The weight-reducing effect of an intracerebroventricular bolus injection of leptin in genetically obese fa/fa rats. Reduced sensitivity compared with lean animals
I Cusin, F Rohner-Jeanrenaud, A Stricker-Krongrad and B Jeanrenaud
Laboratory of Metabolic Research, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, Switzerland.
The effect of different doses of leptin, given as an
intracerebroventricular (ICV) bolus, on body weight gain and food intake
was investigated during refeeding, following a 24-h fast in lean (FA/fa)
rats. It was observed that ICV leptin resulted in a dose-dependent decrease
in body weight gain, compared with vehicle injection, a difference that
persisted for at least 6 days. This was associated with a transient
reduction in food intake over the first 2 days after leptin injection. More
importantly, the effect of leptin was also observed in genetically obese
fa/fa rats but at the expense of two to ten times higher leptin
concentrations, indicating the presence of decreased leptin sensitivity.
Furthermore, ICV leptin injections were able to decrease neuropeptide Y
(NPY) levels in the arcuate and paraventricular hypothalamic nuclei in both
lean and genetically obese fa/fa rats, although a higher leptin dose was
again needed in the obese group. These observations provide further
evidence for the implication of NPY and leptin in a regulatory loop
controlling body homeostasis. This loop is functional in lean and
genetically obese fa/fa rats, provided that leptin levels in the central
nervous system are high enough in the obese group, in particular. Since
human obesity is frequently associated with elevated circulating leptin
levels, a state of decreased leptin sensitivity (i.e., leptin resistance),
similar to that described here in fa/fa rats, could possibly occur in human
syndromes as well.
