RFamide peptide QRFP43 causes obesity with hyperphagia and reduced thermogenesis in mice.
QRFP, an RFamide peptide, was recently identified as an endogenous ligand of an orphan G protein-coupled receptor, GPR103. Recent investigation revealed that acute intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of QRFP26/P518/26RFa, a constitutive part of QRFP43 (43-amino acid-residue form of QRFP), increases appetite in mice, but its role in long-term energy homeostasis remains unknown. In the p...
متن کاملGhrelin causes hyperphagia and obesity in rats.
Ghrelin, a circulating growth hormone-releasing peptide derived from the stomach, stimulates food intake. The lowest systemically effective orexigenic dose of ghrelin was investigated and the resulting plasma ghrelin concentration was compared with that during fasting. The lowest dose of ghrelin that produced a significant stimulation of feeding after intraperitoneal injection was 1 nmol. The p...
متن کاملAblation of Sim1 Neurons Causes Obesity through Hyperphagia and Reduced Energy Expenditure
Single-minded 1 (Sim1) is a transcription factor necessary for development of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH). This nucleus is a critical regulator of appetite, energy expenditure and body weight. Previously we showed that Sim1(+/-) mice and conditional postnatal Sim1(-/-) mice exhibit hyperphagia, obesity, increased linear growth and susceptibility to diet-induced obesity...
متن کاملHyperphagia, not hypometabolism, causes early onset obesity in melanocortin-4 receptor knockout mice.
Previous studies on mice with melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4r) knockout have focused on obese adults. Because humans with functional MC4r mutations show early-onset obesity, we determined the onset of excessive fat deposition in 10- to 56-day-old mice, taking into account sex and litter influences. Total body fat content of MC4r-/- on day 35 and MC4r+/- on day 56 significantly exceeds that o...
متن کاملHypermetabolism, Hyperphagia, and Reduced Adiposity in Tankyrase-Deficient Mice
OBJECTIVE Tankyrase (TNKS) is a Golgi-associated poly-ADP-ribose polymerase that is implicated in the regulation of GLUT4 trafficking in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Its chromosomal locus 8p23.1 is linked to monogenic forms of diabetes in certain kindred. We hypothesize that TNKS is involved in energy homeostasis in mammals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Gene-trap techniques were used to ablate TNKS expr...
