摘要

Sir — OB protein (leptin) is a circulating signal linking fat mass to the brain control of energy balance. Administration of OB protein to the brain induces long-last-ing reductions in food intake and body weight of obese ob/ob mice. This striking finding, together with the observation that the circulating OB protein concentration is proportional to body fat in humans, has stimulated research on the brain mechanisms involved in OB protein action. The inhibitory effects of OB protein on neuropeptide Y gene expression and secretion have led to the proposal that neuropeptide Y, a potent stimulator of feeding, is the major mediator of the actions of OB protein. To test this hypothesis, we examined the interaction of brain administration of OB protein and neuropeptide Y on the feeding behaviour of ob/ob mice. We found that OB protein inhibits the expected feeding following administration of neuropeptide Y. This result indicates that OB protein can functionally antagonize the actions of exogenous neuropeptide Y and suggests that the receptor-mediated actions of this neuropeptide on feeding are under the control of OB protein.
