The hormonal control of food intake 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Numerous circulating peptides and steroids produced in the body influence appetite through their actions on the hypothalamus, the brain stem, and the autonomic nervous system. These hormones come from three major sites-fat cells, the gastrointestinal tract, and the pancreas. In this Review we provide a synthesis of recent evidence concerning the actions of these hormones on food intake. 相似文献

The concerted activity of many neuropeptides has been implicated in the neurohormonal control of specific behaviors and various physiological functions in some invertebrate model systems. What are the functional consequences of this neuropeptide multiplicity? The distinct actions of closely related neuropeptides have been detected in molluscs and insects; however, recent work provides examples of systems in which some of the multiple isoforms may be functionally redundant. Groups of functionally distinct neuropeptides encoded by the same gene can be expressed in different neurons by alternative gene splicing or cell-specific post-translational processing; therefore, as shown recently, they can be targeted for release as ‘cocktails’ to act on specific sets of muscles or neurons. One prominent role of neuropeptides is to modulate the activity of rhythm-generating circuits, as exemplified by recent research on mollusc neural networks, the crab stromatogastric ganglion, and fly circadian pacemakers. 相似文献

Eleven multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates (comprising 6 porcine and 5 bovine field isolates) displaying fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance were selected from a collection obtained from the University Veterinary Hospital (Dublin, Ireland). MICs of nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin were determined by Etest. All showed MICs of nalidixic acid of >256 μg/ml and MICs of ciprofloxacin ranging from 4 to >32 μg/ml. DNA sequencing was used to identify mutations within the quinolone resistance-determining regions of target genes, and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to evaluate the expression of the major porin, OmpF, and component genes of the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump and its associated regulatory loci. Decreased MIC values to nalidixic acid and/or ciprofloxacin were observed in the presence of the efflux pump inhibitor phenylalanine-arginine-β-naphthylamide (PAβN) in some but not all isolates. Several mutations were identified in genes coding for quinolone target enzymes (3 to 5 mutations per strain). All isolates harbored GyrA amino acid substitutions at positions 83 and 87. Novel GyrA (Asp87 → Ala), ParC (Ser80 → Trp), and ParE (Glu460 → Val) substitutions were observed. The efflux activity of these isolates was evaluated using a semiautomated ethidium bromide (EB) uptake assay. Compared to wild-type E. coli K-12 AG100, isolates accumulated less EB, and in the presence of PAβN the accumulation of EB increased. Upregulation of the acrB gene, encoding the pump component of the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump, was observed in 5 of 11 isolates, while 10 isolates showed decreased expression of OmpF. This study identified multiple mechanisms that likely contribute to resistance to quinolone-based drugs in the field isolates studied. 相似文献

The current view of the control of food intake involves a central feeding system in the hypothalamus receiving input from peripheral systems. The presence of food in the gut stimulates the release of several regulatory peptides that control gut motility and secretion. Some of these peptides also act as feedback satiety signals, responsible for termination of a meal. Among the regulatory peptides suggested as peripheral satiety signals are cholecystokinin and gastrin releasing peptide. A more long-term peripheral regulation of food intake has also been postulated and leptin has been suggested as a regulator of food intake. Several regulatory peptides mediate orexigenic or anorexigenic effects in the central feeding system. Neuropeptide Y and galanin both act centrally and stimulate the intake of food, while corticotropin releasing factor reduces food intake. At present, most information about the regulation of food intake is gained from mammalian studies and these findings are used as a base for a discussion on the current knowledge of how regulatory peptides control appetite in non-mammalian vertebrates. 相似文献

Antimicrobial agents exert a selection pressure not only on pathogenic, but also on commensal bacteria of the intestinal tract of humans and animals. The aim of this work was to determine the occurrence of different enterococcal species and to analyse the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and the mechanisms implicated, as well as the genetic diversity in enterococci recovered from faecal samples of food-producing animals (poultry, beef and sheep) in Tunisia. Antimicrobial resistance and the mechanisms implicated were studied in 87 enterococci recovered from 96 faecal samples from animals of Tunisian farms. Enterococcus faecium was the most prevalent species detected (46 %), followed by E. hirae (33.5 %). High percentages of resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline were found among our isolates, and lower percentages to aminoglycosides and ciprofloxacin were identified. Most of the tetracycline-resistant isolates carried the tet(M) and/or tet(L) genes. The erm(B) gene was detected in all erythromycin-resistant isolates. The ant(6)-Ia, aph(3′)-Ia and aac(6′)-aph(2″) genes were detected in nine aminoglycoside-resistant isolates. Of our isolates, 11.5 % carried the gelE gene and exhibited gelatinase acitivity. The esp gene was detected in 10 % of our isolates and the hyl gene was not present in any isolate. The predominant species (E. faecium and E. hirae) showed a high genetic diversity by repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP)-PCR. Food animals might play a role in the spread through the food chain of enterococci with virulence and resistance traits to humans. 相似文献

In this report, we investigated the role of exogenous and endogenous enkephalins on food intake in the cat, using, respectively, exogenous [D-Ala2-Met5]-enkephalin (DAME) and acetorphan (Ac) in order to inhibit the degradation of endogenous enkephalins. In addition, the selective peripheral antagonist naltrexone methylbromide (NTxMB) and the nonselective antagonist naloxone (Nx) were used in an attempt to discriminate central and peripheral opioid receptors. In 18-hours food-deprived animals, Ac (5 mg/kg IV) increased milk intake during sham feeding (+18%, p less than 0.05), but did not modify it in feeding conditions. Nx (1 mg/kg SC) reduced milk intake in sham-feeding experiments (-67%, p less than 0.01) more than in milk-feeding conditions (-30%, p less than 0.01). NTxMB (1 mg/kg SC) did not modify milk intake in sham-feeding but decreased it in feeding experiments. In nonfasted animals, Ac did not modify food intake. IV infusion of DAME (50 micrograms/kg) resulted in a reduction of daily food intake (-32%, p less than 0.01). Nx (1 mg/kg SC) decreased the earlier 30 min intake followed by reduction of daily intake (-30%, p less than 0.01). NTxMB (1 and 4 mg/kg SC) increased the 30-min intake dose dependently, without significant change in daily intake. In conclusion, Ac increases food intake in sham-feeding conditions, suggesting that endogenous enkephalins are likely to be involved in the stimulation of food intake. The effects of Nx and NTxMB furthermore suggest both a central activation, and a peripheral inhibition of food intake by opiates when food is allowed to proceed normally through the digestive tract. 相似文献

We previously reported that MK-801 (dizocilpine), an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptors, increased meal size and duration in rats. MK-801 did not increase sham feeding or attenuate reduction of sham feeding by intraintestinal nutrient infusions. These results suggested that the MK-801-induced increase in meal size did not depend on antagonism of postgastric satiety signals. Consequently, we hypothesized that the NMDA antagonist might increase food intake by directly antagonizing gastric mechanosensory signals or by accelerating gastric emptying, thereby reducing gastric mechanoreceptive feedback. To test this hypothesis, we recorded intake of 15% sucrose in rats implanted with pyloric cuffs that could be closed to prevent gastric emptying. Sucrose intake was increased when the pyloric cuffs were open, allowing the stomach to empty. However, intake was not increased when the pyloric cuffs were inflated, causing gastric retention of all ingested sucrose. Direct measurements of gastric emptying revealed that MK-801 accelerated the emptying of 5-ml loads of 0.9% NaCl and 15% sucrose. Furthermore, MK-801 also accelerated the rate of emptying of freely ingested sucrose regardless of the volume ingested. Taken together with our previous findings, these results indicate that blockade of NMDA receptors with MK-801 does not increase food intake by antagonizing gastric mechanosensation. Rather, it accelerates gastric emptying, and thereby may indirectly reduce gastric mechanoreceptive cues, resulting in prolongation of eating. Modulation of gastric emptying rate by NMDA receptors could play an important role in the control of meal sizes. 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
