Female Zucker lean and obese rats were treated for 14 days with 3.5 micromol/kg oleoyl-estrone (OE) in liposomes (Merlin-2). After 0, 3, 6, 10, and 14 days of treatment, the rats were killed and hypothalamic nuclei (lateral preoptic, median preoptic, paraventricular, ventromedial and arcuate) were used for neuropeptide Y (NPY) radioimmunoassay. In 14 days, OE decreased food intake by 26% in lean and 38% in obese rats and energy expenditure by 6% in lean and 47% in obese rats; the body weight gap between controls and treated rats becoming -17.8% of initial b.wt. in the lean and -13.6% in the obese rats. Obese rats showed higher NPY levels in all the nuclei than the lean rats. Despite a negative energy balance and decreased food intake, there were practically no changes in NPY with OE treatment. The results indicate that oleoyl-estrone does not act through NPY in its control of either food intake or thermogenesis in lean and genetically obese rats.
雌性Zucker瘦型和肥胖型大鼠用脂质体(Merlin - 2)中的3.5微摩尔/千克油酰雌酮(OE)处理14天。在处理0、3、6、10和14天后,处死大鼠,取下丘脑核(外侧视前核、正中视前核、室旁核、腹内侧核和弓状核)用于神经肽Y(NPY)放射免疫测定。在14天内,OE使瘦型大鼠的食物摄入量减少26%,肥胖型大鼠减少38%;使瘦型大鼠的能量消耗减少6%,肥胖型大鼠减少47%;对照组和处理组大鼠之间的体重差距在瘦型大鼠中变为初始体重的-17.8%,在肥胖型大鼠中变为-13.6%。肥胖大鼠所有核中的NPY水平均高于瘦型大鼠。尽管能量平衡为负且食物摄入量减少,但OE处理后NPY几乎没有变化。结果表明,在瘦型和遗传性肥胖型大鼠中,油酰雌酮在控制食物摄入或产热方面并非通过NPY起作用。
