alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) both suppress food intake, and the alpha-MSH- or CRH-signaling pathway has possible potency to mediate anorexigenic actions induced by most other neuropeptides in goldfish. Therefore, using specific receptor antagonists, we examined whether the anorexigenic actions of alpha-MSH and CRH mutually interact. The inhibitory effect of ICV injection of the alpha-MSH agonist, melanotan II (MT II), on food intake was abolished by treatment with a CRH 1/2 receptor antagonist, alpha-helical CRH((9-41)), whereas the anorexigenic action of ICV-injected CRH was not affected by treatment with a melanocortin 4 receptor antagonist, HS024. This led us to investigate whether alpha-MSH-containing neurons in the goldfish brain have direct inputs to CRH-containing neurons, using confocal laser scanning microscopy. alpha-MSH- and CRH-like immunoreactivities were distributed throughout the brain, especially in the diencephalon. alpha-MSH-containing nerve fibers or endings lay in close apposition to CRH-containing neurons in a region of the hypothalamus, the nucleus posterioris periventricularis (NPPv). These results indicate that, in goldfish, alpha-MSH-induced anorexigenic action is mediated by the CRH-signaling pathway, and that CRH plays a crucial role in the regulation of feeding behavior as an integrated anorexigenic neuropeptide in this species. 相似文献

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) inhibits food intake in goldfish, unlike in rodents, suggesting that its anorexigenic action is mediated by alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) but not corticotropin-releasing hormone. This led us to investigate whether MCH-containing neurons in the goldfish brain have direct inputs to alpha-MSH-containing neurons, using a confocal laser scanning microscope, and to examine whether the anorexigenic action of MCH is also mediated by other anorexigenic neuropeptides, such as cholecystokinin (CCK) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), using their receptor antagonists. MCH- and alpha-MSH-like immunoreactivities were distributed throughout the brain, especially in the diencephalon. MCH-containing nerve fibers or endings lay in close apposition to alpha-MSH-containing neurons in the hypothalamus in the posterior part of the nucleus lateralis tuberis (NLTp). The inhibitory effect of ICV-injected MCH on food intake was not affected by treatment with a CCK A/CCK B receptor antagonist, proglumide, or a PACAP receptor (PAC(1) receptor) antagonist, PACAP((6-38)). ICV administration of MCH at a dose sufficient to inhibit food consumption also did not influence expression of the mRNAs encoding CCK and PACAP. These results strongly suggest that MCH-containing neurons provide direct input to alpha-MSH-containing neurons in the NLTp of goldfish, and that MCH plays a crucial role in the regulation of feeding behavior as an anorexigenic neuropeptide via the alpha-MSH (melanocortin 4 receptor)-signaling pathway. 相似文献

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of ghrelin, orexin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) stimulates food intake in goldfish. Orexin and NPY interact with each other in the regulation of feeding, while ghrelin-induced feeding has also shown to be mediated by NPY in the goldfish model. To investigate the interaction between ghrelin and orexin, we examined the effects of a selective orexin receptor-1 antagonist, SB334867, and a growth hormone secretagogue-receptor antagonist, [D-Lys(3)]-GHRP-6, on ghrelin- and orexin-A-induced feeding. Ghrelin-induced food intake was completely inhibited for 1h following ICV preinjection of SB334867, while [D-Lys(3)]-GHRP-6 attenuated orexin-A stimulated feeding. Furthermore, ICV administration of ghrelin or orexin-A at a dose sufficient to stimulate food intake increased the expression of each other's mRNA in the diencephalon. These results indicate that, in goldfish, ghrelin and orexin-A have interacting orexigenic effects in the central nervous system. This is the first report that orexin-A-induced feeding is mediated by the ghrelin signaling in any animal model. 相似文献

Energy homeostasis is controlled by a complex neuroendocrine system consisting of peripheral signals like leptin and central signals, in particular, neuropeptides. Several neuropeptides with anorexigenic (POMC, CART, and CRH) as well as orexigenic (NPY, AgRP, and MCH) actions are involved in this complex (partly redundant) controlling system. Starvation as well as overfeeding lead to changes in expression levels of these neuropeptides, which act downstream of leptin, resulting in a physiological response. In this review the role of several anorexigenic and orexigenic (hypothalamic) neuropeptides on food intake and body weight regulation is summarized. 相似文献

Our recent research has indicated that intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) suppresses food intake and locomotor activity in the goldfish. However, the anorexigenic mechanism of PACAP has not yet been clarified. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the anorexigenic action of PACAP and that of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which is implicated in the regulation of energy homeostasis as a powerful anorexigenic peptide in the goldfish brain. We first examined feeding-induced changes in the expression of CRH mRNA, and the effect of ICV administration of PACAP on the expression of CRH mRNA in the goldfish brain. Semiquantitative analysis revealed that the expression of CRH mRNA was significantly increased by excessive feeding for 7 days. ICV administration of PACAP at a dose sufficient to suppress food intake induced a significant increase in the expression of CRH mRNA. We also examined the effect of alpha-helical CRH(9-41), a CRH antagonist, on the anorexigenic action of PACAP in the goldfish. The inhibitory effect of PACAP was completely suppressed by treatment with alpha-helical CRH(9-41). We finally investigated the effect of ICV-administered CRH on locomotor activity in the goldfish. CRH at a dose sufficient to suppress food intake induced a significant increase in locomotor activity, unlike ICV-injected PACAP. These results suggest that, in the goldfish, the anorexigenic action of PACAP is related to the CRH neuronal pathway, but that the modulation of locomotor activity by PACAP is independent of modulation by CRH. 相似文献

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) inhibits food intake in goldfish, unlike the orexigenic action in rodents, via the melanocortin system with suppression of neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA expression. We therefore investigated the neuronal relationship between MCH- and NPY-containing neurons in the goldfish brain, using a double-immunofluorescence method and confocal laser scanning microscopy. MCH- and NPY-like immunoreactivities were distributed throughout the brain. In particular, MCH-containing nerve fibers or endings lay in close apposition to NPY-containing neurons in a specific region of the hypothalamus, the nucleus posterioris periventricularis (NPPv). These observations suggest that MCH-containing neurons provide direct input to NPY-containing neurons in the NPPv of goldfish, and that MCH plays a crucial role in the regulation of feeding behavior as an anorexigenic neuropeptide, inhibiting the orexigenic activity of NPY. 相似文献

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone II (GnRH II), which plays a crucial role in the regulation of reproduction in vertebrates, markedly reduces food intake in goldfish. However, the neurochemical pathways involved in the anorexigenic action of GnRH II and its interaction with other neuropeptides have not yet been identified. Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and CRH-related peptides play a major role in feeding control as potent anorexigenic neuropeptides in goldfish. However, our previous study has indicated that the GnRH II-induced anorexigenic action is not blocked by treatment with melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) and CRH receptor antagonists. Therefore, in the present study, we further examined whether the anorexigenic effects of α-MSH and CRH in goldfish could be mediated through the GnRH receptor neuronal pathway. ICV injection of the MC4R agonist, melanotan II (80 pmol/g body weight; BW), significantly reduced food intake, and its anorexigenic effect was suppressed by ICV pre-administration of the GnRH type I receptor antagonist, antide (100 pmol/g BW). The CRH-induced (50 pmol/g BW) anorexigenic action was also blocked by treatment with antide. ICV injection of CRH (50 pmol/g BW) induced a significant increase of the GnRH II mRNA level in the hypothalamus, while ICV injection of melanotan II (80 pmol/g BW) had no effect on the level of GnRH II mRNA. These results indicate that, in goldfish, the anorexigenic actions of α-MSH and CRH are mediated through the GnRH type I receptor-signaling pathway, and that the GnRH II system regulates feeding behavior. 相似文献

We investigated whether ghrelin depletion (by gastrectomy surgery) and/or treatment/replacement with the gastric hormone ghrelin alters the expression of key hypothalamic genes involved in energy balance, in a manner consistent with ghrelin's pro-obesity effects. At 2 weeks after surgery mice were treated with ghrelin (12 nmol/mouse/day, sc) or vehicle for 8 weeks. Gastrectomy had little effect on the expression of these genes, with the exception of NPY mRNA in the arcuate nucleus that was increased. Ghrelin treatment (to gastrectomized and sham mice) increased the mRNA expression of orexigenic peptides NPY and AgRP while decreasing mRNA expression of the anorexigenic peptide POMC. Two weeks gavage treatment with the ghrelin mimetic, MK-0677, to rats increased NPY and POMC mRNA in the arcuate nucleus and MCH mRNA in the lateral hypothalamus. Thus, while predicted pro-obesity ghrelin signalling pathways were activated by ghrelin and ghrelin mimetics, these were largely unaffected by gastrectomy. 相似文献

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is an evolutionarily conserved neuropeptide with 10 amino acid residues, which possesses some structural variants. A molecular form known as chicken GnRH II ([His5 Trp7 Tyr8] GnRH, cGnRH II) is widely distributed in vertebrates, and has recently been implicated in the regulation of sexual behavior and food intake in an insectivore, the musk shrew. However, the influence of cGnRH II on feeding behavior has not yet been studied in model animals such as rodents and teleost fish. In this study, therefore, we investigated the role of cGnRH II in the regulation of feeding behavior in the goldfish, and examined its involvement in food intake after intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration. ICV-injected cGnRH II at graded doses, from 0.1 to 10 pmol/g body weight (BW), induced a decrease of food consumption in a dose-dependent manner during 60 min after treatment. Cumulative food intake was significantly decreased by ICV injection of cGnRH II at doses of 1 and 10 pmol/g BW during the 60-min post-treatment observation period. ICV injection of salmon GnRH ([Trp7 Leu8] GnRH, sGnRH) at doses of 0.1-10 pmol/g BW did not affect food intake. The anorexigenic action of cGnRH II was completely blocked by treatment with the GnRH type I receptor antagonist, Antide. However, the anorexigenic action of cGnRH II was not inhibited by treatment with the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) 1/2 receptor antagonist, α-helical CRH(9−41), and the melanocortin 4 receptor antagonist, HS024. These results suggest that, in the goldfish, cGnRH II, but not sGnRH, acts as an anorexigenic factor, as is the case in the musk shrew, and that the anorexigenic action of cGnRH II is independent of CRH- and melanocortin-signaling pathways. 相似文献

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) influences feeding behavior in the goldfish
and exerts an anorexigenic action in goldfish brain, unlike its orexigenic action in mammals. Despite a growing body of knowledge
concerning MCH function in mammals, the role of MCH in appetite has not yet been well studied in fish. The aim of the present
study was to investigate the involvement of endogenous MCH in the feeding behavior of the goldfish. We examined the distribution
of MCH-like immunoreactivity (MCH-LI) in the goldfish brain and the effect of feeding status upon this distribution. Neuronal
cell bodies containing MCH-LI were localized specifically to four areas of the hypothalamus. Nerve fibers with MCH-LI were
found mainly in the neurohypophysis, with a few in the telencephalon, mesencephalon, and diencephalon. The number of neuronal
cell bodies containing MCH-LI in the dorsal area adjoining the lateral recess of the third ventricle in the posterior and
inferior lobes of the hypothalamus showed a significant decrease in fasted fish compared with that in normally fed fish, although
other areas showed no evident differences. We also administered an antiserum against fish MCH (anti-MCH serum) by ICV injection
and examined its immunoneutralizing effect on food intake by using an automatic monitoring system. Cumulative food intake
was significantly increased by ICV injection of the anti-MCH serum. These results indicate that MCH potentially functions
as an anorexigenic neuropeptide in the goldfish brain, and that the further study of the evolutionary background of the MCH
system and its role in appetite is warranted.

Nitric oxide (NO) is known as an orexigenic factor in the brain of mammals and mediates the feeding-stimulatory effect of other factors such as neuropeptide Y (NPY). In neonatal chicks, however, we recently reported that NO might have an anorexigenic effect and suggested that the feeding-regulatory mechanism in chicks might be different from that in mammals regarding NO. In the present study, we investigated the involvement of NO in the effect of other orexigenic and anorexigenic factors in neonatal chicks. Intracerebroventricular co-injection of N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), a NO synthase inhibitor, did not affect NPY- and prolactin-releasing peptide-induced feeding behavior. On the other hand, the co-injection of l-NAME significantly attenuated the anorexigenic effect of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). The anorexigenic effects of glucagon-like peptide-1, alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and ghrelin were not affected by the l-NAME treatment. These results suggest that NO might mediate the anorexigenic effect of CRH in the brain of neonatal chicks. 相似文献

Appetite control is a major issue in normal growth and in suboptimal growth performance settings. A number of hormones, in particular leptin, activate or inhibit orexigenic or anorexigenic neurotransmitters within the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, where feed intake regulation is integrated. Examples of appetite regulatory neurotransmitters are the stimulatory neurotransmitters neuropeptide Y (NPY), agouti-related protein (AgRP), orexin and melanin-concentrating hormone and the inhibitory neurotransmitter, melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). Examination of messenger RNA (using in situ hybridization and real-time PCR) and proteins (using immunohistochemistry) for these neurotransmitters in ruminants has indicated that physiological regulation occurs in response to fasting for several of these critical genes and proteins, especially AgRP and NPY. Moreover, intracerebroventricular injection of each of the four stimulatory neurotransmitters can increase feed intake in sheep and may also regulate either growth hormone, luteinizing hormone, cortisol or other hormones. In contrast, both leptin and MSH are inhibitory to feed intake in ruminants. Interestingly, the natural melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) antagonist, AgRP, as well as NPY can prevent the inhibition of feed intake after injection of endotoxin (to model disease suppression of appetite). Thus, knowledge of the mechanisms regulating feed intake in the hypothalamus may lead to mechanisms to increase feed intake in normal growing animals and prevent the wasting effects of severe disease in animals. 相似文献

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) are orexigenic peptides found in hypothalamic neurons that project throughout the forebrain and hindbrain. The effects of fourth ventricle (4V) infusions of NPY (5 microg) and MCH (5 microg) on licking for water, 4 mM saccharin, and sucrose (0.1 and 1.0 M) solutions were compared to identify the contributions of each peptide to hindbrain-stimulated feeding. NPY increased mean meal size only for the sucrose solutions, suggesting that caloric feedback or taste quality is pertinent to the orexigenic effect; MCH infusions under identical testing conditions failed to produce increases for any tastant. A second experiment also observed no intake or licking effects after MCH doses up to 15 microg, supporting the conclusion that MCH-induced orexigenic responses require forebrain stimulation. A third experiment compared the 4V NPY results with those obtained after NPY infusions (5 microg) into the third ventricle (3V). In contrast to the effects observed after the 3V NPY injections and previously reported forebrain intracerebroventricular (ICV) NPY infusion studies, 4V NPY failed to increase meal frequency for any taste solution or ingestion rate in the early phases of the sucrose meals. Overall, 4V NPY responses were limited to intrameal behavioral processes, whereas forebrain ICV NPY stimulation elicited both consummatory and appetitive responses. The dissociation between MCH and NPY effects observed for 4V injections is consistent with reports that forebrain ICV injections of MCH and NPY produced nearly dichotomous effects on the pattern of licking microstructure, and, collectively, the results indicate that the two peptides have separate sites of feeding action in the brain. 相似文献

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), originally discovered in the teleost pituitary, is a hypothalamic neuropeptide involved in the regulation of body color in fish. Although MCH is also present in the mammalian brain, it has no evident function in providing pigmentation. Instead, this peptide is now recognized to be one of the key neuropeptides that act as appetite enhancers in mammals such as rodents and primates. Although there has been little information about the central action of MCH on appetite in fish, recent studies have indicated that, in goldfish, MCH acts as an anorexigenic neuropeptide, modulating the α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone signaling pathway through neuronal interaction. These observations indicate that there may be major differences in the mode of action of MCH between fish and mammals. This paper reviews what is currently known about the regulation of food intake by MCH in fish, especially the goldfish. 相似文献

Links between energy homeostasis and reproduction have been demonstrated in vertebrates. As a general rule, abundant food resources favor reproduction whereas low food availability induces an inhibition of reproductive processes. In both mammals and fish, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and orexin (OX) are hypothalamic neuropeptides that play critical roles in the regulation of sexual behavior and appetite, respectively. In order to assess possible interactions between orexin and GnRH in the control of feeding and reproduction in goldfish, we examined the effects of chicken GnRH (cGnRH-II) intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection on feeding behavior and OX brain mRNA expression as well as the effects of orexin ICV injections on spawning behavior and cGnRH-II brain mRNA expression. Treatment with cGnRH-II at doses that stimulate spawning (0.5 ng/g or 1 ng/g) resulted in a decrease in both food intake and hypothalamic orexin mRNA expression. Treatment with orexin A at doses that stimulate feeding (10 ng/g) induced an inhibition of spawning behavior and a decrease in cGnRH-II expression in the hypothalamus and optic tectum-thalamus. Our results suggest that the anorexigenic actions of cGnRH-II in goldfish might be in part mediated by OX and that orexin inhibits reproductive behavior in part via the inhibition of the GnRH system. Our data suggest the existence of a coordinated control of feeding and reproduction by the orexin and GnRH systems in goldfish. 相似文献

Ghrelin interactions with glycemia in appetite control as well as the potential mechanisms involving the orexin and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons in the orexigenic ghrelin signals were investigated by using a specific anti-ghrelin antibody (AGA). Our results confirm that peripheral ghrelin is an important signal in meal initiation and appetite. Employing immunohistochemistry techniques, we found that c-fos positive neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH) and perifornical area (PFA) increased after insulin or 2-deoxyglucose administration. Moreover, we have also demonstrated that peripheral ghrelin blockade by the AGA, reduces the orexigenic signal induced by insulin and 2-DG administration probably partly producing a decrease of c-fos immunoreactivity in the LH and PFA as well as a lower activation of orexin neurons. In contrast, the c-fos positive MCH neurons were not apparently affected. In summary, our findings suggest that peripheral ghrelin plays an important role in regulatory "glucostatic" feeding mechanisms by means of its role as a "hunger" signal affecting the LH and PFA areas, which may contribute to energy homeostasis through orexin neurons. 相似文献

Numerous works associate the MCH peptide, and the hypothalamic neurons that produce it, to the feeding behavior and energy homeostasis. It is commonly admitted that MCH is an orexigenic peptide, and MCH neurons could be under the control of arcuate NPY and POMC neurons. However, the literature data is not always concordant. In particular questions about the intrahypothalamic circuit involving other neuropeptides and about the mechanisms through which MCH could act are not yet clearly answered. For example, which receptors mediate a MCH response to NPY or alpha-MSH, does MCH act alone, is there any local anatomical organization within the tuberal LHA? A review of the current literature is then needed to help focus attention on these unresolved and often neglected issues. 相似文献

The central nervous system (CNS) controls food intake and energy expenditure via tight coordinations between multiple neuronal populations. Specifically, two distinct neuronal populations exist in the arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus (ARH): the anorexigenic (appetite-suppressing) pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons and the orexigenic (appetite-increasing) neuropeptide Y (NPY)/agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons. The coordinated regulation of neuronal circuit involving these neurons is essential in properly maintaining energy balance, and any disturbance therein may result in hyperphagia/obesity or hypophagia/starvation. Thus, adequate knowledge of the POMC and NPY/AgRP neuron physiology is mandatory to understand the pathophysiology of obesity and related metabolic diseases. This review will discuss the history and recent updates on the POMC and NPY/AgRP neuronal circuits, as well as the general anorexigenic and orexigenic circuits in the CNS.
