Central administration of ghrelin and agouti-related protein (83-132) increases food intake and decreases spontaneous locomotor activity in rats.
Ghrelin was recently identified as an endogenous ligand of the GH secretagogue receptor. The novel peptide hormone is produced by gastric A-like cells, and circulating levels rise before feeding, suggestive of ghrelin as an endogenous hunger factor. ghrelin stimulates food intake and promotes adiposity after peripheral or central administration, likely by activating hypothalamic neurons express...
متن کاملEnvironmental enrichment increases PACAP levels in the CNS of adult rats.
OBJECTIVE Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a pleiotropic and multifunctional neuropeptide, widely distributed throughout the body. It is involved in the regulation of various physiological and pathophysiological processes. Numerous studies have shown that PACAP is involved in the development of the central nervous system and has neuroprotective effects. Environmenta...
متن کاملMusic and methamphetamine: conditioned cue-induced increases in locomotor activity and dopamine release in rats.
Associations between drugs of abuse and cues facilitate the acquisition and maintenance of addictive behaviors. Although significant research has been done to elucidate the role that simple discriminative or discrete conditioned stimuli (e.g., a tone or a light) play in addiction, less is known about complex environmental cues. The purpose of the present study was to examine the role of a music...
متن کاملSpontaneous locomotor activity and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia are not linked in 6-OHDA parkinsonian rats
Bradykinesia (slowness of movement) and other characteristic motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD) are alleviated by treatment with L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). Long-term L-DOPA treatment, however, is associated with complications such as motor fluctuations and dyskinesia that severely impair the quality of life. It is unclear whether the effect of L-DOPA on spontaneous motor a...
متن کاملSpontaneous locomotor activity and food and water intake in rats with medial amygdala lesions.
Locomotor activity was studied with the method of electromagnetic activity meters, before and after operation in rats bilaterally lesioned in medial amygdala, and in a sham-operated control. Two activity tests were performed daily. In the first test spontaneous activity was recorded for a 30 min period without access to food or water. The second test measured 12 h of nocturnal activity with ful...
