Increased neuropeptide-Y messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and decreased neurotensin mRNA in the hypothalamus of the obese (ob/ob) mouse
Abstract
The obese hyperglycaemic ob/ob mouse exhibits hyperphagia and other abnormalities of hypothalamic function. We measured hypothalamic concentrations of four peptides implicated in the control of appetite and energy expenditure, neuropeptide-Y (NPY), neurotensin, galanin, and somatostatin, by RIA and their respective mRNAs using semiquantitative Northern blotting. Using lean (+/+) mice as controls, we found unchanged concentrations of NPY, galanin, and somatostatin and a 25% reduction in neurotensin (P < 0.01). Neurotensin mRNA was similarly decreased (by 30%; P < 0.02), while NPY mRNA was increased 3-fold (P < 0.01). Centrally administered neurotensin decreases food intake, whereas NPY potently stimulates food intake. An increase in NPY gene expression together with reductions in neurotensin concentration and mRNA in the hypothalamus may be implicated in the development of hyperphagia and other neuroendocrine abnormalities seen in the ob/ob mouse.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
