Prolactin (PRL)-releasing peptide (PrRP) is a new peptide present in the hypothalamus and in the circulation that may be involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. In the present experiment, we measured it in a well-known model of obesity, the Zucker rat. We also measured the reactivity of this animal in terms of food intake after the intraperitoneal (I.P.) or central injection of PrRP-13, a...
Melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) is a peptide synthesized in the lateral hypothalamus which stimulates food ingestion and leptin secretion in rodents. In this experiment, we measured the expressions of MCH as well as of its receptor (SLC-1) in the hypothalamus of obese hyperphagic and lean Zucker rats by quantitative real time RT-PCR. MCH mRNA expression in the obese rats was significantly increased...
