The effects of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptor antagonists, alpha-helical CRF-(9-41), [D-Phe12,Nle21,38, CalphaMe-Leu37]humanCRF-(12-41) (D-PheCRF-(12-41)) and astressin ([cyclo(30-33)[D-Phe12,Nle21,38,Glu30,Lys33]h umanCRF-(12-41) upon hypophagic and motor activation response to human/ratCRF (h/rCRF) were investigated. All three antagonists (100 microg intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.)) blocked the effects of h/rCRF (1 microg i.c.v.) upon food intake and body weight change in food-deprived rats. In contrast, alpha-helical CRF-(9-41) and astressin (both at 100 microg i.c.v., but not lower doses), but not D-PheCRF-(12-41) (up to 100 microg i.c.v.), blocked h/rCRF (0.3 microg i.c.v.)-induced motor activation in rats in a familiar environment. The ability of D-PheCRF-(12-41) to block CRF-induced hypophagia, but not motor activation, suggests a selective action of this antagonist upon the behavioural effects of centrally administered h/rCRF.
研究了促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子(CRF)受体拮抗剂α-螺旋CRF-(9 - 41)、[D-苯丙氨酸12,Nle21,38,α-甲基亮氨酸37]人CRF-(12 - 41)(D-PheCRF-(12 - 41))和阿斯特辛([环(30 - 33)[D-苯丙氨酸12,Nle21,38,谷氨酸30,赖氨酸33]人CRF-(12 - 41)]对饥饿大鼠进食和运动激活反应的影响。所有三种拮抗剂(脑室内注射100微克)均能阻断人/大鼠CRF(h/rCRF,脑室内注射1微克)对饥饿大鼠食物摄入量和体重变化的影响。相比之下,α-螺旋CRF-(9 - 41)和阿斯特辛(均为脑室内注射100微克,但较低剂量无效),而非D-PheCRF-(12 - 41)(脑室内注射剂量高达100微克),能阻断在熟悉环境中h/rCRF(脑室内注射0.3微克)诱导的大鼠运动激活。D-PheCRF-(12 - 41)能够阻断CRF诱导的摄食减少,但不能阻断运动激活,这表明该拮抗剂对中枢给予的h/rCRF的行为效应具有选择性作用。
