Model of voluntary ethanol intake in zebrafish: Effect on behavior and hypothalamic orexigenic peptides
Recent studies in zebrafish have shown that exposure to ethanol in tank water affects various behaviors, including locomotion, anxiety and aggression, and produces changes in brain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine. Building on these investigations, the present study had two goals: first, to develop a method for inducing voluntary ethanol intake in individual zebrafish, which ca...
متن کاملNovel antimicrobial peptides derived from flatfish genes.
We report on the identification of active novel antimicrobials determined by screening both the genomic information and the mRNA transcripts from a number of different flatfish for sequences encoding antimicrobial peptides, predicting the sequences of active peptides from the genetic information, producing the predicted peptides chemically, and testing them for their activities. We amplified 35...
متن کاملInvolvement of the CXCL12 System in the Stimulatory Effects of Prenatal Exposure to High-Fat Diet on Hypothalamic Orexigenic Peptides and Behavior in Offspring
Exposure to a high fat diet (HFD) during gestation stimulates neurogenesis and expression of hypothalamic orexigenic neuropeptides that affect consummatory and emotional behaviors. With recent studies showing a HFD to increase inflammation, this report investigated the neuroinflammatory chemokine, CXCL12, and compared the effects of prenatal CXCL12 injection to those of prenatal HFD exposure, f...
متن کاملHypothalamic control of energy balance: different peptides, different functions.
Energy balance is maintained via a homeostatic system involving both the brain and the periphery. A key component of this system is the hypothalamus. Over the past two decades, major advances have been made in identifying an increasing number of peptides within the hypothalamus that contribute to the process of energy homeostasis. Under stable conditions, equilibrium exists between anabolic pep...
متن کاملThe role of hypothalamic peptides in consummatory feeding behavior
Carter, K. and Lester, E. The role ofhypothalamic peptides in consummatory feeding behavior. There are two components of feeding behavior that are higWy regulated, an appetitive component, which involves the motivated acquisition of food, and the consummatory component, which involves the chewing and swallowing of food once it is in the mouth. Norepinephrine (NE), neuropeptide Y (NPY), and Agou...
