. We also determined whether reduced ghrelin levels and/or an altered sensitivity to the GH-stimulating effects of ghrelin accompany the obesity syndromes of MC3R KO and MC4R KO mice. Compared to wild-type (WT) mice, the effects of ghrelin on food intake were reduced in MC3R KO and MC4R KO mice and circulating ghrelin levels were reduced in female MC4R KO mice. Female MC3R KO and MC4R KO mice exhibited a diminished responsiveness to the GH-releasing effects of ghrelin. Thus, deletion of the MC3R or MC4R results in a decreased sensitivity to ghrelin and verifies the involvement in the melanocortin system in ghrelin-induced food intake. 相似文献
