摘要
Agouti protein and agouti-related protein (AGRP) antagonize alpha-melanocyte;stimulating hormone that binds to and activates the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4-R) in the hypothalamus, thereby stimulating food intake. Melanin-concentrating hormone (MICH) and orexin are orexigenic peptides that specifically are synthesized in the lateral hypothalamus. MCH gene expression was augmented in A(y)/a (agouti) mice which overexpress agouti protein, but orexin mRNA was not. AGRP administered intracerebroventricularly into wild-type rats augmented MCH hut not orexin gene expression. Also, SHCT9119, a peptidergic antagonist of MC4-R, increased only MCH mRNA. These findings indicate that interruption of signaling at MC4-R activates the MCH but not the orexin gene. The biosyntheses of MCH and orexin are regulated through different pathways.
