passages.id: IEPA.d195.s470
passages.text: Leptin may rapidly inhibit food intake by altering the secretion of hypothalamic neuropeptides such as neuropeptide Y (NPY), a stimulator of food intake, and/or corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), an inhibitor of food intake
passages.id: IEPA.d195.s471
passages.text: We measured concentrations of NPY and CRH in specific hypothalamic regions [i.e., arcuate nucleus (ARC), paraventricular nucleus (PVN), ventromedial nucleus and dorsomedial nucleus] of 7- to 8-wk-old lean and ob/ob mice at 1 or 3 h after intracerebroventricular leptin administration
passages.id: IEPA.d195.s472
passages.text: No rapid-onset effects of leptin on hypothalamic NPY or CRH concentrations were observed in intact mice
passages.id: IEPA.d195.s473
passages.text: The addition of leptin to hypothalamic preparations from intact mice also did not alter NPY or CRH secretion
passages.id: IEPA.d195.s474
passages.text: Within 20 min after exposure to leptin, NPY secretion from hypothalamic preparations obtained from adrenalectomized mice was lowered by 27% and CRH secretion was elevated by 51%
passages.id: IEPA.d195.s475
passages.text: The current study demonstrates that leptin rapidly influences the secretion of hypothalamic NPY and CRH and that these actions of leptin within the hypothalamus are restrained by the presence of endogenous corticosterone
