Enterostatin inhibition of dietary fat intake is modulated through the melanocortin system

Abstract: Enterostatin injected into the amygdala selectively reduces dietary fat intake by an action that involves a serotonergic component in the paraventricular nucleus. We have investigated the role of melanocortin signaling in the response to enterostatin by studies in melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) knockout mice and by the use of the MC4R and MC3R antagonist SHU9119, and by neurochemical phenotyping of enterostatin activated cells. We also determined the effect of enterostatin in vivo on the expression of AgRP in … Show more

“…Dietary fat intake can be reduced by injections of either enterostatin (33,34) or NPY (41) while Mu-opioid agonists will enhance fat intake (51). In this manuscript, we provide evidence for melanocortin signaling to affect dietary fat intake in a similar manner to that previously demonstrated within the hypothalamus (21,23,26,42).…”

“…It plays an important role in the development of conditioned taste aversion and the reward response to ingested food (19,54). Previous research from our group has shown the importance of the amygdala in modulating food preferences whether it was through the administration of enterostatin (32,33) or NPY (41) in rats given a two-choice diet paradigm. In the study presented here, we have examined the role of the melanocortin system in the amygdala control of food intake and macronutrient selection using the melanocortin agonist MTII, the melanocortin antagonist SHU-9119, and the reverse agonist AgRP.…”

“…It is produced in the exocrine pancreas, gastrointestinal tract and in specific regions of the brain. 1,4,5 In addition to its effects on feeding behavior, enterostatin also has metabolic effects, directly promoting fatty acid oxidation in muscle 6 and inhibiting insulin secretion. 7 The enterostatin receptor has been identified as the b-subunit protein of the F1-ATPase complex.…”
