Leptin changes Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent response and up-regulates the gene expression of calcineurin in rat hypothalamus.

Abstract:

:To understand the leptin's action on hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent response in leptin-treated rat ARC was investigated. The in vitro phosphorylation of ARC extracts from leptin-treated rats did not respond to CaM. Although CaM-dependent protein kinase II activity was not affected by leptin, the gene expression of calcineurin, CaM-dependent phosphatase, increased in leptin-treated rats.
