Differential response of TRHergic neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in female animals submitted to food-restriction or dehydration-induced anorexia and cold exposure

Abstract

TRH neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), regulate pituitary-thyroid axis (HPT). Fasting activates expression of orexigenic peptides from the arcuate nucleus, increases corticosterone while reduces leptin, and pro-TRH mRNA levels despite low serum thyroid hormone concentration (tertiary hypothyroidism). TRH synthesis is positively regulated by anorexigenic peptides whose expression is reduced in fasting. The model of dehydration-induced anorexia (DIA) leads to decreased voluntary food intake but peptide expression in the arcuate is similar to forced-food restriction (FFR), where animals remain hungered. We compared the response of HPT axis of female Wistar rats submitted to DIA (2.5% saline solution, food ad libitum, 7 days) with FFR (provided with the amount of food ingested by DIA) and naïve (N) group fed ad libitum, as well as their response to acute cold exposure. Pro-TRH and pro-CRH mRNA levels in the PVN were measured by RT-PCR, TRH content, serum concentration of TSH and thyroid hormones by radioimmunoassay. DIA rats reduced 80% their food consumption compared to N, decreased PVN pro-CRH expression, serum estradiol and leptin levels, increased corticosterone similar to FFR. HPT axis of DIA animals fa...Continue Reading
