Peptidoglycan fragments decrease food intake and body weight gain in rats.
We hypothesized that peptidoglycan (PG) fragments decrease appetite in rats. Male Lewis rats (150 g; n > or = 7) received intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of purified soluble PG fragments that had been treated with polymyxin B-agarose to remove residual endotoxin. Food consumption and body weight gain were determined at intervals after injection. Single i.p. injections of macromolecular extens...
متن کاملDifferent types of soluble fermentable dietary fibre decrease food intake, body weight gain and adiposity in young adult male rats
BACKGROUND Dietary fibre-induced satiety offers a physiological approach to body weight regulation, yet there is lack of scientific evidence. This experiment quantified food intake, body weight and body composition responses to three different soluble fermentable dietary fibres in an animal model and explored underlying mechanisms of satiety signalling and hindgut fermentation. METHODS Young ...
متن کاملCentral transthyretin acts to decrease food intake and body weight.
Transthyretin (TTR) is a blood and cerebrospinal fluid transporter of thyroxine and retinol. Gene expression profiling revealed an elevation of Ttr expression in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) of rats with exercise-induced anorexia, implying that central TTR may also play a functional role in modulating food intake and energy balance. To test this hypothesis, we have examined the effects of...
متن کاملPeripheral oxyntomodulin reduces food intake and body weight gain in rats.
Oxyntomodulin (OXM) is a circulating gut hormone released post prandially from cells of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Given intracerebroventricularly to rats, it inhibits food intake and promotes weight loss. Here we report that peripheral (ip) administration of OXM dose-dependently inhibited both fast-induced and dark-phase food intake without delaying gastric emptying. Peripheral OXM administr...
متن کاملThe effects of morphine and nicotine co-administration on body weight, food intake and appetite-regulating peptides in rats
Previous studies in humans and animals have reported that nicotine administration decreases body weightand caloric intake. Opiate and cigarette have been used concomitantly as drug abuse. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to analyze the effect of chronic co-administration of nicotine and morphine on food intake, body weight and on some feeding-associated peptides. All experiments wer...
