Injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 3 microg) into the lateral ventricle elicited anorexia with fever and also decreased body weight in rats. The LPS-induced anorexia was inhibited by intracerebroventicular (i.c.v.) injections of anti-interleukin (IL)-1beta antibody (Ab), chelerythrine, genistein and tyrphostin 46, but not by injections of indomethacin. Consecutive injections of orthovanadate and LPS (0.3 microg, a dose of LPS that did not show any effect on food intake, body weight or body temperature) reduced body weight, but did not induce anorexia. On the other hand, injections of IL-1beta (50 ng) did not influence food intake, although they decreased body weight and produced fever. The IL-1beta-induced decrease in body weight was inhibited by injections of genistein, but not by injections of chelerythrine or indomethacin. These findings suggest that the LPS-induced anorexia is independent of hyperthermia and involves IL-1beta generation, tyrosine kinase (TK) and protein kinase C (PKC). This is the first in vivo evidence that activation of TK and PKC induced by LPS is linked to anorexia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007213 Indomethacin A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
D007276 Injections, Intraventricular Injections into the cerebral ventricles. Intraventricular Injections,Injection, Intraventricular,Intraventricular Injection
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
D008297 Male Males
D011453 Prostaglandins A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes. Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
