Weight Perturbation Alters Leptin Signal Transduction in a Region-Specific Manner throughout the Brain
Diet-induced obesity (DIO) resulting from consumption of a high fat diet (HFD) attenuates normal neuronal responses to leptin and may contribute to the metabolic defense of an acquired higher body weight in humans; the molecular bases for the persistence of this defense are unknown. We measured the responses of 23 brain regions to exogenous leptin in 4 different groups of weight- and/or diet-pe...
متن کاملBehavioral stress alters corticolimbic microglia in a sex- and brain region-specific manner
Women are more susceptible to numerous stress-linked psychological disorders (e.g., depression) characterized by dysfunction of corticolimbic brain regions critical for emotion regulation and cognitive function. Although sparsely investigated, a number of studies indicate sex differences in stress effects on neuronal structure, function, and behaviors associated with these regions. We recently ...
متن کاملSignal Transduction Pathways for Leptin
Leptin is a critical regulator of energy balance in mammals and has served as a launch point for innumerable studies examining the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure (1). At high physiological concentrations, leptin causes a decrease in food intake, an increase in energy expenditure, and a shift to increased fatty acid oxidation. These physiological shifts lead to a decrease in bo...
متن کاملEstrogen receptors stimulate brain region specific metabotropic glutamate receptors to rapidly initiate signal transduction pathways.
Estradiol and other steroid hormones modulate the nervous system and behavior on both acute and long-term time scales. Though estradiol was originally characterized as a regulator of gene expression through the action of nuclear estrogen receptors (ERs) that directly bind DNA, research over the past thirty years has firmly established that estradiol can bind to extra-nuclear ERs associated with...
متن کامل2-Aminopurine inhibits leptin receptor signal transduction.
Leptin is an important circulating signal for the regulation of food intake and body weight. In the present study, we investigated the effect of 2-aminopurine (2-AP), an inhibitor of double-strand RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR), on leptin signal transduction. 2-AP dose-dependently inhibited the leptin-induced phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), ext...
