A Low-Protein Diet Blocks Development of Hyperphagia and Obesity in Rats with Hypothalamic Knife Cuts

Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine the influence of dietary protein levels on development of hyperphagia and obesity in rats that had been given surgical knife cuts between the ventromedial and lateral areas of the hypothalamus. Under normal conditions, rats with this type of surgery exhibit hyperphagia and become obese when given unlimited access to dietary energy. Earlier studies indicated impaired adaptive diet-induced thermogenesis in response to excess energy intake in this animal model of obesity… Show more

“…Protein and amino acid sufficiency in the body is tightly controlled and might modulate food motivation and food choice to prevent and/or counteract protein deficiency. The underlying mechanisms involve many signals, including amino acid signaling in the brain (23,25,38,41,42) and control of energy metabolism in peripheral tissues (particularly liver, muscle, and white and brown adipose tissue).…”

“…Thus, they may signal energy demands for growth or protein metabolism. In lesioned rats, the obesity syndrome is abolished by low protein diets, suggesting a link between protein metabolism and energy ingestion (Vander Tuig and Beneke 1996). GH treatment has the same effect (Woods et al 1974).…”

“…In this connection, there is a long-felt need to develop the method of HML change measurements in the course of its satisfaction of nutritional need using weight, temporal and rate EFPB characteristics. This method will allow not only assessment of various factor effects on nutritional motivation [1,2,4], but also afford ample opportunities for investigations of eating behavior pharmacological correction [5,8].…”
