AbstractMammals receive body energy information to maintain energy homeostasis. Ghrelin, insulin, leptin and vagal afferents transmit the status of fasting, blood glucose, body fat, and food intake, respectively. Estrogen also inhibits feeding behavior and lipogenesis, but increases body fat mass. However, how blood triglyceride levels are monitored and the physiological roles of estrogen from the perspective of lipid homeostasis remain unsettled. Here, we show that stomach secretes estrogen in response to the blood triglyceride levels. Estrogen-secreting gastric parietal cells predominantly use fatty acids as an energy source. Blood estrogen levels increase as blood triglyceride levels rise in a stomach-dependent manner. Estrogen levels in stomach tissues increase as blood triglyceride levels rise, and isolated gastric gland epithelium produces estrogen in a fatty acid-dependent manner. We therefore propose that stomach monitors and controls blood triglyceride levels using estrogen, which inhibits feeding behavior and lipogenesis, and promotes triglyceride uptake by adipocytes.

Abstract The central nervous system receives body energy information and controls feeding behavior and lipogenesis1. Ghrelin, insulin, leptin and vagal afferents transmit the status of fasting, blood glucose, body fat, and food intake, respectively2-5. Estrogen, which is secreted from adipocytes and gastric parietal cells and from the ovaries in females, also acts upon the central nervous system and liver to inhibit feeding behavior and lipogenesis6-9. How blood triglyceride levels are monitored and how estrogen levels are regulated from the perspective of the lipid homeostasis is not well understood. Using male rats, we show that gastric parietal cells secrete estrogen in response to blood triglyceride levels. Parietal cells predominantly use fatty acid as an energy source. When male rats are administered olive oil or glucose, blood estrogen levels increase as the blood triglyceride, but not glucose, levels rise. Estrogen levels in stomach tissues increase as the blood triglyceride levels rise, and blood triglyceride level-dependent increases of blood estrogen levels are cancelled in gastrectomized rats. We therefore propose that in males, parietal cells in the stomach act as a sensor for the blood triglyceride levels and can secrete estrogen to inhibit the hepatic lipogenesis and feeding behavior when blood triglyceride levels are high.

Leptin is a 16kDa peptide hormone mainly secreted by fat cells to regulate of food intake and energy homeostasis, and to signal the status of body energy stores to the brain (Houseknecht et al., 1998). In ruminant, reducing feedstuffs particle size increases DM intake, particularly if feedstuffs quality is poor, due to a shorter retention time of the particles in the rumen. By-products are included in the ration to supply energy and protein, but they have often a high content of fibre. The by-product fibre has different properties than forage NDF, being characterised by particles of small dimensions and a high density. The aim of this study was to compare the plasma level of leptin in lactating goats fed a traditional silage-based diet or a totally free forage diet, throughout lactation and during the pre and post-feeding state.

Alterations in metabolism are a major component of cardiovascular disease associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. The complex interplay between these three diseases poses a challenge for successful treatment and warrants further studies directed at understanding the intertissue communication between major metabolic organs. We previously identified a signaling pathway within the heart that modulates systemic energy homeostasis by regulation of Med13, a component of the kinase submodule of the Mediator Complex, in the heart. The Mediator Complex is a large, multiprotein complex that functions to integrate signal specific events with transcriptional activation and elongation in a context dependent manner. Our current work further delineates a mechanism by which Med13 in the heart functions to regulate whole body energy homeostasis. The increase in energy expenditure in Med13 transgenic (TG) mice is due in part to increased triglyceride uptake and beta-oxidation in white adipose tissue and liver. Additionally, the expression of Krebs Cycle and fatty acid oxidation genes are increased in adipose tissue and liver as measured by RNA seq and in metabolite production in Med13 Tg mice. Together, these results demonstrate the Mediator Complex regulates cardiac gene expression and metabolite production which communicates with energy depots within the body to modulate whole body energy homeostasis.

The 16kDa peptide hormone leptin is an adipose tissue-derived regulator of food intake and energy homeostasis, and a signal of the status of body energy stores to the brain. Plasma levels of leptin reflect body fat mass in humans, rodents and ruminants (Houseknecht et al., 1998; Delavaud et al., 2000). The aim of this study was to investigate circadian rhythms of plasma leptin and other metabolic variables in rabbits, to assess the influence of the timing of food intake and to investigate the relationship between leptin and lipid metabolites.

Adipocytes play an important role in normal physiology as a major site for systemic energy homeostasis. In disorders such as diabetes, adipocyte function is markedly altered. In this study, we investigated the effect of pioglitazone, a novel antidiabetic agent known to lower plasma glucose in animal models of diabetes mellitus, on cellular differentiation and expression of adipose-specific genes. Treatment of confluent 3T3-F442A preadipocyte cultures for 7 days with pioglitazone (Pio; 1 microM) and insulin (Ins; 0.17 microM) resulted in > 95% cell differentiation into lipid-accumulating adipocytes in comparison with 60-80% cell differentiation by treatment with either agent alone. Analysis of triglyceride accumulation showed increases of triglyceride content over time above untreated preadipocytes by treatment of the cells with Ins, Pio, and especially with Ins + Pio. Basal glucose transport, as measured by cellular uptake of 2-deoxy-D-[14C]glucose, was likewise enhanced in a time-dependent manner by treatment of preadipocytes with Ins, Pio, or Ins + Pio, such that a synergistic effect resulted from the combined treatment with both agents. It was further determined that RNA transcript abundance for genes encoding glucose transporters GLUT-1 and GLUT-4, as well as the adipose-specific genes encoding adipsin and aP2, were increased by the Ins, Pio, or Ins + Pio treatment. Taken together, these findings indicate that pioglitazone is a potent adipogenic agent. By promoting differentiation, this agent may move cells into a state active for glucose uptake, storage, and metabolism.

Skeletal Muscle Adaptations

Exercise increases the metabolic capacity of skeletal muscle, which improves whole-body energy homeostasis and contributes to the positive health benefits of exercise. This is, in part, mediated by increases in the expression of a number of metabolic enzymes, regulated largely at the level of transcription. At a molecular level, many of these genes are regulated by the class II histone deacetylase (HDAC) family of transcriptional repressors, in particular HDAC5, through their interaction with myocyte enhancer factor 2 transcription factors. HDAC5 kinases, including 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase and protein kinase D, appear to regulate skeletal muscle metabolic gene transcription by inactivating HDAC5 and inducing HDAC5 nuclear export. These mechanisms appear to participate in exercise-induced gene expression and could be important for skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) has been proposed to act in a vagally dependent manner to increase pancreatic exocrine secretion via actions exclusively at peripheral vagal afferent fibers. Recent evidence, however, suggests the CCK-8s may also affect brain stem structures directly. We used an in vivo preparation with the aims of 1) investigating whether the actions of intraduodenal casein perfusion to increase pancreatic protein secretion also involved direct actions of CCK at the level of the brain stem and, if so, 2) determining whether, in the absence of vagal afferent inputs, CCK-8s applied to the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) can also modulate pancreatic exocrine secretion (PES). Sprague-Dawley rats (250–400 g) were anesthetized and the common bile-pancreatic duct was cannulated to collect PES. Both vagal deafferentation and pretreatment with the CCK-A antagonist lorglumide on the floor of the fourth ventricle decreased the casein-induced increase in PES output. CCK-8s microinjection (450 pmol) in the DVC significantly increased PES; the increase was larger when CCK-8s was injected in the left side of the DVC. Protein secretion returned to baseline levels within 30 min. Microinjection of CCK-8s increased PES (although to a lower extent) also in rats that underwent complete vagal deafferentation. These data indicate that, as well as activating peripheral vagal afferents, CCK-8s increases pancreatic exocrine secretion via an action in the DVC. Our data suggest that the CCK-8s-induced increases in PES are due mainly to a paracrine effect of CCK; however, a relevant portion of the effects of CCK is due also to an effect of the peptide on brain stem vagal circuits.

AbstractMetabolic feedback between the gut and the brain relayed via the vagus nerve contributes to energy homeostasis. We investigated in healthy adults whether non-invasive stimulation of vagal afferents impacts energy homeostasis via efferent effects on metabolism or digestion. In a randomized crossover design, we applied transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) while recording efferent metabolic effects using simultaneous electrogastrography (EGG) and indirect calorimetry. We found that taVNS reduced gastric myoelectric frequency (p =.008), but did not alter resting energy expenditure. We conclude that stimulating vagal afferents induces gastric slowing via vagal efferents without acutely affecting net energy expenditure at rest. Collectively, this highlights the potential of taVNS to modulate digestion by activating the dorsal vagal complex. Thus, taVNS-induced changes in gastric frequency are an important peripheral marker of brain stimulation effects.

Biological processes utilize energy and therefore must be prioritized based on fuel availability. Bone is no exception to this, and the benefit of remodeling when necessary outweighs the energy costs. Bone remodeling is important for maintaining blood calcium homeostasis, repairing micro cracks and fractures, and modifying bone structure so that it is better suited to withstand loading demands. Osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and osteocytes are the primary cells responsible for bone remodeling, although bone marrow adipocytes and other cells may also play an indirect role. There is a renewed interest in bone cell energetics because of the potential for these processes to be targeted for osteoporosis therapies. In contrast, due to the intimate link between bone and energy homeostasis, pharmaceuticals that treat metabolic disease or have metabolic side effects often have deleterious bone consequences. In this brief review, we will introduce osteoporosis, discuss how bone cells utilize energy to function, evidence for bone regulating whole body energy homeostasis, and some of the unanswered questions and opportunities for further research in the field.
