| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the cooperative protective role of estrogen and orexin in abnormalities with emotion and metabolism in menopausal mice. Female, but not male mice, were protected against metabolic abnormalities fed high-fat diet. The additional orexin deficiency induced the metabolic abnormalities in the female mice. Ovariectomized orexin knockout mice fed high-fat diet presented excessive weight gain and impaired glucose tolerance. The impaired glucose tolerance was ameliorated when estrogen was administered intracerebroventricularly to the ovariectomized high-fat fed mice. However, the beneficial effect of estrogen was disappeared in the ovariectomized mice lacking orexin. These results indicate that estrogen and orexin cooperatively regulate glucose and energy homeostasis in female mice.
