Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Serotonin (5-HT) plays a key role in controlling food intake and feeding behaviour and drugs targeting the 5-HT transporter (SERT) at the synaptic cleft have been used to treat feeding related disorders. To test the hypothesis that SERT might be one of the etiologic factors in the rebound hyperphagia that frequently follows the abandoning of calorie restriction diets, brain SERT content and gene expression were assessed in a restricted feeding/repletion (RFR) protocol in female rats. Animals were food-restricted (2 h access to food per day) for 7 consecutive days and then allowed constant free access to food (FAF). This intermittent fasting protocol resulted in rebound hyperphagia. Higher levels of plasma corticosterone during fasting in food-deprived rats were used as an index of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation. Neither brain SERT density nor expression was modified following the RFR protocol. Nevertheless, with respect to other messengers involved in eating behaviour, in the presence of low plasma leptin levels, an increase in NPY expression and a parallel decrease in POMC expression were observed in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus of rats killed just before rebound hyperphagia. Food-restricted animals provide a tool for the further study of neurochemical alterations and for the development of new drugs to treat alterations that may occur in humans when dieting is abandoned. |
