  • Hypothalamic NPY mRNA exhibited a trend toward an increase although the effect was not significant (p = 0.14; Fig.

  • Adrenalectomy has been reported to block elevations in NPY mRNA in response to fasting [ 14 ] . On the other hand, it has been reported that elevation of plasma corticosterone levels is not required for the induction of NPY mRNA by fasting [ 15 ] . In addition, the extent to which hypothalamic AGRP and POMC mRNA depends on elevated glucocorticoid levels in fasting and insulin deficiency has not been determined to date.

  • Adrenalectomy also blocked the effects of fasting on hypothalamic NPY mRNA (Fig.

  • Glucocorticoids have previously been reported to increase body weight set point, as determined by hoarding behavior in rats [ 11 ] , while adrenalectomy has been reported to lower body weight set point in rats [ 12 ] . In addition, central infusion of glucocorticoids leads to increases in body weight and food intake with a concomitant induction of hypothalamic NPY [ 13 ] . Nevertheless, it remains unclear if an elevation in glucocorticoid concentration contributes to the effect of fasting on hypothalamic gene expression.

  • As with AGRP mRNA, NPY mRNA was elevated in diabetic mice, and adrenalectomy blocked this induction of NPY mRNA in diabetic mice whether or not they were fasted (Fig.
