Intracerebroventricular leptin regulates hepatic cholesterol metabolism.
To elucidate the control of hepatic cholesterol metabolism by leptin, rats were administered IV (intravenous) leptin, ICV (intracerebroventricular) leptin or saline. A single low dose of ICV leptin was as effective as a continuous IV infusion of high-dose leptin at decreasing the activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase. These results indicate th...
متن کاملMelanocortin-independent effects of leptin on hepatic glucose fluxes.
Leptin and insulin share some hypothalamic signaling molecules, but their central administration induces different effects on hepatic glucose fluxes. Acute insulin infusion in the third cerebral ventricle inhibits endogenous glucose production (GP), whereas acute leptin infusion stimulates gluconeogenesis but does not alter GP because of a compensatory decrease in glycogenolysis. Because melano...
متن کاملDecreased visceral adiposity accounts for leptin effect on hepatic but not peripheral insulin action.
Leptin decreases visceral fat (VF) and increases peripheral and hepatic insulin action. Here, we generated similar decreases in VF using leptin (Lep), β3-adrenoreceptor agonism (β3), or food restriction (FR) and asked whether insulin action would be equally improved. For 8 days before the in vivo study, Sprague-Dawley rats ( n = 24) were either fed ad libitum [control (Con)], treated with Lep o...
متن کاملLXRα Regulates Hepatic ChREBPα Activity and Lipogenesis upon Glucose, but Not Fructose Feeding in Mice
Liver X receptors (LXRα/β) and carbohydrate response element-binding proteins (ChREBPα/β) are key players in the transcriptional control of hepatic de novo lipogenesis. LXRα/β double knockout (LXRα-/-/β-/-) mice have reduced feeding-induced nuclear O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) signaling, ChREBPα activity, and lipogenic gene expression in livers, suggesting important roles for LXRs in...
متن کاملIntracerebroventricular Leptin Infusion Improves Glucose Homeostasis in Lean Type 2 Diabetic MKR Mice via Hepatic Vagal and Non-Vagal Mechanisms
MKR mice, lacking insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) signaling in skeletal muscle, are lean yet hyperlipidemic, hyperinsulinemic, and hyperglycemic, with severe insulin resistance and elevated hepatic and skeletal muscle levels of triglycerides. We have previously shown that chronic peripheral administration of the adipokine leptin improves hepatic insulin sensitivity in these mice ...
