摘要
Following refeeding, c-fos expression is induced in a particular set of brain regions that include the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), parabrachial nucleus (PB), central amygdala (CeA), paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), supraoptic nucleus (SON) and the circumventricular organs. Within the PVH, the expression is particularly intense in the magnocellular division of the nucleus and it is as yet not clear how this activation occurs. The respective contribution of the vagus afferents and lamina terminalis, which conveys signals entering the brain through the forebrain circumventricular organs, has been investigated in rats subjected to a unilateral cervical vagotomy (UCV) or a unilateral lesion of the fibres running within the lamina terminalis (ULT) and projecting to the neuroendocrine hypothalamus. UCV significantly decreased postprandial c-fos expression in the NTS, PB, CeA and parvocellular division of the PVH. In contrast, ULT impaired postprandial activation of the magnocellular neurons in the PVH and SON. The present study also characterized the types of neurons activated in the PVH and SON during refeeding. In the magnocellular regions, arginine-vasopressin (AVP) neurons were activated upon refeeding whereas there was no apparent induction of Fos expression in oxytocin cells. In the parvocellular PVH, postprandial Fos was induced only in 30% of the corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) and AVP neurons. The results of the present study suggest that the postprandial activation of the brain requires the integrity of both the vagal- and lamina terminalis-associated pathways.
