CCK-A receptors and neurons of the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) are involved in the regulation of food intake, and in rats, there is evidence for involvement of an intestinal vagal afferent pathway. Studies investigating the role of CCK-A receptors in activation of NTS neurons using highly selective CCK-A receptor agonists and antagonists have yielded conflicting data. In the present study, we investigated CCK-induced and postprandial activation of NTS neurons, together with food intake studies, in CCK-A receptor-deficient Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rats. Activated NTS neurons were detected using immunohistological staining for c-Fos protein. Exogenous CCK increased the number of c-Fos protein-positive cells in the NTS of Sprague-Dawley and CCK-A receptor-intact Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats but had no effect in CCK-A receptor-deficient OLETF rats. Food intake-induced c-Fos protein expression in NTS neurons was significantly reduced in CCK-A receptor-deficient OLETF rats compared with Sprague-Dawley or LETO rats. Postprandial c-Fos protein expression in the NTS was also significantly decreased after pretreatment with the CCK-A receptor antagonist MK329 after both short- and long-term fasting periods. Exogenous CCK decreased cumulative food intake in Sprague-Dawley and LETO rats but not in OLETF rats. These data demonstrate that CCK-A receptors are involved in the CCK- and food-induced c-Fos protein expression in the NTS. Taken together with the results of the food intake studies, this suggests that activation of CCK-A receptors is involved in the postprandial activation of NTS neurons and in the regulation of food intake. 相似文献

Prior data demonstrated differential roles for cholecystokinin (CCK)1 receptors in maintaining energy balance in rats and mice. CCK1 receptor deficiency results in hyperphagia and obesity of Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats but not in mice. To ascertain the role of CCK1 receptors in high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced obesity, we compared alterations in food intake, body weight, fat mass, plasma glucose, and leptin levels, and patterns of hypothalamic gene expression in OLETF rats and mice lacking CCK1 receptors in response to a 10-wk exposure to HFD. Compared with Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) control rats, OLETF rats on HFD had sustained overconsumption over the 10-wk period. High fat feeding resulted in greater increases in body weight and plasma leptin levels in OLETF than in LETO rats. In situ hybridization determinations revealed that, while HFD reduced neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA expression in both the arcuate nucleus (Arc) and the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) of LETO rats, HFD resulted in decreased NPY expression in the Arc but not in the DMH of OLETF rats. In contrast to these results in OLETF rats, HFD increased food intake and induced obesity to an equal degree in both wild-type and CCK1 receptor(-/-) mice. NPY gene expression was decreased in the Arc in response to HFD, but was not detectable in the DMH in both wild-type and CCK1 receptor(-/-) mice. Together, these data provide further evidence for differential roles of CCK1 receptors in the controls of food intake and body weight in rats and mice. 相似文献

Heart rate responses to i.v. administration of cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) were investigated in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats lacking CCK-A receptors and control Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats. The heart rate decreased after i.v. administration of 3 nmol.kg(-)(1) of CCK-8 in LETO rats, but not in OLETF rats. Bradycardia in the LETO rats disappeared after treatment with MK-329, but not after treatment with L-365,260. The expression of CCK-A receptor precursor mRNA was found exclusively in the atrium in LETO rats. These results suggest that CCK-8 decreases heart rate via CCK-A receptors located in the atrium of the rats. 相似文献

CCK-A receptor-deficient Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rats are hyperphagic and develop obesity and Type 2 diabetes. In this strain, taste preference functions have not been investigated. Therefore, a series of short-access, two-bottle tests were performed in age-matched prediabetic OLETF and nonmutant Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats to investigate preference for sucrose (0.03, 0.1, 0.3, or 1.0 M) presented with a choice of water. To discern orosensory from postgastric factors that may contribute to this preference, in a separate experiment, rats were allowed to sham feed sucrose in the absence or presence of duodenal sucrose infusion (0.3, 0.6, or 1.0 M). In the two-bottle real-feeding tests, OLETF rats exhibited a greater preference for 0.3 M sucrose (91.2 +/- 1.7 and 78.5 +/- 3.4% for OLETF and LETO, respectively; P < 0.01) and 1.0 M sucrose (65.3 +/- 1.2 and 57.5 +/- 2.7% for OLETF and LETO, respectively; P < 0.05) than LETO rats. OLETF rats also sham fed less of the lowest (0.03 M; 33.8 +/- 4.8 and 58.3 +/- 7.3 ml for OLETF and LETO, respectively; P < 0.05) and more of the highest (1.0 M; 109.9 +/- 6.5 and 81.0 +/- 3.9 ml for OLETF and LETO, respectively; P < 0.01) concentration of sucrose relative to LETO rats. Finally, intraduodenal sucrose infusions (0.6 and 1.0 M) produced a smaller reduction of 0.3 M sham sucrose intake [14.1 +/- 8.1 vs. 52.5 +/- 3.3 ml and 49.4 +/- 8.0 vs. 82.4 +/- 3.2 ml for 0.6 M (P < 0.01) and 1.0 M (P < 0.05) infusions in OLETF and LETO, respectively]. These findings demonstrate that OLETF rats display an increased preference for sucrose, an effect that is at least partially influenced by the orosensory stimulating effect of sucrose. This enhanced responsiveness to oral stimulation, coupled with the deficit in responding to the postingestive feedback of intestinal sucrose, may contribute additively to the development of hyperphagia and weight gain in OLETF rats. 相似文献

OLETF (Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty) lacking the CCK 1 (A) receptor have similar spontaneous activity and locomotor response (horizontal and vertical activity) in response to a single injection of cocaine as the wild type LETO (Long Evans Tokushima Otsuka) rats. In contrast, the OLETF rats display more stereotypy in response to the first dose of cocaine than the LETO rats. Tested at 7 and 14 days after a one week daily treatment with cocaine, the LETO rats display robust behavioral sensitization to cocaine while the OLETF rats did not. These results support the hypothesis that endogenous CCK released by cocaine treatment and acting at CCK 1 receptors is required for the development and/or expression of this behavior. 相似文献

Enterostatin, a pentapeptide released from the exocrine pancreas and gastrointestinal tract, selectively inhibits fat intake through activation of an afferent vagal signaling pathway. This study investigated if the effects of enterostatin were mediated through a CCK-dependent pathway. The series of in vivo and in vitro experiments included studies of 1) the feeding effect of peripheral enterostatin on Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats lacking CCK-A receptors, 2) the effect of CCK-8S on the intake of a two-choice high-fat (HF)/low-fat (LF) diet, 3) the effects of peripheral or central injection of the CCK-A receptor antagonist lorglumide on the feeding inhibition induced by either central or peripheral enterostatin, and 4) the ability of enterostatin to displace CCK binding in a 3T3 cell line expressing CCK-A receptor gene and in rat brain sections. The results showed that OLTEF rats did not respond to enterostatin (300 microg/kg ip) in contrast to the 23% reduction in intake of HF diet in Long Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) control rats. CCK (1 microg/kg ip) decreased the intake of the HF diet in a two-choice diet regime with a compensatory increase in intake of the LF diet. Peripheral injection of lorglumide (300 microg/kg) blocked the feeding inhibition induced by either near-celiac arterial or intracerebroventricular enterostatin, whereas intracerebroventricular lorglumide (5 nmol icv) only blocked the response to intracerebroventricular enterostatin but not to arterial enterostatin. Enterostatin did not bind on CCK-A receptors because neither enterostatin nor its analogs VPDPR and beta-casomorphin displaced [3H]L-364,718 from CCK-A receptors expressed in 3T3 cells or the binding of 125I-CCK-8S from rat brain sections. The data suggest that both the peripheral and central responses to enterostatin are mediated through or dependent on peripheral and central CCK-A receptors. 相似文献

Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats lacking CCK-A receptors are hyperphagic, obese, and diabetic. We have previously demonstrated that these rats have a peripheral satiety deficit resulting in increased meal size. To examine the potential role of hypothalamic pathways in the hyperphagia and obesity of OLETF rats, we compared patterns of hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY), proopiomelanocortin (POMC), and leptin receptor mRNA expression in ad libitum-fed Long-Evans Tokushima (LETO) and OLETF rats and food-restricted OLETF rats that were pair-fed to the intake of LETO controls. Pair feeding OLETF rats prevented their increased body weight and elevated levels of plasma insulin and leptin and normalized their elevated POMC and decreased NPY mRNA expression in the arcuate nucleus. In contrast, NPY expression was upregulated in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) in pair-fed OLETF rats. A similar DMH NPY overexpression was evident in 5-wk-old preobese OLETF rats. These findings suggest a role for DMH NPY upregulation in the etiology of OLETF hyperphagia and obesity. 相似文献

The Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rat, an outbred strain of Long- Evans Tokushima Otsuka rat (LETO) that lacks CCK-1 receptor expression, is hyperphagic and develops obesity and type-2 diabetes. The present study sought to assess how OLETF rats alter intake, preference, and conditioned preference of palatable solutions after acute food deprivation. Our results show that after 24 h chow restriction, LETO rats increase both sucrose intake and two-bottle sucrose preference relative to their free-fed baseline, whereas OLETF rats do not increase sucrose intake (0.3 M or 1.0 M sucrose) or preference (1.0 M vs. 0.3 M sucrose) when they are food deprived. In contrast, OLETF rats exhibit a higher conditioned flavor preference when sucrose is used as unconditioned stimulus (US) relative to LETO rats, whether overnight food restricted (81% vs. 71% for OLETF and LETO rats, respectively) or free fed (82% vs. 54% for OLETF and LETO rats, respectively) during the test. When a noncaloric saccharin solution is used as US, OLETF rats show a higher preference for the saccharin-associated flavor relative to LETO rats when nondeprived (76% vs. 58% for OLETF and LETO rats, respectively); however, neither strain shows differential conditioned flavor preference for saccharin in the deprivation state during the test. These findings suggest that OLETF rats fail to integrate postabsorptive and orosensory effects of sucrose in a conditioning setting to influence intake. Thus, it appears that OLETF rats form preferences for sucrose based largely on orosensory and hedonic properties of the solution, rather than caloric value. 相似文献

Obese CCK-1 receptor-lacking Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rats are hyperphagic relative to control, nonmutant Long Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats. This study sought to assess whether the overeating observed in OLETF rats is associated with changes in gastric emptying rates or detection of gastric volume. We performed experiments in both 12- and 29-wk-old OLETF and LETO rats to address possible alterations in gastric functions during the development of increased body weight and blood glucose abnormalities in OLETF rats. Gastric emptying of a 5-g solid chow test meal was not significantly different between strains at either 1, 2, or 4 h postmeal. When rats with ad libitum access to chow were tested, there were no significant differences in gastric emptying between strains at any time period despite OLETF rats consuming significantly more chow than LETO rats. Similar to solid food, 5-min gastric emptying of a 5-ml isosmotic and hyperosmotic saline or glucose load was not significantly different between strains. When the stomach was distended with a 15-ml semisolid chow load, there was no significance difference in emptying at either 1 or 2 h. No significant differences in gastric emptying were detected between 12- and 29-wk-old rats under any conditions. Both young and old OLETF rats, however, reduced sham intake significantly less compared with LETO rats during a brief period of gastric distension by 5- or 10-ml balloon inflation. Finally, OLETF rats showed decreased Fos expression in the nucleus of the solitary tract relative to LETO rats after an 8-ml gastric distension. These findings demonstrate that OLETF rats do not express deficits in controlling gastric emptying rates; however, they exhibit decreased behavioral and vagal responsiveness to gastric distension that may contribute to the increased meal size in these animals. 相似文献

To examine the role of cholecystokinin1 receptor (CCK1) in the activation of brainstem and myenteric neurons by CCK, we compared the ability of exogenous CCK-8 to induce Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in these neurons in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, lacking CCK1 receptors, and Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) controls. Five groups (n=4 rats per group) of OLETF rats, and five LETO control groups, were injected intraperitoneally (IP) with 5, 10, 20, and 40 microg/kg CCK-8 or saline. Forty-micrometer brainstem sections containing the area postrema, nucleus of the solitary tract, and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, and myenteric neurons of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum underwent a diaminobenzidine reaction enhanced with nickel to reveal Fos-LI. CCK-8 did not increase Fos-LI in any of the tested neurons in the OLETF rats. CCK-8 increased Fos-LI in the brainstem of the LETO rats in a dose dependent manner. In the LETO rats only 40 microg/kg CCK-8 increased Fos-LI in the myenteric plexus of the jejunum. This study demonstrates that CCK-8 activates the brainstem and myenteric neurons through the CCK1 receptor. 相似文献

Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rats are a strain of Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats that do not express CCK-1 receptors, developing in adulthood, hyperphagia, obesity, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We examined weight gain and meal patterns during a 30-min independent ingestion test on postnatal days 2-4 and again on days 9-11 in OLETF and LETO rat pups. OLETF pups were significantly heavier compared with their LETO controls at both ages, and they consumed significantly more of the sweet milk diet. The difference in intake can be attributed to a significant increase in meal size and duration. Number of clusters and bursts of licking within a meal were greater in OLETF rat pups, with no difference between strains in burst and cluster size. Interlick interval (ILI) was not significantly different between OLETF and LETO pups. This measure decreased on days 9-11 compared with days 2-4 in both strains. Latency to start feeding was significantly shorter on days 2-4 in OLETF vs. LETO pups, but this difference disappeared at the second test at the older age. Two- to four-day-old OLETF pups consumed a larger volume of milk during the first minute of feeding, and their initial lick rate and decay of lick rate were significantly larger compared with their LETO controls. Lack of CCK-1 receptors, or other OLETF-related abnormalities, therefore, resulted in a satiation deficit, leading to increased meal size, hyperphagia, and increased weight gain as early as 2-4 postnatal days. 相似文献

This study was performed to examine the effect of consumption of pork-liver protein hydrolysate (PLH) on body fat accumulation in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats as a non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus model and in Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats as a control. Male 20-week-old OLETF and LETO rats were pair-fed either PLH or casein containing diet for 14 weeks. In the OLETF rats, dietary PLH significantly reduced the growth and weight of fat pad including perirenal and epididymal adipose tissues. Consumption of PLH markedly suppressed hepatic activities of lipogenesis enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and fatty acid synthase and slightly elevated fecal excretion of total fat. In the LETO rats, growth and adipose tissue weight were unaffected by dietary treatment. The results suggest that PLH is a novel ingredient suppressing body fat in genetically obese rats by reducing lipogenesis. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Antioxidant Biofactor (AOB) is a mixture of commercially available fermented grain foods and has strong antioxidant activity. This study investigated the effect of AOB supplementation of standard rat food on markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats with type 2 diabetes. Blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, plasma free fatty acid, triacylglycerol and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) were significantly higher in OLETF rats than in non-diabetic control Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats at 29 weeks. AOB (6.5% of diet) was given to rats during 29-33 weeks of diabetic phase in OLETF rats. OLETF rats with AOB supplementation showed decreased blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, triacyglycerol, low density lipoprotein, cholesterol and PAI-1. Mitochondrial ROS production was significantly increased in heart, aorta, liver and renal artery of OLETF rats. Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is known to regulate ROS production. We found aortic UCP2 protein expression increased in OLETF rats, and AOB returned UCP2 expression to normal. Aortic endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) was also increased in OLETF rats more than in LETO rats at 33 weeks. In contrast, phosphorylated vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, an index of the NO-cGMP pathway, was significantly diminished. AOB increased eNOS proteins in LETO and OLETF rats. In conclusion, AOB significantly improved the NO-cGMP pathway via normalizing ROS generation in OLETF rats. The data suggest that dietary supplementation with AOB contributes to nutritional strategies for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

This study determined the effects of alpha- and gamma-tocopherol supplementation on metabolic control and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats. Blood glucose, haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), urinary protein, plasma free fatty acid, triacylglycerol and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels in OLETF rats were significantly higher than in non-diabetic control Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats. Alpha-tocopherol inhibited the increase in urinary protein, blood glucose, HbA1c and PAI-1 levels, but gamma-tocopherol did not. Plasma and hepatic lipid peroxidation and hepatic steatosis were increased in OLETF rats. alpha-Tocopherol decreased lipid peroxidation. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) expression were significantly increased in the heart and aorta of OLETF rats compared with LETO rats. Endothelial NO synthase and aortic nitrotyrosine were increased in OLETF rats. In contrast, the expression of phosphorylated vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein and glucose transporter 4 in the aorta was significantly decreased in OLETF rats. These abnormalities were reversed by alpha-tocopherol. These findings suggest that alpha-tocopherol may prevent cardiovascular tissues from oxidative stress and insulin signalling disorder resulting from diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) catalyzes the irreversible oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate in mitochondria. The PDC activity is regulated by a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cycle catalyzed by specific kinases (PDK) and phosphatases (PDP). In this study, the regulatory mechanisms of PDC were examined in skeletal muscle of the spontaneously diabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rat before and after the onset of diabetes. The Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rat was used as control. Plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were at normal levels in both groups at 8 weeks of age but were significantly higher in OLETF than in LETO rats at 25 weeks of age (1.2-fold for glucose and 15-fold for insulin), indicating development of diabetes in the former. Plasma free fatty acids were 1.6-fold concentrated and the skeletal muscle PDC activity state was significantly lower in OLETF than in LETO rats at both ages, suggesting suppression of pyruvate oxidation in OLETF rats even before the onset of diabetes. The PDK activity and the abundance of the PDK isoform 4 protein as well as mRNA were greater in OLETF rats at both ages. Conversely, the abundance of the PDP isoform 1 protein and mRNA was less in OLETF than in LETO rats at both ages. These results suggest that concomitant greater PDK4 and less PDP1 expression in skeletal muscle of OLETF rats before the onset of diabetes are responsible for the lowering of the PDC activity and may be related with the development of diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

The hypoglycemic effects of Eriobotrya japonica seeds were investigated in type 2 diabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rats and KK-A(y) mice. The rats and mice were fed on a diet containing 10% powdered Eriobotrya japonica seeds with the coat intact for 4 months. Although the blood glucose concentration in the OLETF rats fed on the control diet without Eriobotrya japonica seeds was increased with time, the concentration in the OLETF rats fed on the diet with Eriobotrya japonica seeds was consistently low throughout the experimental period and was comparable to the level in Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats which are normal non-diabetic rats. Serum insulin was significantly lower in the OLETF rats fed on the Eriobotrya japonica seed diet than in those fed on the control diet at the termination of the experimental period. Eriobotrya japonica seeds suppressed the increment of blood glucose for 4 months and also effectively improved the glucose tolerance in the KK-A(y) mice, these actions being mainly exerted by the ethanol extract of the seeds. These results suggest that Eriobotrya japonica seeds had a hypoglycemic property and the effect is attributable to the components extracted by ethanol. 相似文献

Dietary troglitazone decreases oxidative stress in early stage type II diabetic rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Oxidative stress is involved in the initiation and development of atherosclerosis in diabetes. We tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress is already increased in early stage type II diabetes, and that troglitazone may prevent the increase. Three groups of 20 week old rats were studied: untreated Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, as an animal model of type II diabetes, OLETF rats treated with troglitazone, and control Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats. Plasma lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) concentration, as an indication of lipid peroxidation, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the thoracic aorta were measured. Plasma LOOH concentration was significantly higher in non-treated OLETF rats compared to LETO rats and treatment with troglitazone completely prevented this increase. SOD activity was significantly decreased in non-treated OLETF rats compared to LETO rats and troglitazone attenuated the diminution of it. These observations demonstrate oxidative stress is already increased in the early stage of type II diabetes and we confirmed troglitazone has the effect of an antioxidant in vivo. 相似文献

A rare sugar, d-psicose has progressively been evaluated as a unique metabolic regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism, and thus represents a promising compound for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The present study was undertaken to examine the underlying effector organs of d-psicose in lowering blood glucose and abdominal fat by exploiting a T2DM rat model, Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats. Rats were fed 5% d-psicose or 5% d-glucose supplemented in drinking water, and only water in the control for 13 weeks and the protective effects were compared. A non-diabetic Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO), fed with water served as a counter control of OLETF. After 13 weeks feeding, d-psicose treatment significantly reduced the increase in body weight and abdominal fat mass. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) showed the reduced blood glucose and insulin levels suggesting the improvement of insulin resistance in OLETF rats. Oil-red-O staining elucidated that d-psicose significantly reduced lipid accumulation in the liver. Immunohistochemical analysis showed d-psicose induced glucokinase translocation from nucleus to cytoplasm of the liver which enhances glucokinase activity and subsequent synthesis of glycogen in the liver. d-psicose also protected the pathological change of the β-cells of pancreatic islets. These data demonstrate that d-psicose controls blood glucose levels by reducing lipotoxicity in liver and by preserving pancreatic β-cell function. 相似文献

Effect of leptin on insulin sensitivity in the Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rat 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Leptin has been proposed to be a sensor of energy storage in adipose tissues, and is capable of mediating a feedback signal to the hypothalamus, which is involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis and body weight. In order to investigate the issue of whether resistance to the activity of leptin on insulin sensitivity is observed in young Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats at 8 weeks of age, leptin (50 nmol/kg/h) was administered intravenously for 16 h to OLETF and Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) (lean controls) rats, followed by a measurement of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in hindlimb muscles during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique. In the case of LETO rats, the administration of leptin significantly decreased plasma insulin levels prior to the clamp test, but did not change plasma glucose levels. Furthermore, leptin led to an increase in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in hindlimb muscles. However, in the case of OLETF rats, leptin administration changed neither plasma insulin levels nor insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. These data demonstrate that OLETF rats at 8 weeks of age have already become resistant to high concentration of peripheral leptin. 相似文献

Effects of peripheral administration of melanotan II (MTII), a melanocortin agonist, on insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance were examined in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats. Subcutaneous administration of MTII with osmotic mini-pumps decreased food intake and body weight in OLETF rats. MTII group showed more sensitivity to insulin compared with that allowed to eat ad libitum or pair-fed group in insulin tolerance tests on day 9. MTII group also showed significantly lower glucose values than ad libitum group in glucose tolerance tests on days 11 and 23. Thus, MTII increased insulin sensitivity and improved glucose tolerance in OLETF rats. 相似文献
