چکیده

The present study sought to determine whether central glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-receptor signalling contributes to the anorexigenic effects of systemically administered lithium chloride (LiCl). Male Sprague-Dawley rats with chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) cannulas were acclimated to a feeding schedule that included daily 30-min access to palatable mash. In the first experiment, ICV infusion of a GLP-1-receptor antagonist [exendin-4-(3-39)] significantly attenuated (10 μg dose) or completely blocked (20 μg dose) the inhibition of food intake produced by subsequent ICV infusion of GLP-1-(7-36) amide (5 μg). In the second experiment, rats were infused with 0, 10, or 20 μg of the GLP-1-receptor antagonist ICV, followed by injection of 0.15 M LiCl (50 mg/kg ip) or the same volume of 0.15 M NaCl. The ability of LiCl treatment to suppress food intake was significantly attenuated in rats that were pretreated with the GLP-1-receptor antagonist. These results support the view that central mechanisms underlying LiCl-induced anorexia include a prominent role for endogenous GLP-1 neural pathways.

Central infusion of glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide (GLP-1) receptor antagonist attenuates lithium chloride-induced c-Fos induction in rat brainstem.

Central infusion of glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide (GLP-1) and intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of lithium chloride (LiCl) produce similar patterns of c-Fos induction in the rat brain. These similarities led us to assess the hypothesis that neuronal activity caused by i.p. injection of LiCl involves activation of central GLP-1 pathways. We therefore determined if third-ventricular (i3vt) ...

The role of central glucagon-like peptide-1 in mediating the effects of visceral illness: differential effects in rats and mice.

In rats, central administration of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) elicits symptoms of visceral illness like those caused by the toxin lithium chloride (LiCl), including anorexia, conditioned taste aversion (CTA) formation, and neural activation in the hypothalamus and hindbrain including activation of brainstem preproglucagon cells. Most compellingly, pharmacological antagonists of the GLP-1 r...

The diverse roles of specific GLP-1 receptors in the control of food intake and the response to visceral illness.

Intracerebroventricular administration of glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide (GLP-1) reduces food intake and produces symptoms of visceral illness, such as a conditioned taste aversion (CTA). The central hypothesis of the present work is that separate populations of GLP-1 receptors mediate the anorexia and taste aversion associated with GLP-1 administration. To test this hypothesis, we first ...

The role of CNS glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide receptors in mediating the visceral illness effects of lithium chloride.

Peripheral administration of large doses of lithium chloride (LiCl) to rats causes a spectrum of effects that are consistent with visceral illness. LiCl reduces food intake, decreases salt ingestion after sodium depletion, induces pica, and produces robust conditioned taste aversions. Because some of the effects of peripheral LiCl are mimicked by centrally administered glucagon-like peptide-1 (...

Evidence that intestinal glucagon-like peptide-1 plays a physiological role in satiety.

A physiological role in satiety is proposed for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), secreted by the distal intestine in response to ingested nutrients. Here we report that in rats, ip injection of the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1-R) antagonist exendin 9-39 (Ex9) elicited hyperphagia, but only at times of day when intake is otherwise low. Furthermore, ip administration of Ex9 attenuated satiety induced by...
