Intestinal infusion of nutrients, such as glucose and oleic acid, increase Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in both the enteric nervous system and neurons of the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the hindbrain. To test the hypothesis that increased Fos-LI in enteric neurons and the DVC, following intestinal nutrient infusions is mediated by cholecystokinin(1) receptors (CCK(1)), we counted enteric and DVC neurons that expressed Fos-LI following intestinal infusion of oleate or glucose, with and without pretreatment with the CCK(1) receptor antagonist, lorglumide. Both oleate and glucose infusions increased Fos-LI in the DVC. Oleate also increased Fos-LI in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the duodenum and the jejunum, but not the ileum, while glucose only increased Fos-LI in the submucosal plexus of the ileum. The CCK(1) receptor antagonist, lorglumide, abolished Fos-LI in the DVC following infusions of either oleate or glucose. In addition, lorglumide attenuated oleate-induced Fos-LI in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the duodenum and jejunum. However, lorglumide failed to attenuate glucose-induced Fos-LI in the submucosal plexus of the ileum. These data confirm previous reports indicating that CCK(1) receptors mediate increased DVC Fos-LI following intestinal infusion of oleate or glucose. CCK(1) receptors also contribute to increased Fos-LI in enteric neurons following intestinal oleate infusion. However, failure of lorglumide to attenuate the increase of Fos-LI in the ileal submucosal plexus following intestinal glucose suggests that some intestinal nutrients trigger Fos-LI induction via CCK(1) receptor-independent pathways.

Xenin is a 25-amino acid peptide identified in human gastric mucosa, which is widely expressed in peripheral and central tissues. It is known that the central or peripheral administration of xenin decreases food intake in rodents. Nesfatin-1/NUCB2 (nesfatin-1) has been identified as an anorexic neuropeptide, it is often found co-localized with many peptides in the central nervous system.

Recently, we reported that non-sulfated cholecystokinin-8 (NS CCK-8) reduces food intake by cholecystokinin-B receptors (CCK-BR). To examine a possible site of action for this peptide, and based on the fact that both NS CCK-8 and CCK-BR are found centrally and peripherally, in the current study we hypothesized that NS CCK-8 increases Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI, a neuronal activation marker) in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the hindbrain and the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the small intestine. We found that intraperitoneal NS CCK-8 (0.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how galanin receptor type 2 (GalR2) expression in specific dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons changes after a chronic nerve injury, using double immunofluorescence labeling methods to track these changes.
- - It was found that the percentage of GalR2-positive neurons significantly increased after nerve injury, peaking one week later, and that blocking GalR2 (with M871) reduced pain sensitivity, while activating it (with AR-M1896) slightly worsened it.
- - The results suggested that GalR2 activation likely enhances c-Fos expression in the cuneate nucleus, which plays a role in transmitting pain sensations to the brain, indicating a potential target for pain

Pain management remains a major concern regarding the treatment of postoperative patients. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are considered to be new therapeutic targets for pain control. We investigated whether the genes Trpv1 and Trpv4 are involved in hind paw swelling caused after surgical incision in mice or in incision-induced Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) levels in the central nervous system.

Background: Peptide tyrosine tyrosine 3-36 (peptide YY 3-36 or PYY 3-36) reduces food intake by unknown site(s).
Aim: To test the hypothesis that the gastrointestinal tract contains sites of action regulating meal size (MS) and intermeal interval (IMI) length by PYY 3-36.
Methods: Peptide YY 3-36 (0, 1, 5, 10 and 20 nmol/kg) was injected in the aorta, the artery that supplies the gastrointestinal tract, prior to the onset of the dark cycle in free feeding male Sprague-Dawley rats and food intake was measured.
