We found that prostaglandin (PG) D(2), the most abundant PG in the central nervous system, stimulates food intake after intracerebroventricular administration in mice. The orexigenic effect of PGD(2) was mimicked by a selective agonist for the DP(1) receptor among two receptor subtypes for PGD(2), and abolished by its antagonist. Central administration of an antagonist or antisense oligodeoxynucleotide for the DP(1) receptor remarkably decreased food intake, body weight and fat mass. Hypothalamic mRNA levels of lipocalin-type PGD synthase were up-regulated after fasting. The orexigenic activity of PGD(2) was also abolished by an antagonist for neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y(1) receptor. Taken together, PGD(2) may stimulate food intake through central DP(1) receptor coupled to the NPY system.

D009478 Neuropeptide Y A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones.

D011982 Receptors, Prostaglandin Cell surface receptors that bind prostaglandins with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Prostaglandin receptor subtypes have been tentatively named according to their relative affinities for the endogenous prostaglandins. They include those which prefer prostaglandin D2 (DP receptors), prostaglandin E2 (EP1, EP2, and EP3 receptors), prostaglandin F2-alpha (FP receptors), and prostacyclin (IP receptors).
