This study investigated effect of melanocortin receptor blockade on expression of inflammatory cytokine in white adipose tissue (WAT). Results suggest that i.c.v. administration of agouti-related protein acutely increases the proinflammatory cytokine expression such as TNF・in epididymal WAT via the attenuation of sympathetic nerve activity innervating the tissue and stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptor, without any change in the tissue hypertrophy and food intake.
