Voluntary wheel running effects on intra-accumbens opioid driven diet preferences in male and female rats.

Abstract：

:Palatability driven feeding and voluntary physical activity are mediated by and influence similar neural mechanisms, notably through the actions of opioids within the nucleus accumbens. Recent studies suggest that access to a voluntary running wheel results in sex dependent behavioral and physiological adaptations related to opioid mediated palatability-driven feeding. To explore this relationship, male and female Wistar rats were given either access to a voluntary running wheel (RUN group) or no access (SED group) for one week prior to being stereotaxically implanted with bilateral cannulae targeting the nucleus accumbens. Following 7 days of recovery, with RUN or SED conditions continuing the duration of the experiment, all rats were assessed daily (2 h/day) for feeding behavior of concurrently accessible high-carbohydrate and high-fat diet for one week. Following this week, all rats were administered the μ-opioid receptor agonist D-Ala2, NMe-Phe4, Glyol5-enkephalin (DAMGO) (0.0025  μg, 0.025  μg, or 0.25 μg/0.5 μl/side) or the opioid antagonist naloxone (20 μg/0.5 μl/side) into the nucleus accumbens and given concurrent access (2 h) to both diets. All groups expressed a significant baseline preference for the high-carbohydrate diet. DAMGO administration, compared to saline treatment, led to significant increased consumption of the high-carbohydrate diet in all treatment groups. While high-fat diet consumption also increased following DAMGO administration, the influence of DAMGO was much more robust for the preferred high-carbohydrate diet in all groups. Compared to males, females consumed significantly more of both diets at baseline and following DAMGO treatment. Both male and female rats in the RUN condition consumed more high-carbohydrate diet compared to rats in the SED condition. While males exhibited similar increased consumption of both diets regardless of RUN or SED condition, females in the RUN condition displayed a greater sensitivity to DAMGO-driven consumption of the preferred high-carbohydrate, compared to SED females.
