Increased adenylate cyclase activity and rapid weight loss following intraseptal injection of cholera toxin.

Abstract:

:Cholera toxin, stereotaxically injected into the medial septal nucleus of the rat, leads within 24 h to a dramatic decrease in body weight and an increase in septal adenylate cyclase activity. Toxin-treated rats drink one-third the water of vehicle-treated animals while excreting two-and-one half times the urine. Food intake over the 24-h period is depressed to 13% of control but feces production was normal. The dramatic increase of urinary output suggests that cholera toxin activates a septal adenylate cyclase system which supressess the release of antidiuretic hormone. Cholera toxin injection into the septum may be a unique alternative to electrical stimulation for investigating septal involvement in the regulation of neuronal and metabolic processes.
