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.
Adrenalectomy also blocked the effects of fasting on hypothalamic NPY mRNA (Fig.
Adrenalectomy therefore completely blocked the effects of fasting on hypothalamic AGRP, POMC and NPY mRNAs.
Five micrograms of total RNA from hypothalamus was subjected to Northern blot analysis, as described previously, to measure POMC, AGRP and NPY mRNA [ 3 4 5 9 ] . Seven micrograms of total RNA from adipose tissue was also subjected to Northern blot analysis to measure leptin mRNA.
Therefore hypothalamic AGRP and POMC mRNAs were both induced by the glucocorticoid implant, whereas the NPY mRNA was not significantly influenced.
