Abstract
During cancer chemotherapy, drugs such as 5-HT3 receptor antagonists have typically been used to control vomiting and anorexia. We examined the effects of oxytocin (OXT), which has been linked to appetite, on cisplatin-induced anorexia in rats. Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) expressed in the supraoptic nucleus (SON), the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), the area postrema and the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) after intraperitoneal (ip) administration of cisplatin. We also examined the fluorescence intensity of OXT-mRFP1 after ip administration of cisplatin in OXT-mRFP1 transgenic rats. The mRFP1 fluorescence intensity was significantly increased in the SON, the PVN, and the NTS after administration of cisplatin. The cisplatin-induced anorexia was abolished by OXT receptor antagonist (OXTR-A) pretreatment. In the OXT-LI cells, cisplatin-induced Fos expression in the SON and the PVN was also suppressed by OXTR-A pretreatment. These results suggested that central OXT may be involved in cisplatin-induced anorexia in rats.

Abstract
A 62-year-old man who had acute rectal obstruction due to a large rectal cancer is presented. He underwent emergency laparoscopic colostomy. We used the laparoscopic puncture needle to inject analgesia with the novel transperitoneal approach. In this procedure, both ultrasound and laparoscopic images assisted with the accurate injection of analgesic to the correct layer. The combination of laparoscopic visualization and ultrasound imaging ensured infiltration of analgesic into the correct layer without causing damage to the bowel. Twenty-four hours postoperatively, the patient’s pain intensity as assessed by the numeric rating scale was 0-1 during coughing, and a continuous intravenous analgesic was not needed. Colostomy is often necessary in colon obstruction. Epidural anesthesia for postoperative pain cannot be used in patients with a coagulation disorder. We report the use of a novel laparoscopic rectus sheath block for colostomy. There has been no literature described about the nerve block with transperitoneal approach. The laparoscopic rectus sheath block was performed safely and had enough analgesic efficacy for postoperative pain. This technique could be considered as an optional anesthetic regimen in acute situations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A laparoscopic approach for inguinal hernia repair is now considered the gold standard. Laparoscopic surgery is associated with a significant reduction in postoperative pain. Epidural analgesia cannot be used in patients with perioperative anticoagulant therapy because of complications such as epidural hematoma. As such, regional anesthetic techniques, such as ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block and transversus abdominis plane block, have become increasingly popular. However, even these anesthetic techniques have potential complications, such as rectus sheath hematoma, if vessels are damaged. We report the use of a transperitoneal laparoscopic approach for rectus sheath block and transversus abdominis plane block as a novel anesthetic procedure. MATERIAL AND SURGICAL TECHNIQUE An 81-year-old woman with direct inguinal hernia underwent laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal repair. Epidural anesthesia was not performed because anticoagulant therapy was administered. A Peti-needle™ was delivered through the port, and levobupivacaine was injected though the peritoneum. Surgery was performed successfully, and the anesthetic technique did not affect completion of the operative procedure. The patient was discharged without any complications. DISCUSSION This technique was feasible, and the procedure was performed safely. Our novel analgesia technique has potential use as a standard postoperative regimen in various laparoscopic surgeries. Additional prospective studies to compare it with other techniques are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the laparoscopic approach reduces pain associated with abdominal surgery, postoperative pain remains a problem. Ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block and transversus abdominis plane block have become increasingly popular means of providing analgesia for laparoscopic surgery. METHODS Ninety patients were enrolled in this study. A laparoscopic puncture needle was inserted via the port, and levobupivacaine was injected into the correct plane through the peritoneum. The patients' postoperative pain intensity was assessed using a numeric rating scale. The effects of laparoscopic nerve block versus percutaneous anesthesia were compared. RESULTS This novel form of transperitoneal anesthesia did not jeopardize completion of the operative procedures. The percutaneous approach required more time for performance of the procedure than the transperitoneal technique. CONCLUSION This new analgesia technique can become an optional postoperative treatment regimen for various laparoscopic abdominal surgeries. What we mainly want to suggest is that the transperitoneal approach has the advantage of a higher completion rate. A percutaneous technique is sometimes difficult with patients who have severe obesity and/or coagulation disorders. Additional studies are required to evaluate its benefits.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The presence of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt has been considered to be a contraindication for laparoscopic surgery till date; however, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was recently reported as safe for patients with this shunt. PRESENTATION OF CASE We present the first case, to the best of our knowledge, of laparoscopic colectomy for cecal cancer in a patient with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. A 59-year-old woman with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for hydrocephalus was referred to our hospital with cecal cancer. Laparoscopic cecal cancer resection was performed successfully and uneventfully by manipulating the shunt. DISCUSSION Clamping of the shunt catheter at the subcutaneous region was performed before insufflation of carbon dioxide to prevent adverse effects from the pneumoperitoneum. CONCLUSION We believe that laparoscopic colectomy for colon cancer can be performed safely in patients with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt by optimal manipulation of the shunt.

Abstract
The gene for the beta-chain of the high-affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon RI beta) has been proposed as a candidate gene for atopy. A coding variant Glu237Gly has been studied in various populations with asthma and atopy, and the results were controversial for association of the variant with atopy/asthma. Because nasal allergy is a more common atopic disease and shows less remission than asthma, we analyzed whether the Glu237Gly variant is correlated with nasal allergy. The study enrolled 233 patients with nasal allergy and 100 control subjects. Further, three subgroups were selected: patients with perennial nasal allergy (n=149), Japanese cedar pollinosis (n=189), and allergy to multiple allergens (n=45). The allele frequency of Gly237 in the controls and patients was 0.14 and 0.20, and the frequency of Gly237-positive subjects was 0.23 and 0.356, respectively. There was a significant association between Gly237-positivity and nasal allergy, perennial nasal allergy, Japanese cedar pollinosis, and allergy to multiple allergens. Among all 333 subjects we observed a significant relationship between Gly237 and elevated levels of serum total IgE (>250 IU/ml) and very high IgE (>1000 IU/ml). Among patients positive for a specific IgE, Gly237 was significantly associated with high IgE for house dust, mite, and Japanese cedar pollen. These results suggest that the Glu237Gly variant of the Fc epsilon RI beta gene is involved in the development of nasal allergy through the process for the production of both specific and nonspecific IgE antibodies.

Abstract
The transgenic expression of a toxin gene or a thymidine kinase gene under the control of cell type-specific promoter/enhancer has been shown to be useful for removing a specific cell population in mice. However, this approach requires extensive analysis of the control elements for gene expression in the preparation of the transgenic constructs, and furthermore, the toxin gene might be expressed ectopically because of random integration, resulting in aberrant depletion of unrelated cells. To avoid such difficulties with the transgenic approach, we established a method for the specific depletion of a cell population by replacing a uniquely expressed gene in the population with the diphtheria toxin gene by using homologous recombination. The NKR-P1 gene, a specific cell surface marker of natural killer (NK) cells, was selected as the target gene for depleting NK cells. In chimeric mice reconstituted with embryonic stem cells in which the NKR-P1 gene was replaced by the toxin gene, NKR-P1(+) cells were almost completely depleted, and NK cell function was abrogated in the embryonic stem cell-derived lymphoid cells. Other cell lineages developed normally. These results show that all NK cells express NKR-P1, that NKR-P1(+) cells do not influence the development of T and B cells, and further, that this technology of cell targeting is a fast and powerful method of generating mice lacking any chosen cell population.

Abstract
A 69-year-old Japanese female was admitted because of general fatigue. Laboratory data showed elevation of serum total bilirubin, transaminase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and creatinine levels. An immunological study revealed hypergammaglobulinemia, low titer of complement, and high titers of antinuclear antibody, anti-DNA antibody, and circulating immune complexes. Antibodies to parainfluenza virus 3 were positive. Histology of the liver disclosed numerous giant cell hepatocyte transformations with the lobular architecture being slightly distorted by portal inflammation and fibrosis. These findings led us to make a diagnosis of giant cell hepatitis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. Prednisolone was effective in improving the anemia and the serum immunoglobulin, immune complex, and antinuclear antibody levels. The addition of cyclosporine to the initial corticosteroid therapy was also beneficial in decreasing the transaminase level and in improving liver histology. The patient died of acute pneumonitis and renal failure on the 166th day after admission. Parainfluenza virus 3 and autoimmune mechanisms were thus considered to be the causes of the giant cell hepatitis.

Abstract
We present two cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) associated with both Basedow's disease and fatty liver. The first case is a 46-year-old Japanese female who was admitted because of high fever and general fatigue. She had been diagnosed as having Basedow's disease and treated with thiamazole for over 4 years. Since thiamazole-induced lupus was unlikely because of high titer anti-nuclear antibody and anti-DNA antibody and low levels of complements, a diagnosis of SLE was made. The upper abdominal ultrasound study and the specimen obtained by liver biopsy performed before initiating steroid therapy demonstrated marked fatty liver. SLE itself is considered as an etiology of fatty liver in this case. The second case was a 25-year-old Japanese female with SLE. She had been treated with prednisolone for 13 years and was complicated with Basedow's disease 10 years later. Fatty liver was also demonstrated in this patient on ultrasonography, and was thought to be resulted from long-term steroid hormone administration.

Abstract
A case of retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with scirrhous gastric cancer is reported. A sixty two-year-old Japanese female was admitted because of acute renal failure. The patient's serum creatinine level showed 3.2 mg/dl while the blood urea nitrogen level was 23 mg/dl. An ultrasound study of the upper abdomen revealed bilateral hydronephrosis. Drip infusion pyelography revealed a dilated right renal pelvis without ureteral obstruction. The left kidney was not opacified, suggesting a functional disorder. Gastrography and gastrofiberscopy revealed scirrhous gastric cancer. Signet ring cell carcinoma was later demonstrated histologically by biopsy specimens. CT demonstrated a prominent thickening of the gastric wall and hydronephrosis, although no prevertebral soft tissue masses were observed. A total gastrectomy was performed with failure to surgically decompress the ureters because fibrous plaque had firmly enveloped the retroperitoneal structures. Biopsy specimens of the retroperitoneum revealed an invasion of the tumor cells and prominent fibrosis. As an etiology of renal failure, ureteral stenosis resulting from secondary retroperitoneal fibrosis was also considered.

Abstract
We present a successfully treated case of a multi-septated massive hepatic cyst with repeated injection of minocycline hydrochloride (MINO). A 57-year-old Japanese female complaining of right back pain, hypochondralgia and hypertension had a multi-septated massive hepatic cyst, 25 cm in diameter. Multiple cysts of various sizes were also seen in liver and kidneys. In order to reduce the size of the massive hepatic cyst to relieve the complaints, we performed the reduction therapy of the cyst. After a pig tail catheter was inserted into the cyst, the cystic fluid was aspirated and then a total of 3900 mg of MINO was injected. Red-brownish, serous cystic fluids were obtained. Cytology and bacterial culture were negative, but the LDH (3, 336 IU/l) and CA19-9 (751,500 U/l) concentrations were very high. After the 9 series of the therapy, the cyst was minified on CT and the patient's symptoms were relieved. Furthermore high blood pressure was improved. Thus, the therapy of size-reduction for a massive hepatic cyst is revealed to be very safe and useful.

Abstract
It has previously been established that norepinephrine (NE) in the central nervous system is involved in feeding and the development of obesity. The present experiments were carried out to investigate the relationship between the uptake of NE by a crude hypothalamic homogenate and NE-mediated sympathetic activity in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT). Sympathetic nervous system activity was assessed by measuring the binding of the purine nucleotide guanosine-5'-diphosphate (GDP) to mitochondria isolated from IBAT. Four situations known to alter food intake and sympathetic activity, namely, corticotropin releasing factor infusion, adrenalectomy, fenfluramine treatment and obesity due to genetic transmission were studied. In each case, [3H]NE uptake by the hypothalamic preparation and GDP binding to IBAT mitochondria were measured. A highly significant negative correlation between the uptake of NE by hypothalamic homogenates and the binding of GDP to IBAT mitochondria was obtained in both lean and obese animals. These findings are discussed with regard to the regulation of food intake and sympathetic nervous system mediated thermogenesis.

Abstract
Three experiments have examined the effects of ad lib and forced intake of a high-fat diet on sympathetic firing rate to brown adipose tissue. Seven days after beginning of ad lib intake of either a low-fat or high-fat diet, sympathetic activity was not significantly different in either group nor was it significantly different from the values obtained in animals measured at the switch from the chow to a semisynthetic high- or low-fat diet. After 22 days on the semisynthetic diet, however, the sympathetic firing rate of animals eating the high-fat diet had decreased nearly 25% and was significantly lower than the animals maintained on the semisynthetic low-fat diet or animals studied at the transition from the chow to the low-fat diet. In a second experiment animals were tube-fed for 3, 6 or 9 weeks on a high- or low-fat diet. Sympathetic firing rate of the rats eating the low-fat diet was higher at all three times, but the difference decreased with longer feeding. To eliminate differences in food intake, animals were tube-fed a moderate- or high-fat liquid diet three times a day for six days. The 80 kcal/day intake produced a steady weight gain in both groups. Liver weight, retroperitoneal white adipose tissue weight, and interscapular brown adipose tissue weight were all significantly greater in the animals fed the high-fat diet. Sympathetic firing rate, however, was significantly lower in the animals fed the high-fat semisynthetic diet as compared to animals fed the moderate-fat diet. These data show the high-fat diets are associated with a reduction in sympathetic activity to brown adipose tissue.

Abstract
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) has been administered into the third ventricle of sham-operated and ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH)-lesioned rats in acute and chronic experiments. After a single 5-microgram injection of CRF, there was an acute reduction of food intake in both sham-operated and VMH-lesioned rats that persisted for 3 h. The effect was still present in the VMH-lesioned rats between 3 and 6 h but had dissipated in the sham-operated controls. Guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP) binding to mitochondria from interscapular brown adipose tissue was used as an index of thermogenic activity in this tissue. In 21-h food-deprived rats, GDP binding was significantly lower in VMH-lesioned than in sham-operated animals. Although the mean increase in sham-operated animals was increased, this was not significantly different from saline-injected controls. In the VMH-lesioned rats, however, CRF acutely increased GDP binding to values not different than those of the sham-operated controls. Serum corticosterone was significantly lower in the VMH-lesioned rats, but both groups showed a significant stimulation by CRF during a 7-day infusion of CRF (4.8 micrograms/day) into the third ventricle. Food intake was significantly depressed in the VMH-lesioned animals that received CRF, from values of 35 g/day to approximately 25 g/day. Body weight showed a slow steady decrease, having fallen by nearly 15 g at the end of the 7-day infusion period. In contrast the mean value in the VMH-lesioned controls had significantly higher in CRF-infused animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) has been administered into the third ventricle of lean and genetically obese Zucker fatty rats in both acute and chronic experiments. Following a single injection of CRF (5 micrograms or approximately 1 nmole) there was an acute reduction of food intake in both the lean and obese animals, but the effect was greater in the obese. This effect persisted for the first three hours but was no longer detectable in either lean or genetically obese animals at 6 hours. Binding of GDP to mitochondria from interscapular brown adipose tissue in 21-hour deprived animals was lower in the fatty rats than in the lean controls. The injection of CRF significantly increased GDP binding in both the lean and fatty rats. During chronic infusion of CRF into the third ventricle of fatty rats, there was a significant decrease in food intake in the obese rats and fall of body weight in both groups. The basal levels of GDP binding were significantly lower in the saline-infused fatty rats than in the saline-infused lean controls. The chronic infusion of CRF increased GDP binding in the fatty rats but not in the lean animals. The CRF-treated values for GDP binding in fatty rats however, remained significantly below the baseline values in the control animals. Chronic CRF infusion also significantly lowered glucose levels in the fatty rat. These studies are consistent with the hypothesis that CRF may be involved in the decreased food intake and increased sympathetic activity observed in genetically obese fatty rats following adrenalectomy.

Abstract
Three experiments have examined the interaction of adrenalectomy and fenfluramine on food intake, body weight and the binding of guanosine-5'-diphosphate (GDP) to interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT). In the first experiment, GDP-binding by IBAT mitochondria from adrenalectomized or sham-operated animals was measured for 3 hr after one of 3 doses of fenfluramine. Fenfluramine stimulated GDP-binding at lower doses in the adrenalectomized animals than in the controls. In the first chronic experiment, adrenalectomy prevented the restoration of normal food intake observed 8-10 days after the beginning of fenfluramine treatment. Adrenalectomy also increased weight loss and enhanced GDP binding to mitochondria from IBAT in rats treated with fenfluramine. In the second chronic experiment, the combination of fenfluramine and adrenalectomy led to a progressive weight loss, continuing hypophagia and stimulation of GDP-binding by IBAT, whereas rats treated with fenfluramine alone showed a recovery of food intake at a stabilized but lower body weight. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that adrenalectomy and fenfluramine disable two separate components of the food intake system and that when combined, produce a profound and persisting disturbance in energy or nutrient balance.

Abstract
Stereospecificity of 3,4-dihydroxybutanoic acid gamma-lactone (3,4-DB) and 2,4,5-trihydroxypentanoic acid gamma-lactone (2,4,5-TP) in their effects on feeding behavior and humoral factors was assessed by infusion into the rat third cerebroventricle. Initial transient food intake was most potently affected by infusion of 2.50 mumol of the 2S,4S-stereoisomer of 2,4,5-TP (80%) at 1100 h. Among the others, 2.50 mumol of the 2R,4S-isomer was somewhat potent in feeding elicitation (20%). Feeding induced by these isomers was not accompanied by periprandial drinking. Ambulation increased with elicitation of feeding. During the first dark period after infusion at 1940 h, 2.50 mumol of the 3S-isomer of 3,4-DB decreased food intake, including reduced meal size, and prolonged postprandial intermeal interval, but the 3R-isomer did not. Potent hypoglycemia with hyperinsulinemia was caused by the 2S,4S-isomer of 2,4,5-TP, and the S-isomer of 3,4-DB caused responses that were reciprocal to those to 2,4,5-TP. The remaining isomers did not affect feeding or humoral factors. The results suggest that the S- or S,S-stereo-isomer of the endogenous organic acid gamma-lactones may be important in modulating food intake through the hypothalamus.

Abstract
We examined the effect of dietary fat on the response to 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) and insulin infused chronically into the third ventricle in three strains of rats with differing susceptibility to obesity induced by a high-fat diet: Osborne-Mendel rats are most susceptible; Sprague-Dawley-rats are intermediate; and S 5B/Pl rats are most resistant. Ten days after implantation of cannulas into the third ventricle, rats were fed either a low-fat diet or a high-fat diet for 14 days. On day 7, osmotic minipumps were attached to the ventricular cannulas. 3-OHB infusions (3.6 mumol/24 h) reduced food intake and body weight in Sprague-Dawley and Osborne-Mendel rats eating either diet. The dietary fat-resistant S 5B/Pl rats did not respond to the intracerebroventricular infusion of 3-OHB. The infusion of insulin (10 mU/24 h) lowered food intake and body weight in animals eating the low-fat (high-carbohydrate) diet but not in animals eating the high-fat diet. Diet profoundly affects the response to intracerebroventricular infusions of insulin but is without effect on the response to 3-OHB.

Abstract
Structural specificity among short-chain organic acids for effects on feeding behavior, blood glucose and insulin was investigated by infusion of 1 exogenous and 6 endogenous derivatives into the rat third cerebral ventricle. Glyceric acid (GEA) (1.0 mumol), 3,4-dihydroxybutanoic acid gamma-lactone (3,4-DB) and 3,4,5-trihydroxypentanoic acid gamma-lactone (3,4,5-TP) (2.50 mumol) decreased food intake for, at most, 24 h. These acids depressed the size of the first meal after infusion, but did not affect latency to the first meal, eating speed, drinking or ambulation. Infusion of 2,4-dihydroxybutanoic acid gamma-lactone (2,4-DB) (1.25 mumol), 2,4,5-trihydroxypentanoic acid gamma-lactone (2,4,5-TP), and an exogenous compound, 2,4,5,6-tetrahydroxyhexanoic acid gamma-lactone (2,4,5,6-TH) (2.50 mumol), induced transient initial feeding which was not necessarily accompanied by periprandial drinking. Ambulation was concomitantly increased. Of these organic acids, 3,4-DB and 2,4,5-TP were most potent in their effects on feeding. Hyperglycemia was induced by 2.50 mumol 3,4-DB leaving insulin unaffected; 2.50 mumol 2,4,5-TP caused hypoglycemia, with a persistent but not significant rise in insulin. The results suggest that slight structural differences of endogenous organic acids, in particular the positions of hydroxyl groups on the lactone ring of 4-butanolide, may be important in feeding modulation by conveying intrinsically reciprocal signals to neurons involved in feeding and satiety.

Abstract
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) has been administered into the third ventricle of rats in acute and chronic experiments. Following a single 5-micrograms injection of CRF, there was an acute reduction in food intake at 30 and 60 min that was no longer significant at 3 h. Guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP) binding to mitochondria from interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) of 21-h deprived rats was significantly increased 30 min after the acute infusion of 5 micrograms of CRF. Serum corticosterone was elevated in both groups but was significantly higher in the group treated with CRF. Serum glucose was unchanged. During a 7-day infusion of CRF (4.8 micrograms/day) into the third ventricle, the treated animals showed a slight, but significant, decrease in food intake but a progressive decline in body weight of 53 g over 7 days. Mitochondrial GDP binding was increased in the ad libitum-fed rats chronically treated with CRF. Serum corticosterone levels, although significantly higher than controls, were lower than following acute administration of CRF. These data show that CRF can acutely reduce food intake and increase sympathetic activity and that chronically it reduces body weight and may increase sympathetic activity without any consistent decrease in food intake.

Abstract
Following the microinjection of 3-hydroxybutyrate into either the paraventricular or ventomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus, there was a significant increase in firing rate of the sympathetic nerves to brown adipose tissue, with a peak increase in activity occurring three minutes following the injection. The response in both hypothalamic regions was dose-dependent. When injected into both regions at the same time, the increase in firing rate was additive. These studies suggest that ketone bodies in the central nervous system may activate the sympathetic nervous system.

Abstract
These studies have examined the effect of fasting and nutrient loads on sympathetic firing rate in three groups of rats that develop widely divergent degrees of obesity when eating a high-fat diet. Starvation of Sprague-Dawley rats for 24 or 48 h was associated with a decrease in basal sympathetic activity of nearly 25% in the first 24 h and of slightly greater than 30% in 48 h. This decline in sympathetic activity paralleled the loss of body weight and reduction in adipose tissue mass. After starvation for 48 h, Osborne-Mendel rats, which readily develop obesity when eating a high-fat diet, showed a greater decrease in basal sympathetic activity than did the diet-resistant S 5B/P1 rats. A single liquid 36-kcal intragastric meal was associated with an acute 30% increase in sympathetic firing rate in the overnight-fasted Sprague-Dawley rats. The values 3 h after the meal had returned halfway to normal, and by 6 h they were more than 85% of the way to normal. An intravenous injection of glucose produced a greater rise in sympathetic activity in diet-resistant S 5B/P1 rats than in the diet-sensitive Osborne-Mendel rats. These data are consistent with the hypotheses that sympathetic activity is positively related to nutrient status, that it varies between strains of rats, and that it can be acutely increased by an intragastric meal or by intravenous glucose.

Abstract
The effects of acute and chronic treatment with fenfluramine have been explored in two experiments. Three and twenty-four hours following the injection of fenfluramine 20 mg/kg the firing rate of sympathetic efferent nerves to brown adipose tissue was significantly increased compared to sham injected controls. Body weight loss following acute treatment with fenfluramine was significantly greater at three and twenty-four hours than in the vehicle-treated controls. In the chronic experiment animals were treated once daily for 12 days with 20 mg/kg of fenfluramine. There were two control groups. One control group ate ad lib and a second control group was pair fed to maintain body weight comparable to that of the fenfluramine-treated animals. By the twelfth day food intake in the fenfluramine-treated animals had returned to control levels. Sympathetic firing rate after three days of treatment with fenfluramine was significantly higher in the treated animals than in ad lib fed controls. The ad lib fed controls were likewise significantly higher than the vehicle-treated, pair-gained controls. After 12 days of treatment fenfluramine treated animals had sympathetic firing rates which were still slightly but significantly higher than those of the vehicle-treated controls whereas the vehicle-treated, pair-gained animals had a small but significantly reduced firing rate. These data support the hypothesis that fenfluramine can increase peripheral sympathetic activity.

Injection of this analogue into the rat third cerebroventricle attenuated the feeding suppression produced by 1-deoxyglucose. In contrast, the replacement of a hydroxyl group at carbon 2 with an amino group produced anorexia of the same magnitude as that produced by 1-deoxyglucose. Amination at carbon 2 was more potent than that at carbon 3, 4 or 6. These results indicate that an amino group at carbon 2 of the glucose molecule is important to reinforce the feeding suppression caused by 1-deoxyglucose analogues.

Abstract
Following ventromedial hypothalamic lesions, food intake increased from 60 to slightly more than 77 kcal/day during the first 6 days. Body weight increased and sympathetic activity, as measured by the electrical firing rate of efferent nerves to interscapular brown adipose tissue, decreased significantly. During a 6-day period of intragastric overfeeding in which animals with hypothalamic lesions received 60 kcal for the first day and 80 kcal for the remaining 5 days, the VMH-lesioned animals gained significantly more weight than the intact, sham-lesioned controls. This difference in weight gain was paralleled by the increased weight of liver and white adipose tissue. The lesioned animals showed a highly significant reduction in sympathetic activity compared to the normal or slightly increased values observed in the sham-lesioned animals. These studies are consistent with the hypothesis that food-induced increases in sympathetic activity are modulated by the ventromedial hypothalamus.

Abstract
An amidated peptide derived from cleavage of the C-terminal of prepro-GRF [prepro-GRF-(78-107)NH2] and designated CTPG or anorectin was injected ip and into the third ventricle of rats, and food intake and body weight were measured. An acute injection of 0.2, 0.5, or 1.0 microgram CTPG (anorectin; 60, 150, or 300 pmol) into the third ventricle produced a significant dose-related reduction in food intake in the hungry rat during the 12-h dark period. Water intake was suppressed 30% by 1.0 microgram (300 pmol), but the lower doses had no effect. The highest dose (1 microgram or 300 pmol) produced a small rise in glucose concentration 5 min after injection into the third ventricle, which returned to the control value by 15 min. Anorectin increased the sympathetic efferent firing rate 3, 6, and 24 h after a single injection. Intraperitoneal injection of 2.0, 5.0, and 20 micrograms, however, had no significant effect on food or water intake. Chronic infusion into the third ventricle at a rate of 50 ng/h for 7 days produced a persistent reduction in food intake and a steady fall in body weight. The chronically infused rats had a significantly higher level of sympathetic activity, as measured by the firing rate of sympathetic nerves innervating the interscapular brown adipose tissue. These studies raise the possibility that anorectin released during processing of GRF might be involved in the modulation of feeding behavior.

Abstract
The firing rate of efferent sympathetic nerves to brown adipose tissue was measured on 18 h or 18 d following lateral hypothalamic lesions (LH). Eighteen hours following acute lateral hypothalamic lesions, sympathetic firing rate was significantly increased. Following chronic LH lesions there was a decrease in food intake and a fall in body weight which had stabilized by four days. Eleven days after surgery a group of control animals were food restricted and subsequently pair fed twice daily to maintain a body weight comparable to that of the LH lesioned animals. Food intake was lower in the pair-gained animals on all but one day of the experiment. When studied 18 days following LH lesions, sympathetic firing rates were significantly higher than in either the ad lib or pair-fed controls. Sympathetic firing rate in pair fed rats, on the other hand, was significantly lower than in the sham lesioned rats. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that the LH lesion removes an inhibitory control over sympathetic firing rate both acutely and in chronically lesioned animals and that this increased sympathetic firing rate may play an important role in the maintenance of a lower body weight.

Abstract
The effects on food intake, blood glucose and the binding of guanosine 5-diphosphate (GDP) to mitochondria from interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) were examined following the injection of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG) into the third ventricle of the brain. Microinjections of 2-DOG increased food intake and blood glucose within 30 to 60 min, but binding of GDP to mitochondria from IBAT, on the other hand, was reduced. The order of sensitivity to 2-DOG was IBAT--feeding--hyperglycemia. Implantation of a 50 mg pellet of corticosterone inhibited the stimulatory effect of 2-DOG on feeding and hyperglycemia and prevented the inhibition of GDP binding to mitochondria from IBAT. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that glucocorticoid may inhibit glucose metabolism at multiple sites in the hypothalamus.

Abstract
Hypophagia induced by 3,4-dihydroxybutanoic acid (2-deoxytetronic acid, 2-DTA), an endogenous short-chain polyhydroxymonocarboxylic acid, was investigated in rats. Intraperitoneal injection of 2500 mumol 2-DTA did not suppress feeding, but 2.5 mumol 2-DTA injected into the third cerebroventricle did. To efficiently transport exogenous 2-DTA into the brain, its encapsulation and delivery in specially made sulfatide liposomes was attempted. Feeding was suppressed dose-dependently by intraperitoneally injected 2-DTA in liposomes. Injection of 2500 mumol 2-DTA into the common carotid artery also suppressed feeding. Administration by either route prolonged postprandial intermeal interval with no change in meal size, as was observed after central administration of 2-DTA. Injection of 2.5 mumol 2-DTA into the third cerebroventricle elevated plasma glucose level, leaving insulin and free fatty acids unaffected. These findings, together with previous results, indicate that at least one site for the physiological action of 2-DTA is in the hypothalamic centers for food intake.

Abstract
D-glucosamine, 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose, is known to be an endogenous glucose analogue and to antagonize glucose uptake and metabolism. The present experiments were aimed to clarify effects of glucosamine and related chemical substances on ingestive behavior, as well as its direct effects on hypothalamic neurons. Infusion of 24 mumole glucosamine into the third cerebroventricle induced feeding within 30 min in 5 rats out of 7 tested, accompanied by increased ambulatory activity. No periprandial drinking was observed. Plasma glucose level increased, peaking at 30 min after the injection. Plasma insulin level tended to increase, but not significantly. Electrophoretic application of glucosamine activated glucose-sensitive neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and suppressed glucoreceptors in the ventromedial hypothalamus. These facts, together with other reported results, suggest that glucosamine can modulate physiological feeding and that carbon 2 of the glucose molecule is important in feeding modulation by glucose analogues.

Abstract
The deoxy analogues of D-glucose, 1-deoxy-D-glucosamine and D-glucosamine, are biochemically and structurally similar to 1-deoxy-D-glucose, so their direct effects on food intake were studied. Both 12 and 24 mumol 1-deoxy-glucosamine potently decreased feeding and body weight after an initial transient elicitation of food intake. The suppression included decreased meal size and prolonged postprandial intermeal interval which persisted for at least 3 days after injection. Ambulatory activity was unaffected. The initial elicitation of feeding was not accompanied by drinking episodes, and subsequent drinking suppression was persisted. These findings, plus other biochemical evidence, suggest that inversion with an amino group or removal of a hydroxyl group from C-2 and/or C-1 may affect feeding.

Abstract
In previous studies, 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (1-DG), an endogenous glucose analog, was found to significantly influence physiological feeding behavior. The relationships between the hydroxyl group positions on the pyranose ring carbons and the anorectic action induced by 1-DG and its analogs are discussed. To investigate the effects of these glucose analogs on ingestive behavior, 24 mumole of test solution was injected into the rat third cerebral ventricle immediately before normal eating time, which starts at the beginning of the dark. After initial transient hyperphagia, 1-DG suppressed feeding during the first 12-hr dark period. It prolonged postprandial intermeal interval beginning shortly after injection, but eating rate was not affected and meal size did not decrease until near the end of the normal feeding period. The incidence of drinking episodes decreased concomitant with feeding suppression. Feeding and drinking suppression were also produced by 1,2-dideoxy-D-glucose, 1,3-dideoxy-D-glucose, and 1,4-dideoxy-D-glucose, although they were less potent than 1-DG. They suppressed feeding by prolonging the postprandial intermeal interval, but did not change meal size or eating rate. The anorectic effects of 1-DG were abolished by removal of the hydroxyl group at carbon 6 and by epimerization at carbons 2, 3, and 4. These findings indicate that feeding suppression induced by 1-DG and its analogs is induced mainly by prolongation of the postprandial intermeal interval, and the presence or absence of a hydroxyl group on each carbon of 1-DG is important for its feeding suppression.

Abstract
In order to clarify the effects of endogenous organic acids on short and long-term feeding behavior, ingestive behavior was monitored for 2 hr before and after intra-third ventricular infusions of 3,4-dihydroxybutyric acid (2-deoxytetronic acid, 2-DTA), 2,4,5-trihydroxypentanoic acid (3-deoxypentonic acid, 3-DPA), and 3-hydroxybutyric acid (3-HBA). In addition, meal patterns were recorded for 2 days before and after the ventricular infusions. 2-DTA suppressed both short and long-term feeding by decreasing meal size (MS). 3-DPA elicited transient feeding behavior, but caused no change in long-term feeding. 3-HBA initially stimulated feeding, but subsequently suppressed long-term feeding by decreasing MS and prolonging postprandial intermeal interval (IMI). The suppressive effects of 3-HBA on feeding behavior lasted about 24 hr longer than those of 2-DTA. Based upon these observations as well as our previous reports, it appears that some of the processes affecting hunger and satiation are mediated by changes in central and peripheral concentrations of these organic acids.

Abstract
In order to ascertain direct central anorectic actions of mazindol (MZD), subtle changes in meal patterns and endogenous feeding related chemical substances were examined in rats following intra-third ventricle injection of 0.03 mumole MZD. In ad lib feeding, MZD decreased meal size and prolonged postprandial intermeal interval during a 4 hr period starting 2 hr after injection. The magnitude of anorectic actions of MZD was depressed by hunger. Although the action of MZD is short in duration, long duration anorexia was achieved by chronic infusion for 8 days. Infusion of MZD starting at 5:50 p.m. decreased plasma insulin, leaving glucose and glucagon unaffected, although no change in plasma glucose or insulin was observed following injection at 11:30 a.m. These findings, together with other reports, can be explained by MZD's direct effects on the hypothalamic hunger and satiation centers.

Abstract
To clarify suppressive effects of mazindol on food intake in rats, changes in body weight, meal patterns as well as 24-hr food intake, and endogenous chemical substances were investigated following the intra-ventricle III infusion of 0.03 mumole mazindol. Experiments were carried out under the condition of a 12: 12 light-dark cycle (light: 0800-2000 hr). Mazindol decreased food intake as well as body weight after a 12 hr starvation. Reduced food consumption was observed during 12 hr following the injection. Weight reduction, however, lasted over all 3-tested days. When food was available ad. lib., mazindol decreased meal size during the 4 hr after injection and prolonged postprandial intermeal interval during the 4 hr period starting 2 hr after the injection. The infusion of mazindol also produced relative hyperglycemia and decreased free fatty acids, which was not accompanied with hyperinsulinemia. These findings, together with other reports, indicates that mazindol, unlike amphetamine and fenfluramine, possesses inhibitory actions on the hypothalamic feeding center.
