Abstract
Clearance of trebananib (AMG 386), a 64-kD antiangiogenic peptibody, has been associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We prospectively evaluated trebananib pharmacokinetics and safety/tolerability in advanced solid tumor patients with varying degrees of renal function. Patients were assigned to normal renal function, mild, moderate, or severe renal dysfunction cohorts based on eGFR, received trebananib 15 mg/kg i.v. weekly, and underwent week 1 and week 5 pharmacokinetic and weekly safety assessments. For 28 patients, trebananib clearance decreased from normal renal function (1.52 mL/hr/kg), to mild (1.20 mL/hr/kg), moderate (0.79 mL/hr/kg), and severe (0.53 mL/hr/kg) renal dysfunction (P ≤ 0.001). Treatment-related adverse events showed no association with clearance. Trebananib clearance was proportional to eGFR and unrelated to pretreatment protein excretion. These data confirm a role for renal clearance of a recombinant peptibody with molecular weight <69 kD and support a longer dosing interval for patients with severe renal dysfunction.

Abstract
In addition to the inhibitory role of central insulin on food intake, insulin also acts to promote lard intake. We investigated the neural pathways involved in this facet of insulin action. Insulin or saline was infused into either the superior mesenteric or right external jugular veins of streptozotocin-diabetic rodents with elevated steady-state circulating corticosterone concentrations. After postsurgical recovery, rats were offered the choice of chow or lard to eat. Irrespective of the site of venous infusion, insulin increased lard and decreased chow intake. After 4 days, lard was removed for 8 h. On return for 1 h, only insulin infused into the superior mesenteric vein resulted in lard intake. This facilitated distinction between the effects of circulating insulin concentrations (similar in the two insulin-infused groups) and lard ingestion on the patterns of c-Fos(+) cells in the brain, termed insulin- and lard-associated patterns, respectively. Insulin-associated changes in c-Fos(+) cell numbers were evident in the arcuate nucleus, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and substantia nigra pars compacta, concomitant with elevated leptin levels and reduced chow intake. Lard-associated changes in c-Fos(+) cell numbers were observed in the nucleus of the tractus solitarius, lateral parabrachial nucleus, central nucleus of the amygdala, ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens shell and the prefrontal cortex, and were associated with lower levels of triglycerides and free fatty acids. The anterior paraventricular thalamic nucleus exhibited both patterns. These data collectively fit into a framework for food intake and reward and provide targets for pharmacological manipulation to influence the choice of food intake.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the pattern of neuronal activation and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in fed, food deprived and refed lean (Fa/?) and obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats. The pattern of neuronal activation was studied by measuring the expression of the immediate-early gene c-fos. Expression of c-fos and CRH mRNA was determined by in situ hybridization histochemistry. In both lean and obese rats, one hour of refeeding led to a transient increase in c-fos mRNA levels which was detected in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, the supraoptic nucleus, the paraventricular thalamic nucleus, the central nucleus of amygdala (CeA), the lateral and medial parabrachial nuclei, the nucleus of the solitary tract, and the area postrema. In addition, refeeding led to strong activation of the arginine-vasopressin neurons located in the magnocellular part of the PVH. Following 24 h of food deprivation, CRH expression in the parvocellular division of the PVH was significantly higher in obese rats compared to lean animals. During refeeding, PVH CRH mRNA levels in obese rats decreased to reach control values. The decrease in CRH expression in obese rats was accompanied by the alleviation of the hypercorticosteronemia that characterized obese Zucker rats. CRH mRNA levels in the central nucleus of the amygdala were significantly higher in lean rats than in obese animals, when the rats were fed ad libitum During food deprivation, CeA CRH mRNA levels decreased in lean rats and gradually returned to predeprivation values during refeeding. In refed obese rats, CeA levels of CRH mRNA were higher than those of ad libitum fed or food-deprived obese mutants. In the perifornical region of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), the expression of CRH mRNA rose significantly in response to refeeding in lean rats, but not in obese animals. Following the first hour of refeeding, the number of neurons expressing CRH mRNA in the LHA in lean rats almost doubled. The present results demonstrate that refeeding has a stimulating effect in obese Zucker rats in a pattern of activation similar to that seen in lean Fa/? rats. They also demonstrate differences in CRH expression between Fa/? and fa/fa rats after refeeding. The most apparent of these differences was seen in the lateral hypothalamus in which refeeding failed to up-regulate CRH expression in obese rats.

Abstract
A lesion of the subfornical organ (SFO) may disrupt drinking after a meal of dry chow as it does drinking after intragastric administration of hypertonic saline. Food and water intakes of SFO-lesioned (SFOX) and sham-lesioned rats were measured during 90-min tests following various lengths of food deprivation. During the tests, all rats began eating before they began drinking. After 20-24 h of food deprivation, latency to begin drinking after eating had started was longer for SFOX than for sham-lesioned rats. Plasma osmolality was elevated by 2-3% in both lesion groups at 12 min, the latency for sham-lesioned rats to drink, but SFOX rats nevertheless continued eating and delayed drinking. Eating after shorter 4-h food deprivations and ad libitum feeding produced more variable drinking latencies and less consistent effects of SFO lesion. During 24 h of water deprivation, SFO lesion had no effect on the suppression of food intake and did not affect food or water intakes during the first 2 h of subsequent rehydration. These findings indicate that the SFO is involved in initiating water intake during eating and in determining drinking patterns and the amount of water ingested during a meal.

Abstract
Water deprivation induces expression of the immediate early gene c-fos in specific brain regions, most likely as a result of the activation of cells that are responsive to changes in osmolality and/or blood volume. We hypothesized that the magnitude of c-fos expression would be a function of both the duration of water deprivation and the time of day at which the deprivation started. This study was designed to examine the pattern of Fos-like immunoreactivity (FLI) following water deprivation in rats under normal light/dark conditions (nLD) and reverse light/dark conditions (rLD). Rats were deprived of water but not food either for 0, 5, 16, 24 or 48 h. As expected, hematocrit ratio (HCT), osmolality (OSM), plasma renin activity (PRA) and weight loss increased as a function of duration of water deprivation. In non-deprived rats (0 h), very little FLI was observed in most brain regions. The number of cells showing FLI increased with duration of water deprivation in the supraoptic nucleus (SON), paraventricular nucleus (PVN), organum vasculosum laminae terminalis (OVLT), median preoptic nucleus (MnPO) and subfornical organ (SFO) in both nLD and rLD conditions. However, the pattern of FLI differed between nLD and rLD conditions. Compared to corresponding nLD groups after 5 or 24-h water deprivation, rLD groups had significantly more FLI in SON and PVN, and higher PRA and HCT. Also, weight loss and FLI in the MnPO were greater after 5 h, and FLI in the SFO was greater after 24 h under rLD compared to nLD conditions. Our findings indicate that the magnitude of c-fos expression, and change in weight and plasma parameters were a function of both the duration of water deprivation and the time of day at which the deprivation started. This may result from ingestion of food early in the deprivation periods during the rLD tests, thus producing greater change in osmolality and blood volume.

Abstract
A comprehensive review of the literature through mid-1997 is presented on the application of immediate early gene mapping to problems related to brain mechanisms of fluid homeostasis and cardiovascular regulation in mammals. First, the basic mechanisms of fluid intake and the principles and pitfalls of immediate early gene mapping are briefly introduced. Then, data from several principal paradigms are reviewed. These include fluid deprivation and intracellular dehydration, both of which are associated with thirst and water intake. The contributions of peripheral sodium receptors, and of both hindbrain and forebrain integrative mechanisms are evaluated. Extracellular dehydration, and associated aspects of both thirst and sodium appetite are then reviewed. The contributions of both structures along the lamina terminalis and the hypothalamic magnocellular neurosecretory groups figure prominently in most of these paradigms. Effects of hypotension and hypertension are discussed, including data from the endogenous generation and the exogenous application of angiotensin II. Lastly, we summarize the contribution of the early gene mapping technique and consider briefly the prospects for new advances using this method.
