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

The gastrin/cholecystokinin (CCK) family is recognized as the principal family of hormones involved in regulation of the gastrointestinal tract CCK is recognized as a satiety hormone in mammalian species, but it has been suggested that gastrin rather CCK may have an important role in controlling feeding behavior in the neonatal chick through a poorly developed blood brain barrier. So far, however, there is no direct evidence that central gastrin inhibits food intake in neonatal chicks. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether central administration of gastrin 1) inhibits feeding behavior and 2) alters food passage from the crop. The effects of central administration of gastrin on food intake were investigated in experiment 1. Birds (2-day-old) were food-deprived for 3 h and then gastrin or saline was injected intracerebroventricularly. Gastrin strongly inhibited food intake in a dose-dependent fashion for 2 h. Thereafter, the effects of central gastrin on feeding behavior and serum corticosterone concentration were examined in experiment 2. Following central administration of gastrin, food intake was depressed and pecking behavior was inhibited. Serum corticosterone concentration was not altered by central administration of gastrin. The influence of central gastrin on food passage from the crop was investigated in experiment 3. Central administration of gastrin clearly delayed food passage. In conclusion, central gastrin appears to have a strong effect for the satiety and gastrointestinal motility in the neonatal chick. 相似文献

Xenin is a 25‐amino acid peptide highly homologous to neurotensin. Xenin and neurotensin are reported to have similar biological effects. Both reduce food intake when administered centrally to fasted rats. We aimed to clarify and compare the effects of these peptides on food intake and behavior. We confirm that intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of xenin or neurotensin reduces food intake in fasted rats, and demonstrate that both reduce food intake in satiated rats during the dark phase. Xenin reduced food intake more potently than neurotensin following ICV administration. ICV injection of either peptide in the dark phase increased resting behavior. Xenin and neurotensin stimulated the release of corticotrophin‐releasing hormone (CRH) from ex vivo hypothalamic explants, and administration of α‐helical CRH attenuated their effects on food intake. Intraperitoneal (IP) administration of xenin or neurotensin acutely reduced food intake in fasted mice and ad libitum fed mice in the dark phase. However, chronic continuous or twice daily peripheral administration of xenin or neurotensin to mice had no significant effect on daily food intake or body weight. These studies confirm that ICV xenin or neurotensin can acutely reduce food intake and demonstrate that peripheral administration of xenin and neurotensin also reduces food intake. This may be partly mediated by changes in hypothalamic CRH release. The lack of chronic effects on body weight observed in our experiments suggests that xenin and neurotensin are unlikely to be useful as obesity therapies. 相似文献

In mammals, a number of hypothalamic neuropeptides have been implicated in stress-induced feeding disorders. Recent studies in anurans suggest that stress-related neuropeptides may act on elemental aspects of visuomotor control to regulate feeding. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, potent an orexic peptides in mammals, inhibit visually-guided prey-catching in toads. Neuropeptide Y (NPY), an orexic peptide in mammals, may be an important neuromodulator in inhibitory pre-tectal-tectal pathways involved in distinguishing predator and prey. Melanocortin, NPY and CRH neurons project onto key visuomotor structures within the amphibian brain, suggesting physiological roles in the modulation of prey-catching. Thus, neuropeptides involved in feeding behavior in mammals influence the efficacy of a visual stimulus in releasing prey-catching behavior. These neuropeptides may play an important role in how frogs and toads gather and process visual information, particularly during stress. 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

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

Although environmental, social and physical stressors have been shown to inhibit food intake and feeding behavior in fish, little is known about the mechanisms that mediate the appetite-suppressing effects of stress. Since the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis is activated in response to most forms of stress in fish, components of this axis may be involved in mediating the food intake reductions elicited by stress. Recent investigations into the brain regulation of food intake in fish have identified several signals with orexigenic and anorexigenic properties. Among these appetite-regulating signals are related neuropeptides that can activate the HPI axis, namely corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and urotensin I (UI). Central injections of CRF or UI, or treatments that result in an increase in hypothalamic CRF and UI gene expression, can elicit dose-dependent decreases in food intake that can be reversed by pre-treatment with a CRF-receptor antagonist. Evidence also suggests that cortisol, the end product of HPI activation in most fishes (i.e. Osteichthyes), may be involved in the regulation of food intake. Overall, while elements of the HPI axis may mediate some of the appetite-suppressing effects of stress, it is undetermined how either CRF-related peptides, cortisol, or other elements of the stress response interact with the complex circuitry of the hypothalamic feeding center. 相似文献

Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone mediates melanin-concentrating hormone-induced anorexigenic action in goldfish 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In goldfish, intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) inhibits feeding behavior, and fasting decreases hypothalamic MCH-like immunoreactivity. However, while MCH acts as an anorexigenic factor in goldfish, in rodents MCH has an orexigenic effect. Therefore, we examined the involvement of two anorexigenic neuropeptides, alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), in the anorexigenic action of MCH in goldfish, using an alpha-MSH receptor antagonist, HS024, and a CRH receptor antagonist, alpha-helical CRH((9-41)). ICV injection of HS024, but not alpha-helical CRH((9-41)), suppressed MCH-induced anorexigenic action for a 60-min observation period. We then examined, using a real-time PCR method, whether MCH affects the levels of mRNAs encoding various orexigenic neuropeptides, including neuropeptide Y (NPY), orexin, ghrelin and Agouti-related peptide (AgRP), in the goldfish diencephalon. ICV administration of MCH at a dose sufficient to inhibit food consumption decreased the expression of mRNAs for NPY and ghrelin, but not for orexin and AgRP. These results indicate that the anorexigenic action of MCH in the goldfish brain is mediated by the alpha-MSH signaling pathway and is accompanied by inhibition of NPY and ghrelin synthesis. 相似文献

The neuropeptides orexin A (OXA), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and galanin (GAL) have been shown to play a role in the regulation of food intake in mammals. They also significantly stimulate feeding in goldfish. In order to assess the interactions between these peptides in the control of feeding in goldfish, we investigated the effects of central injection of specific receptor antagonists for NPY (BIBP 3226) and GAL (M40) on OXA-induced feeding and the effects of desensitization of orexin receptors on NPY- and GAL-induced feeding. We investigated the effects of BIBP 3226 on GAL-induced feeding and the effects of M40 on NPY-induced feeding. We also examined the effects of coinjection of each pair of neuropeptides on feeding behavior. Injections of 10 ng/g OXA, 5 ng/g NPY and 10 ng/g GAL each induced an increase in feeding. Fish treated with 5 ng/g BIBP or 20 ng/g M40 had food consumption similar to saline controls. BIBP at 5 ng/g significantly reduced NPY- and OXA-induced feeding. Injections of 20 ng/g M40 significantly decreased GAL-induced feeding, but had no effect on OXA-induced feeding. Blocking of orexin receptors by treatment with high doses of OXA (100 ng/g) resulted in a decrease in both NPY- and GAL-induced feeding. Coinjection with 0.5 ng/g OXA and either 0.5 ng/g NPY or 0.5 ng/g GAL resulted in a food intake higher than that observed in saline control fish and in fish treated with NPY or GAL alone at 0.5 ng/g. NPY mRNA expression was increased in the telencephalon and in the hypothalamus compared to saline-treated fish, following injection of OXA. These results indicate that both NPY and GAL are at least, in part, dependent on coaction with OXA for the stimulation of food intake and feeding behavior in goldfish. In addition, the effects of OXA are mediated, in part, by the NPY pathway. This suggests a functional interdependence between these three peptidergic systems in the control of energy balance in goldfish. 相似文献

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is a potent regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and reduces food intake when administered into the third cerebral ventricle (i3vt). However, CRH also promotes conditioned taste aversion (CTA) learning which indicates that its anorectic effects are accompanied by aversive consequences that would reduce food intake independently of energy regulation. Urocortin (Ucn) is a closely related mammalian peptide that binds to both identified CRH receptor subtypes and also reduces food intake when administered i3vt. The present experiments compared the aversive consequences of i3vt administration of CRH and Ucn at doses that produced comparable decrements in food intake. Experiment 1 found that 1.0 microg Ucn and 2.0 microg CRH produced similar reductions in food intake. Experiment 2 demonstrated that, at these doses, CRH but not Ucn promoted robust and reliable CTA learning. A third experiment showed comparable increased c-Fos-like immunoreactivity after Ucn and CRH in forebrain and hindbrain structures associated with food intake. It is concluded that Ucn, at doses that reduce food intake to levels like that observed after administration of CRH, do not produce similarly aversive consequences. 相似文献

Over the past several years, new modulators of feeding and body weight have been discovered, and our knowledge of the mechanisms and neurohumoral interactions between anorexigenic and orexigenic compounds has increased dramatically. This review aims to summarize the present knowledge of the role of leptin and several hypothalamic neuropeptides, such as neuropeptide Y (NPY), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and melanocortins, in the regulation of appetite and body weight. It also presents the progress made in the design of interactions between leptin and hypothalamic peptides in the regulation of feeding. The role of these compounds in the pathogenesis of obesity in animals and humans, and their potential usefulness in the treatment of this disorder, are discussed. 相似文献

Menopause is one of the triggers that induce obesity. Estradiol (E2), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), and hypothalamic neuronal histamine are anorexigenic substances within the hypothalamus. This study examined the interactions among E2, CRH, and histamine during the regulation of feeding behavior and obesity in rodents. Food intake was measured in rats after the treatment of E2, α-fluoromethyl histidine, a specific suicide inhibitor of histidine decarboxylase that depletes hypothalamic neuronal histamine, or CRH antagonist. We measured food intake and body weight in wild-type mice or mice with targeted disruption of the histamine receptors (H1-R) knockout (H1KO mice). Furthermore, we investigated CRH content and histamine turnover in the hypothalamus after the E2 treatment or ovariectomy (OVX). We used immunohistochemical staining for estrogen receptors (ERs) in the histamine neurons. The E2-induced suppression of feeding was partially attenuated in rats pre-treated with α-fluoromethyl histidine or CRH antagonist and in H1KO mice. E2 treatment increased CRH content and histamine turnover in the hypothalamus. OVX increased food intake and body weight, and decreased CRH content and histamine turnover in the hypothalamus. In addition, E2 replacement reversed the OVX-induced changes in food intake and body weight in wild-type mice but not in H1KO mice. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed ERs were expressed on histamine neurons and western blotting analysis and pre-absorption study confirmed the specificity of ER antiserum we used. These results indicate that CRH and hypothalamic neuronal histamine mediate the suppressive effects of E2 on feeding behavior and body weight. 相似文献

Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) is a 41-residue hypothalamic neuropeptide that has been shown to have potent behavioral effects in animals and has been implicated in clinical disorders in man. This review focuses on those aspects of the behavioral effects of CRH related to food-associated behaviors. The effects of CRH on food intake are compared with its effects on performances maintained by food presentation, and contrasted with the effects of CRH on performances maintained by other events. The effects of CRH antagonists and drugs that interact with the behavioral effects of CRH are also reviewed, particularly with respect to their direct effects on food intake. Lastly, data assessing the effects of CRH administration on central neurotransmitter levels are presented and compared with levels seen in clinical populations. The effect of CRH on food intake seen in animals is consistent with a putative role for CRH in clinical syndromes where appetite suppression is apparent. Since some of the effects of CRH on food intake are subject to pharmacological intervention, strategies directed at peptidergic mechanisms of psychiatric disorders should be explored. 相似文献

The cellular level of malonyl-CoA, an intermediate in fatty acid biosynthesis, depends on its rate of synthesis catalyzed by acetyl-CoA carboxylase relative to its rate of utilization and degradation catalyzed by fatty acid synthase and malonyl-CoA decarboxylase, respectively. Recent evidence suggests that hypothalamic malonyl-CoA functions in the regulation of feeding behavior by altering the expression of key orexigenic and anorexigenic neuropeptides. Here we report that 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR), a 5'-AMP kinase activator, rapidly lowers malonyl-CoA both in GT1-7 hypothalamic neurons and in the hypothalami of mice. These effects correlate closely with the phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, an established target of AMP kinase. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of AICAR rapidly lowers hypothalamic [malonyl-CoA] and increases food intake. Expression of an adenoviral cytosolic malonyl-CoA decarboxylase vector (Ad-cMCD) in hypothalamic GT1-7 cells decreases malonyl-CoA. When delivered by bilateral stereotaxic injection into the ventral hypothalamus (encompassing the arcuate nucleus) of mice, Ad-cMCD increases food intake and body weight. Ad-MCD delivered into the ventral hypothalamus also reverses the rapid suppression of food intake caused by i.c.v.-administered C75, a fatty acid synthase inhibitor that increases hypothalamic [malonyl-CoA]. Taken together these findings implicate malonyl-CoA in the hypothalamic regulation of feeding behavior. 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
