摘要
Intense immunoreactivity for the leptin receptor was detected in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), ventromedial nucleus (VMH), and lateral hypothalamus (LH) by immunohistochemistry. Cytosolic C2+ concentration ([Ca2+](i)) in single neurons isolated from the ARC, VMH and LH was measured with dual wavelength fura-2 fluorescence imaging. A reduction of the superfusate glucose concentration from 10 to 1 mM increased [Ca2+](i) in 21% of ARC neurons and 22% of LH neurons. Leptin at 0.1 nM inhibited the [Ca2+](i) increase in 66 and 64% of these glucose-sensitive ARC and LH neurons, respectively. Inversely, 10 mM glucose increased [Ca2+](i) in 49% of the VMH neurons, and 0.1 nM leptin at 1 mM glucose also increased [Ca2+](i) in 84% of these glucose-responsive neurons. These results reveal that leptin inhibits the ARC and LH neurons and stimulates the VMH neurons via the leptin receptor expressed in these cells. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
