1. Glial cell activity is maintained during prolonged inflammatory challenge in rats
We evaluated the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), glutamine synthetase (GS), ionized calcium binding adaptor protein-1 (Iba-1), and ferritin in rats after single or repeated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment, which is known to induce endotoxin tolerance and glial activation. Male Wistar rats (200-250 g) received ip injections of LPS (10

2. Imunodetecção do receptor metabotrópico mGluR8 no núcleo arqueado do hipotálamo de ratos Wistar e estudo dos efeitos, no receptor, resultantes da exposição oral sub-crônica ao glutamato monossódico / Imunodetecction of mGluR8 receptor in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus of Wistar rats and study of the effects, on the receptor, resulting from sub-chronic exposure to monosodium glutamate
Food is part of human culture not only associated to physiological needs. Food is composed of several molecules among them amino acids. Glutamate (GLU) is the anion of one of the main amino acids found in foods that, besides being part of the food composition, is a molecule essential for human physiology. It can also be ingested due to the use of the food ad

3. Estradiol-induced hypophagia is associated with the differential mRNA expression of hypothalamic neuropeptides
Estradiol participates in the control of energy homeostasis, as demonstrated by an increase in food intake and in body weight gain after ovariectomy in rats. In the present study, female Wistar rats (200-230 g, N = 5-15 per group), with free access to chow, were individually housed in metabolic cages. We investigated food intake, body weight, plasma leptin l

4. Hormonal Modulation of Amino Acid Neurotransmitter Metabolism in the Arcuate Nucleus of the Adult Female Rat: A Novel Action of Estradiol
Morphological plasticity in response to estradiol is a hallmark of astrocytes in the arcuate nucleus. The functional consequences of these morphological changes have remained relatively unexplored. Here we report that in the arcuate nucleus estradiol significantly increased the protein levels of the two enzymes in the glutamate-glutamine cycle, glutamine syn

5. Orexins, orexigenic hypothalamic peptides, interact with autonomic, neuroendocrine and neuroregulatory systems
We determined the immunohistochemical distributions of orexin-A and orexin-B, hypothalamic peptides that function in the regulation of feeding behavior and energy homeostasis. Orexin-A and -B neurons were restricted to the lateral and posterior hypothalamus, whereas both orexin-A and -B nerve fibers projected widely into the olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex,

6. Effect of a high-fat diet on food intake and hypothalamic neuropeptide gene expression in streptozotocin diabetes.
Insulin-deficient diabetic rats are markedly hyperphagic when fed a high-carbohydrate (HC) diet, but normophagic when fed a high-fat (HF) diet. When maintained on a HC diet, diabetic rats also exhibit increased gene expression of the orexigenic peptide neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, and reduced expression of the anorectic peptide c

7. Transplantable rat glucagonomas cause acute onset of severe anorexia and adipsia despite highly elevated NPY mRNA levels in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus.
We have isolated a stable, transplantable, and small glucagonoma (MSL-G-AN) associated with abrupt onset of severe anorexia occurring 2-3 wk after subcutaneous transplantation. Before onset of anorexia, food consumption is comparable to untreated controls. Anorexia is followed by adipsia and weight loss, and progresses rapidly in severity, eventually resulti

8. alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone: immunohistochemical identification and mapping in neurons of rat brain.
alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-melanotropin) immunofluorescence was observed in rat brain by means of a highly specific and well-characterized antibody. The hormone was contained in arcuate nucleus cell bodies and in varicose fibers. Dense populations of hormone-containing fibers were present in the septum, the nucleus interstitialis stria termi

9. Autoradiographic localization of a binding protein(s) specific for prostaglandin D2 in rat brain.
The specific [3H]prostaglandin (PG) D2 binding was detected by using the slide-mounted sections of rat brain fixed by perfusion with 2% paraformaldehyde. The binding was reversible, saturable, high affinity, Na+ dependent, and highly specific for PGD2. These binding characteristics are essentially similar to those observed with the synaptic membrane of rat b

10. Identification of targets of leptin action in rat hypothalamus.
The hypothesis that leptin (OB protein) acts in the hypothalamus to reduce food intake and body weight is based primarily on evidence from leptin-deficient, ob/ob mice. To investigate whether leptin exerts similar effects in normal animals, we administered leptin intracerebroventricularly (icv) to Long-Evans rats. Leptin administration (3.5 microg icv) at th

11. Early postnatal development of the arcuate nucleus in normal and sexually reversed male and female rats.
The ultrastructural characteristics of the arcuate nucleus in the rat were examined at days 2, 5, 10 and 15 postpartum in order to evaluate the cytological development of the nucleus during sexual differentiation of the hypothalamus. In an effort to accentuate potential steroid-dependent structural features, the nucleus in normal male and female rats was com

12. Important role of hypothalamic Y2 receptors in body weight regulation revealed in conditional knockout mice
Neuropeptide Y is implicated in energy homeostasis, and contributes to obesity when hypothalamic levels remain chronically elevated. To investigate the specific role of hypothalamic Y2 receptors in this process, we used a conditional Y2 knockout model, using the Cre-lox system and adenoviral delivery of Cre-recombinase. Hypothalamus-specific Y2-deleted mice
