Diazepam-induced hyperphagia in mice is sensitive to quinpirole.
The present trial examined the possibility that diazepam (DZP, 1 mg/kg) induces hyperphagia by acting on the dopaminergic system. Quinpirole (QP), dopamine D-2 receptor agonist, was used for this purpose. Mice fasted for 24 hr were treated with QP 1 (QP-1) or 2 (QP-2) mg/kg 30 min prior to termination of the starvation. DZP was given to untreated mice and half of the QP-1 and QP-2 treated mice ...
متن کاملATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel-Deficient Mice Show Hyperphagia but Are Resistant to Obesity
BACKGROUND The hypothalamus, the center for body weight regulation, can sense changes in blood glucose level based on ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels in the hypothalamic neurons. We hypothesized that a lack of glucose sensing in the hypothalamus affects the regulations of appetite and body weight. METHODS To evaluate this hypothesis, the responses to glucose loading and high fat fee...
متن کاملHyperactivity induced by the dopamine D2/D3 receptor agonist quinpirole is attenuated by inhibitors of endocannabinoid degradation in mice.
The present study was designed to investigate the effect of pharmacological inhibition of endocannabinoid degradation on behavioural actions of the dopamine D2/D3 receptor agonist quinpirole in male C57Bl/6J mice. In addition, we studied the effects of endocannabinoid degradation inhibition on both cocaine-induced psychomotor activation and behavioural sensitization. We analysed the effects of ...
متن کاملRole of nitric oxide in the development of tolerance to diazepam-induced motor impairment in mice.
Chronic treatment with the benzodiazepines is well known to produce tolerance, which has been extensively documented to be attributed to modifications in the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurotransmission. However, literature data have also suggested the participation of different neurotransmitter systems, including glutamatergic, in benzodiazepine tolerance. The purpose of the present s...
متن کاملSex differences in hyperphagia and body weight gains following goldthioglucose-induced hypothalamic lesions in mice*
Hypothalamic damage was induced in age-matched male and female albino mice by goldthioglucose injection, and their food consumption and body weight were compared over the following 60-day period. Sex differences in food consumption were also investigated as a function of palatability of food. Results show no significant sex differences in food consumption, although marked sex differences in bod...
