Adiposity and serum leptin increase in fatty (fa/fa) BNZ neonates without decreased VMH serotonergic activity.
Decreased ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) serotonergic activity occurs in genetic and diet-induced animal models of obesity. We previously found that this activity was lower in adult and in 12-day-old Zucker fa/fa vs. Fa/Fa pups, the fa/fa animals being identified by their greater adiposity. In the present study, we evaluated fa/fa rats (Brown Norway-Zucker hybrids) at ages 2, 4, 7, and 12 days...
متن کاملPlasma leptin levels and triglyceride secretion rates in VMH-lesioned obese rats: a role of adiposity.
To explore the role of adiposity on hypertriglyceridemia associated with obesity, we examined the relation between triglyceride secretion rate (TGSR) and plasma leptin, insulin, or insulin resistance in ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)-lesioned rats in the dynamic and static phases (2 and 14 wk after lesions, respectively). VMH-lesioned rats gained body weight (BW) at fivefold higher rates in th...
متن کاملComparison of Maternal Serum and Umbilical Cord Blood Leptin Level in IUGR Neonates
Background: Gestational weight gain is an impressive factor in the fetal outcome. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is one of the most important problems during fetal period that may lead to many perinatal and long-term complications and growing neonatal morbidities and mortalities. The aim of the study was to ascertain the relationship between umbilical cord blood leptin concentration and...
متن کاملSerum antioxidant activity in neonates.
Antioxidant activity was measured in cord sera from 25 infants whose birth weights ranged from 830 to 3700 g. Antioxidant activity showed a significant positive association with birth weight. Deficiency in serum antioxidant activity may be important in the pathogenesis of certain neonatal disorders such as retinopathy of prematurity.
متن کاملPeripheral gastric leptin modulates brain stem neuronal activity in neonates.
Afferent sensory fibers are the primary neuroanatomic link between nutrient-related events in the gastrointestinal tract and the central neural substrates that modulate ingestion. In this study, we evaluated the peripheral gastric effects of leptin (OB protein) on brain stem neuronal activities using an in vitro neonatal rat preparation. We also tested gastric leptin effects as a function of ag...
