Abstract:
:Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) influences feeding behavior in the goldfish and exerts an anorexigenic action in goldfish brain, unlike its orexigenic action in mammals. Despite a growing body of knowledge concerning MCH function in mammals, the role of MCH in appetite has not yet been well studied in fish. The aim of the present study was to investigate the involvement of endogenous MCH in the feeding behavior of the goldfish. We examined the distribution of MCH-like immunoreactivity (MCH-LI) in the goldfish brain and the effect of feeding status upon this distribution. Neuronal cell bodies containing MCH-LI were localized specifically to four areas of the hypothalamus. Nerve fibers with MCH-LI were found mainly in the neurohypophysis, with a few in the telencephalon, mesencephalon, and diencephalon. The number of neuronal cell bodies containing MCH-LI in the dorsal area adjoining the lateral recess of the third ventricle in the posterior and inferior lobes of the hypothalamus showed a significant decrease in fasted fish compared with that in normally fed fish, although other areas showed no evident differences. We also administered an antiserum against fish MCH (anti-MCH serum) by ICV injection and examined its immuno-neutralizing effect on food intake by using an automatic monitoring system. Cumulative food intake was significantly increased by ICV injection of the anti-MCH serum. These results indicate that MCH potentially functions as an anorexigenic neuropeptide in the goldfish brain, and that the further study of the evolutionary background of the MCH system and its role in appetite is warranted.
