Savastano, David M., Melissa Carelle, and Mihai Covasa. Serotonin-type 3 receptors mediate intestinal Polycose-and glucoseinduced suppression of intake. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 288: R1499 -R1508, 2005. First published February 17, 2005 doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00745.2004.-Ondansetron, a selective serotonin-type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist, was used to test the hypothesis that duodenal infusion of isosmotic solutions of Polycose or its hydrolytic product glucose suppressed intake through 5-HT3 receptors. Polycose suppressed sucrose intake across both concentrations infused (132 mM, 7.6 Ϯ 0.6 ml; 263 mM, 2.3 Ϯ 0.5 ml), compared with intake under control conditions (12.6 Ϯ 0.3 ml, P Ͻ0.001). Pretreatment with 1.0 mg/kg ondansetron attenuated reduction of sucrose intake induced only by the highest concentration of Polycose (4.6 Ϯ 0.8 ml, P ϭ 0.004). Dose-response testing revealed that suppression of food intake by 263 mM Polycose was equally attenuated by ondansetron administered at 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mg/kg but not when given at 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mg/kg. Acarbose, an ␣-glucosidase inhibitor, attenuated Polycose-induced suppression of food intake, and pretreatment with 1.0 mg/kg ondansetron had no further effect. Suppression of intake after 990 mM glucose but not mannitol infusion was attenuated by pretreatment with 1.0 mg/kg ondansetron. The competitive SGLT1 inhibitor, phloridzin, had no effect on 60-min 990 mM glucose-induced suppression of intake or the ability of ondansetron to attenuate this suppression of intake. Conversely, glucoseinduced suppression of intake was attenuated by phloridzin at earlier time points and further attenuated when rats were pretreated with 1.0 mg/kg ondansetron. Ondansetron administration alone had no effect on intake at any dose tested. We conclude that 5-HT 3 receptors participate in the inhibition of food intake by intraduodenal infusion of carbohydrate solutions through a posthydrolytic, preabsorptive mechanism. nutrient absorption; food intake; satiation THE PRESENCE OF NUTRIENTS in the intestine elicits signals essential to feedback control of ingestion. Considerable advances have been made in understanding the mechanisms by which nutrients in the intestine suppress intake in a number of species (30, 33), including rats (42, 51, 53) and humans (74). For example, it is well documented that intestinal carbohydrates reduce food intake in a dose-responsive manner (53, 76) by preabsorptive (63, 78) as well as postabsorptive (71) factors, largely through vagal afferent pathways (78, 79). However, the complete mechanism(s) by which intestinal oligosaccharides or monosaccharides is perceived to elicit negative feedback control of intake is not known. Administration of the ␣-glucosidase inhibitor, acarbose, attenuates reduction of food intake and c-Fos-immunoreactivity by maltotriose (62, 63). Moreover, inhibition of sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 (SGLT 1 ) by intestinal phloridzin infusion fails to attenuate suppression of food intake and vagal afferent activation...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
