In rats, overnight fasting reduces the ability of systemic cholecystokinin-8 (CCK) to suppress food intake and to activate cFos in the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract (cNTS), specifically within glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and noradrenergic (NA) neurons of the A2 cell group. Systemic CCK increases vagal sensory signaling to the cNTS, an effect that is amplified by leptin and reduced by ghrelin. Since fasting reduces plasma leptin and increases plasma ghrelin levels, we hypothesized that peripheral leptin administration and/or antagonism of ghrelin receptors in fasted rats would rescue the ability of CCK to activate GLP-1 neurons and a caudal subset of A2 neurons that coexpress prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP). To test this, cFos expression was examined in ad libitum-fed and overnight food-deprived (DEP) rats after intraperitoneal CCK, after coadministration of leptin and CCK, or after intraperitoneal injection of a ghrelin receptor antagonist (GRA) before CCK. In fed rats, CCK activated cFos in ~60% of GLP-1 and PrRP neurons. Few or no GLP-1 or PrRP neurons expressed cFos in DEP rats treated with CCK alone, CCK combined with leptin, or GRA alone. However, GRA pretreatment increased the ability of CCK to activate GLP-1 and PrRP neurons and also enhanced the hypophagic effect of CCK in DEP rats. Considered together, these new findings suggest that reduced behavioral sensitivity to CCK in fasted rats is at least partially due to ghrelin-mediated suppression of hindbrain GLP-1 and PrRP neural responsiveness to CCK.
