O20 Rôle de l’Acyl-CoA Binding Protein dans le contrôle hypothalamique de la balance énergétique
Rationnel Le controle de la balance energetique repose sur la detection de signaux metaboliques incluant les acides gras a longue chaine (AGLC) par l'hypothalamus medio-basal (HMB). Les AGLC agissent dans l'HMB pour inhiber la prise alimentaire et la production de glucose, cependant les voies metaboliques et types cellulaires impliques ne sont pas connus. Acyl-CoA Binding Protein (ACBP) est une proteine intracellulaire liant les AGLC-CoA et controlant leur metabolisme en peripherie. Dans le cerveau, ACBP est connu comme Diazepam Binding Inhibitor, un peptide secrete et clive en octadecaneuropeptide (ODN). L'administration centrale d'ODN exerce une action anxiogene et anorexigene. Cependant,…
The gliotransmitter ACBP controls feeding and energy homeostasis via the melanocortin system
International audience; Glial cells have emerged as key players in the central control of energy balance and etiology of obesity. Astrocytes play a central role in neural communication via the release of gliotransmitters. Acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP)-derived endozepines are secreted peptides that modulate the GABAA receptor. In the hypothalamus, ACBP is enriched in arcuate nucleus (ARC) astrocytes, ependymocytes and tanycytes. Central administration of the endozepine octadecaneuropeptide (ODN) reduces feeding and improves glucose tolerance, yet the contribution of endogenous ACBP in energy homeostasis is unknown. We demonstrated that ACBP deletion in GFAP+ astrocytes, but not in Nkx2.1-l…
Defective insulin secretory response to intravenous glucose in C57Bl/6J compared to C57Bl/6N mice
Objective: The C57Bl/6J (Bl/6J) mouse is the most widely used strain in metabolic research. This strain carries a mutation in nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (Nnt), a mitochondrial enzyme involved in NADPH production, which has been suggested to lead to glucose intolerance and beta-cell dysfunction. However, recent reports comparing Bl/6J to Bl/6N (carrying the wild-type Nnt allele) under normal diet have led to conflicting results using glucose tolerance tests. Thus, we assessed glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), insulin sensitivity, clearance and central glucose-induced insulin secretion in Bl/6J and N mice using gold-standard methodologies. Methods: GSIS was measured u…
