AGRP — LEP
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Wilson et al., Endocrinology 1999
(Obesity...) :
These results suggest that in the fed state,
AGRP is normally
suppressed by
leptin , and that release of this suppression during fasting leads to increased ingestive behavior
Ebihara et al., Diabetes 1999
:
We also studied
leptin 's
regulation of hypothalamic
AGRP mRNA expression
Li et al., Endocrinology 2000
:
In fasted animals
leptin dose-dependently
suppressed basal
AGRP-LI release ... These studies demonstrate that in the rat there are different levels of basal hypothalamic
AGRP-LI release in fed and fasted states and that in the fasted rat this release can be profoundly
suppressed by
leptin
Ahima et al., Regul Pept 2000
(Body Weight) :
In contrast,
leptin decreased body weight and adiposity, increased CART and
suppressed NPY and
AGRP mRNA expression in adult mice
Hidaka et al., J Neurochem 2001
(Diabetes Mellitus, Experimental...) :
We proceeded to analyze whether insulin or
leptin played the greater role in the regulation of
AGRP using Zucker fa/fa rats
Korner et al., J Neuroendocrinol 2001
(Body Weight...) :
Leptin regulation of
Agrp and Npy mRNA in the rat hypothalamus
Tsuruta et al., Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2002
(Body Weight...) :
The
effects of
leptin on cocaine- and amphetamine regulated transcript ( CART ) and
agouti related protein (AGRP) expression in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus of obese A ( y ) /a mice were investigated
Hoggard et al., J Mol Endocrinol 2004
(Obesity...) :
Additionally
leptin inhibits release of
agouti related protein (AgRP) , an MC4R antagonist
Breen et al., Brain Res 2005
:
Agouti related protein (AGRP) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) have opposing effects on melanocortin receptor ( MC-R ) signaling and energy balance, and are important
targets for
leptin and insulin in the hypothalamus ... Here we have examined the
effects of fasting,
leptin , and insulin on the release of
AGRP and the POMC derived peptide gamma ( 3 ) -MSH from the perifused rat hypothalamus in vitro
Crowley et al., Neuroscience 2005
:
In saline treated, SF controls, NPY and
AgRP mRNA expression in arcuate nucleus and serum ghrelin were significantly elevated, and serum
leptin and insulin were significantly
reduced
Morrison et al., Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2005
:
Leptin inhibits hypothalamic Npy and
Agrp gene expression via a mechanism that requires phosphatidylinositol 3-OH-kinase signaling ... To investigate their role in
leptin mediated inhibition of hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (Npy) and
agouti related peptide (Agrp) gene expression, male Sprague-Dawley rats ( n = 5/group ) were either fed ad libitum or subjected to a 52-h fast ... We conclude that
leptin requires intact PI3K signaling both to inhibit hypothalamic Npy and
Agrp gene expression and activate neurons within the PVN
Pourtau et al., Brain Behav Immun 2011
(Body Weight...) :
These findings indicate that blunted hypothalamic
AgRP mRNA expression, probably as a
consequence of relatively high
leptin and low ghrelin concentrations, and reduced ventral striatal prostaglandin D synthesis play a role in maintaining cancer associated anorexia
Warne et al., J Neurosci 2013
(Fatty Liver...) :
Furthermore, the suppressive effects of leptin on fasting induced hepatic steatosis are absent in mice lacking the gene encoding agouti related protein (Agrp), suggesting that this function of
leptin is
mediated by
AGRP
Tritos et al., Endocrinology 1998
(Obesity) :
In ob/ob mice,
leptin deficiency
results in increased expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY),
agouti related protein (AGRP) , and melanin concentrating hormone ( MCH ), and decreased expression of POMC
Rosenfeld et al., Biochemistry 1998
:
The hypothalamic expression of Agrp is regulated by
leptin , and overexpression of
Agrp in transgenic animals
results in obesity and diabetes
