Glucagon-like peptide 1-(7–36) amide (GLP-1) potently inhibits rat feeding behavior after central administration. Because third ventricular injection of GLP-1 appeared to be less effective than lateral ventricular injection, we have reexamined this issue. In addition, we attempted to identify brain regions other than the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus that are sensitive toward GLP-1-induced feeding suppression. Finally, we examined the local role of endogenous GLP-1 by specific GLP-1 receptor blockade. After lateral ventricular injection, GLP-1 significantly inhibited food intake of 24-h-fasted rats in a dose-dependent fashion with a minimal effective dose of 1 μg. After third ventricular injection, GLP-1 (1 μg) was similarly effective in suppressing food intake, which extends previous findings. Intracerebral microinjections of GLP-1 significantly suppressed food intake in the lateral (LH), dorsomedial (DMH), and ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), but not in the medial nucleus of the amygdala. The minimal effective dose of GLP-1 was 0.3 μg at LH sites and 1 μg at DMH or VMH sites. LH microinjections of exendin-(9–39) amide, a GLP-1 receptor antagonist, at 1 or 2.5 μg did not alter feeding behavior in 24-h-fasted rats. In satiated animals, however, a single LH injection of 1 μg exendin-(9–39) amide significantly augmented food intake, but only during the first 20 min (0.6 vs. 0.1 g). With three repeated injections of 2.5 μg exendin-(9–39) amide every 20 min, 1-h food intake was significantly increased by 300%. These data strongly support and extend the concept of GLP-1 as a physiological regulator of food intake in the hypothalamus.

The CB1 cannabinoid receptor antagonist, N-piperidino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methylpyrazole-3-carboxamide (rimonabant; SR141716A), and oleoylethanolamide (OEA) are known to reduce food consumption, by, at least partially, a peripheral regulation of feeding. The effects of systemic SR141716A or OEA (5 mg/kg) administrations on food consumption in 24 h food-deprived and fed rats were investigated. In fasted rats, SR141716A and OEA produced an inhibition in food intake measurable the first 20 min following injection. The increase in ghrelin levels observed in the vehicle-injected rats was abolished in animals receiving OEA and significantly reduced with SR141716A. Neither OEA nor SR141716A modified glucagon-like peptide-1 (7–36) amide portal levels 20 min after the administration. In fed rats, plasma ghrelin levels of SR141716A- and OEA-treated rats were 35% lower as compared with those of the vehicle-injected rats. These results show an influence of cannabinoid agents on circulating ghrelin levels and suggest that their short-term action on appetite seems to be in accordance with the control of secretion of gastrointestinal orexigenic peptides, mainly expressed in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.

There is evidence that gastrointestinal function adapts in response to a high-fat (HF) diet. This study investigated the hypothesis that an HF diet modifies the acute effects of duodenal lipid on appetite, antropyloroduodenal pressures, plasma CCK and plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels in humans. Twelve healthy men were studied twice in randomized, crossover fashion. The effects of a 90-min duodenal lipid infusion (6.3 kJ/min) on the above parameters were assessed immediately following 14-day periods on either an HF or a low-fat (LF) diet. After the HF diet, pyloric tonic and phasic pressures were attenuated, and the number of antropyloroduodenal pressure-wave sequences was increased when compared with the LF diet. Plasma CCK and GLP-1 levels did not differ between the two diets. Hunger was greater during the lipid infusion following the HF diet, but there was no difference in food intake. Therefore, exposure to an HF diet for 14 days attenuates the effects of duodenal lipid on antropyloroduodenal pressures and hunger without affecting food intake or plasma hormone levels.

ABSTRACT The acute effects of different macronutrients on the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1(7–36)amide (GLP-1(7–36)amide) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) were compared in healthy human subjects. Circulating levels of the two hormones were measured over a 24-h period during which subjects consumed a mixed diet. In the first study, eight subjects consumed three equicaloric (375 kcal) test meals of carbohydrate, fat and protein. Small increases in plasma GLP-1(7–36) amide were found after all meals. Levels reached a maximum 30 min after the carbohydrate and 150 min after the fat load. Ingestion of both carbohydrate and fat induced substantial rises in GIP secretion, but the protein meal had no effect. In a second study, eight subjects consumed 75 g glucose or the equivalent portion of complex carbohydrate as boiled brown rice or barley. Plasma GIP, insulin and glucose levels increased after all three meals, the largest increase being observed following glucose and the smallest following the barley meal. Plasma GLP-1(7–36)amide levels rose only following the glucose meal. In the 24-h study, plasma GLP-1(7–36)amide and GIP concentrations were increased following every meal and remained elevated throughout the day, only falling to fasting levels at night. The increases in circulating GLP-1(7–36)amide and GIP levels following carbohydrate or a mixed meal are consistent with their role as incretins. The more sustained rises observed in the daytime during the 24-h study are consistent with an anabolic role in lipid metabolism. Journal of Endocrinology (1993) 138, 159–166
