چکیده

Central effects of insulin on 20 min. food intake were studied in rats. Insulin administration in the lateral ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) did not alter food intake in the intact or lesioned ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) rats. Whereas, after insulin injection in VMH there was a decrease in food intake. In VMH lesioned rats, subcutaneous injection of insulin increased food intake.

Pathophysiological significance of the obese gene product, leptin, in ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)-lesioned rats: evidence for loss of its satiety effect in VMH-lesioned rats.

To explore the pathophysiological significance of the obese (ob) gene product, leptin, in ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)-lesioned rats, we examined the synthesis and secretion of leptin and its satiety effect in VMH-lesioned rats compared with those in sham-operated rats. Northern blot analysis revealed that ob gene expression is markedly augmented in the mesenteric and sc white adipose tissue...

Effect of sulpiride injection into ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus on food and water intake and weight in male rats

Weight gain, obesity and hyperprolactinemia are important complications of long-term administration of neuroleptic drugs, which may affect the patient's general health and well- being that itself interferes with treatment compliance. The purpose of this study was to identify the mechanism of occurrence of these side-effects. Because of the important role of ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus ...

Injection of Urocortin 3 into the ventromedial hypothalamus modulates feeding, blood glucose levels, and hypothalamic POMC gene expression but not the HPA axis.

Urocortin 3 (Ucn 3) is a corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-related peptide with high affinity for the type 2 CRF receptor (CRFR2). Central administration of Ucn 3 stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, suppresses feeding, and elevates blood glucose levels, suggesting that activation of brain CRFR2 promotes stress-like responses. Several CRFR2-expressing brain areas, including th...

Adrenalectomy reduces neuropeptide Y-induced insulin release and NPY receptor expression in the rat ventromedial hypothalamus.

Chronic central administration of neuropeptide Y (NPY) causes hyperphagia, hyperinsulinemia, and obesity, a response that is prevented by prior adrenalectomy (ADX) in rats. The basis of NPY's effect and how the acute responses to this peptide are affected by ADX remain unknown. This study investigates the role of glucocorticoids in acute NPY-stimulated food intake, acute NPY-induced insulin rel...

Preabsorptive insulin release and hypoglycemia in rats.

Peripheral blood glucose and immunologically reactive insulin levels were determined in freely moving normal rats which were submitted either to a free oral glucose load or to a gastric administration of the glucose load. Identical determinations were performed in ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus-(VMH) lesioned and vagotomized rats after the same oral intake. It was demonstrated that: 1) a fre...
