Fetal hypothalamic brain grafts to the ventromedial hypothalamic obese rats: an immunohistochemical, electrophysiological and behavioral study.

Abstract:

:Fetal ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) tissue was transplanted into or around the third ventricle of adult Fischer 344 rats to determine if transplanted VMH tissue could reverse the hyperphagia and obesity produced by bilateral VMH electrolytic lesions. Host VMH-lesioned rats received stereotaxic implants of 13 to 19 postcoitus fetal VMH tissue from normal Fischer pups. The results show that: 1) Fetal VMH tissue survived in the brain (mainly in the third ventricle) of VMH-lesioned rats. The optimal survival and differentiation was at the gestational age of 13 days; 2) VMH-lesioned rats containing VMH grafts tended to consume less food than the controls, but this was not statistically significant. Neural grafts that could compensate the hyperphagia and obesity produced by the VMH lesions (in comparison to the controls) were those placed into the third ventricle; 3) Electrophysiological evidence demonstrated that VMH grafts contain glucoreceptor neurons in grafts not only located in the third ventricle, but also in the thalamus; 4) Immunohistochemical evidence showed the presence of serotonin, beta-endorphin and substance P immunoreactive fibers in the grafts. These results indicated that transplants of fetal VMH tissue in the brain of bilateral VMH-lesioned adult rats may have some functional effects (depending on the location of the graft).
