| Abstract | It is well established that treatment with rimonabant, a CB1 antagonist, decreases food intake and body weight gain. In part, these responses are mediated by increased activity of hypothalamic neurons related with energy homeostasis. However, food consumption is reversed to basal level during prolonged CB1 antagonist treatment, suggesting tolerance to its anorexigenic effect. This study investigated the effects of acute or prolonged CB1 receptor blockade on the expression of hypothalamic neuropeptides involved with energy homeostasis. Male Wistar rats received vehicle, a single dose or daily doses of rimonabant (10 mg/kg by gavage) over 7 days. Food intake, body weight, CRF and CART immunoreactivity, as well as, mRNA expression of hypothalamic neuropeptides were evaluated. In comparison with vehicle treatment, single dose of rimonabant decreased food intake and body weight. Acute rimonabant treatment also increased Fos-CRF and Fos-CART double labeled neurons in the PVN and Fos immunoreactivity in the ARC. We also observed that acute rimonabant treatment increased CRF, CART and TRH mRNA expression in the PVN, while it decreased POMC and NPY mRNA expression in the ARC with no changes in the CART mRNA expression in this nucleus. There was an increase in CB1 mRNA expression in the PVN of rats that received both acute and prolonged-rimonabant treatment. Interestingly, rats subjected to prolonged rimonabant treatment had no changes in food intake, body weight gain, hypothalamic mRNA expression, Fos expression and CRF and CART neuron activation. These data indicate that tolerance to hypophagic effects of CB1 antagonist, rimonabant, is associated with reversion of hypothalamic neuropeptide gene expression related to regulation of energy homeostasis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
