Abstract: A marked increase in food intake is observed in the rat after central injection of neuropeptide-Y (NPY), dynorphin, or noradrenaline (NA). Levels of both NPY and dynorphin are increased in the hypothalamus of food-deprived rats. The aim of this study was to explore the role of NPY, dynorphin, and NA in the central control of feeding after a period of food deprivation. We have investigated the effect of intracerebroventricular injection of a monoclonal antibody to NPY (NPYAb), a potent and selective kappa-opioid receptor antagonist norbinaltorphimine (norBNI), and the alpha-adrenergic antagonist phentolamine on fast-induced food intake. In animals provided with food after a 24-h fast, NPYAb given 10 min before presentation of food reduced food intake by 30% (P < 0.01) compared to that of animals pretreated with an antibody to chloroquine. A similar (34%; P < 0.05) reduction in fast-induced feeding occurred after pretreatment with norBNI. If norBNI was given together with NPYAb, then a reduction of 51% (P < 0.05) was observed. Pretreatment with phentolamine reduced fast-induced food intake by 39% (P < 0.05), with no evidence of an additive effect when phentolamine was given together with NPYAb. These data would support a role for endogenous NPY, dynorphin, and NA in the mediation of fast-induced feeding. NPY would seem to act independently of dynorphin, but through the same mechanism as NA. |
