Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) elicits a potent reduction in food intake, although the central mechanism mediating this appetite-suppressive effect is not fully understood in all species. To begin to elucidate the molecular mechanisms in quail, we administered GLP-1 via intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection to 7-day-old Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) and determined effects on food and water intake, behavior, and brain nucleus activation. We observed a reduction in food and water intake, with the lowest effective dose being 0.01 nmol. Quail injected with GLP-1 displayed fewer steps, feeding pecks, exploratory pecks, and jumps, while time spent sitting increased. We quantified c-Fos immunoreactivity at 60 min post-injection in hypothalamic and brainstem nuclei that mediate food intake and determined that the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), and nucleus of the solitary tract and area postrema of the brainstem were activated in response to GLP-1. In conclusion, these results suggest that GLP-1 induces anorexigenic effects that are likely mediated at the level of the PVN and brainstem.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016760 Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-fos Cellular DNA-binding proteins encoded by the c-fos genes (GENES, FOS). They are involved in growth-related transcriptional control. c-fos combines with c-jun (PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-JUN) to form a c-fos/c-jun heterodimer (TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR AP-1) that binds to the TRE (TPA-responsive element) in promoters of certain genes.

D052216 Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 A peptide of 36 or 37 amino acids that is derived from PROGLUCAGON and mainly produced by the INTESTINAL L CELLS. GLP-1(1-37 or 1-36) is further N-terminally truncated resulting in GLP-1(7-37) or GLP-1-(7-36) which can be amidated. These GLP-1 peptides are known to enhance glucose-dependent INSULIN release, suppress GLUCAGON release and gastric emptying, lower BLOOD GLUCOSE, and reduce food intake.
