Are hypothalamic neurons transsynaptically connected to porcine adipose tissue?

Abstract:

:Specific anatomical sites and pathways responsible for mediating metabolic and neuroendocrine effects of leptin are still poorly understood. Therefore, we examined distribution of leptin receptor-containing neurons transsynaptically connected with the porcine fat tissue by means of combined viral transneuronal tracing and immunohistochemical staining method. Pseudorabies virus (PRV) was injected into the perirenal fat tissue in pigs, and after survival periods of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 days, hypothalami were processed immunohistochemically with primary antisera against PRV and leptin receptor (OBR). PRV labeled neurons were found in paraventricular nucleus (PVN), ventromedial nucleus (VMN), anterior hypothalamic area (AHA), preoptic area (PA), arcuate nucleus (ARC), and supraoptic nucleus (SON) by nine days after injection of the virus. Double-labeling immunofluorescence demonstrated that OBR were co-localized in nearly all virus-infected neurons. The present results provide the first morphological data demonstrating a multisynaptic circuit of neurons of CNS origin which innervates porcine fat tissue.
