The melanocortin receptor (MC3-R and MC4-R) antagonist, agouti-related protein (AGRP), is a potent stimulant of food intake. We examined the effect of chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) AGRP treatment on energy metabolism and pituitary function in ad libitum fed rats and rats administered AGRP and then pair-fed to a saline control group. Chronic ICV AGRP (83-132) administration (1 nmol/day f...
Background Recently, it has been reported that central administration of agouti-related peptide (AgRP) might have protective effect against cachexia development in tumor-bearing mice. In this study, we determined whether the disease-free endometrial cancer survivors present with different plasma AgRP levels than controls and whether there was an association with the duration of the disease-free...
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is an endogenous antagonist of the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) that functions in the hypothalamic control of feeding behavior. Our previous studies have suggested that in addition to exoloops 2 and 3, several transmembrane domains of MC4R may be important for AGRP binding. However, the detailed molecular basis of MC4R domains in AGRP binding is presently unclear...
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is a naturally occurring antagonist of melanocortin action that is thought to play an important role in the hypothalamic control of feeding behavior. The exact mechanism of AGRP and Agouti protein action has been difficult to examine, in part because of difficulties in producing homogeneous forms of these molecules that can be used for direct binding assays. In thi...
AgRP neuron activity drives feeding and weight gain whereas that of nearby POMC neurons does the opposite. However, the role of excitatory glutamatergic input in controlling these neurons is unknown. To address this question, we generated mice lacking NMDA receptors (NMDARs) on either AgRP or POMC neurons. Deletion of NMDARs from AgRP neurons markedly reduced weight, body fat and food intake wh...
OBJECTIVE In the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), orexigenic agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons regulate feeding behavior and energy homeostasis, functions connected to bone metabolism. The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) serves as a major signaling molecule particularly for leptin and insulin in AgRP neurons. We asked whether PDK1 in AGRP neurons also contributes to ...
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is thought to be one of the neuropeptides mediating the effects of leptin on appetite and satiety. The central administration of AGRP not only stimulates food intake, but also inhibits the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis (HPT) axis, closely replicating the central hypothyroid state induced by fasting. AGRP binds as an endogenous antagonist or inverse agonist of...
OBJECTIVE Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP) are involved in energy homeostasis in the rat. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of MC4R and AgRP mRNAs in arcuate nucleus (ARC) during long term malnutrition of female ovariectomized rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten female ovariectomized rats were divided into two equal groups (n=6) of normal ...
چکیده مقدّمه: AGRP، یک نرو پپتید مترشحه از هستة کمانی هیپوتالاموس است و نقش مهمّی در تعادل انرژی، کنترل وزن و دریافت غذا ایفا میکند. گزارش شده است که شرایط منفی تعادل انرژی، موجب افزایش مقادیر AGRP میشود و با ایجاد شرایط مثبت تعادل انرژی ( بازسازی منابع انرژی) متوقّف میشود. هدف از اجرای این پژوهش، بررسی اثر مصرف قند خوراکی (گلوکز) پس از یک فعّالیّت دایرهای مقاومتی بر روی AGRP، انسولین و گلوکز پل...
Hypothalamic neurons that express neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) are thought to be critical regulators of feeding behavior and body weight. To determine whether NPY/AgRP neurons are essential in mice, we targeted the human diphtheria toxin receptor to the Agrp locus, which allows temporally controlled ablation of NPY/AgRP neurons to occur after an injection of diphtheria...
