Abstract
Adrenalectomy (ADX)-induced hypophagia is associated with increased activation of corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) and oxytocin (OT) neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) after refeeding. CRF2- and OT-receptor antagonists abolish the hypophagia and the augmented activation of the nucleus of the solitary tract neurons induced by feeding after ADX. In addition, OT-receptor antagonist reversed CRF-induced anorexia. We evaluated the effect of intracerebroventricular pretreatment with CRF2-receptor antagonist, antisauvagine-30 (AS30), on the activation of OT neurons of the PVN in response to refeeding of sham, adrenalectomized (ADX) and ADX rats replaced with corticosterone (ADX+B). In vehicle-pretreated animals, refeeding increased the number of Fos+OT double labeled neurons in the posterior parvocellular subdivision of the PVN (PaPo) of sham, ADX and ADX+B animals, with higher Fos expression and OT neuronal activation in the ADX group. AS30 reversed refeeding-induced increased activation of OT and non-OT neurons in the PaPo in the ADX group. In the medial parvocellular subdivision of the PVN (PaMP) of vehicle-pretreated animals, the number of Fos- and Fos+OT-immunoreactive neurons was increased afte...Continue Reading
