RITO-DOMINGO, Melissa et al. Hypophagic effect of urocortin in adrenalectomized rats: An analysis of the behavioral satiety sequence. Rev. Mex. de trastor. aliment [online]. 2017, vol.8, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 2007-1523. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmta.2016.11.001.
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of stimulation of receptors CRH2 in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus on food intake and expression of behavioral satiety sequence (BSS) in adrenalectomized rats. Eight independent groups of Wistar rats were utilized; four adrenalectomized groups (ADX) and four were false surgery. All subjects were implanted with a cannula in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and were administered with one of the four treatments: vehicle, urocortin-2 (UCN2, CRH2 agonist), antisauvagine-30 (CRH2 antagonist) or antisauvagine-30 + UCN2 (pretreatment). UCN2 administration reduced intake of carbohydrates and fats in ADX rats due to the interruption of the BSS. In rats with false surgery it decreased fat intake due to the advancement of the BSS. Pretreatment prevented the effects induced by UCN2 in ADX rats but not in rats with false surgery. These results suggest that receptors CRH2 modulated intake and BSS in ADX rats, contributing with relevant information for the understanding of the anorexic ethiology and the behavioral pattern associated to it.
