| Research Abstract |
Nesfatin-1 mRNA expression in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of hypothalamus exhibits circadian rhythm with light phase rise, which drives circadian feeding rhythm in rats,. Impairment of the nesfatin-1 rhythm causes impairment of feeding rhythm, hyperphagia and obesity. Supplementation of nesfatin-1 in light phase ameliorates these metabolic disorders.The PNV nesfatin-1 neuron is directly activated by meal-evoked factors, glucose and insulin, and by light-induced neuropeptide PACAP, while it signals to the PVN oxytocin neuron as the downstream effector.
Peripheral administration of oxytocin corrects hyperphagia, obesity, hyperglycemia and fatty liver in high fat diet-fed mice with obesity syndrome. These effects are partly mediated by the signal transfer to the brain via vagal afferent nerves. These results provide a basis for the treatment of human obesity.
