Abstract: | Recent studies reported the impact of leptin on peripheral insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization. However, little is known concerning the effect of central leptin on hypothalamic and hepatic insulin efficiency. This study aimed to determine the consequence of chronic intra-cerebroventricular (ICV) leptin or murine leptin antagonist (MLA) infusion on hypothalamic and hepatic insulin signaling pathways, in rats. A 2-week central leptin infusion enhanced insulin-dependent Akt phosphorylation in the liver without changing PTP-1B protein expression, associated to insulin receptor (IR) upregulation and reduced IRS-1 phosphorylation on Ser302 residue. In the hypothalamus, a chronic ICV leptin infusion induced PTP-1B associated with a specific decrease in insulin-dependent Akt phosphorylation. In contrast, a chronic MLA infusion did not alter IR and PTP-1B expressions in hypothalamus and liver. Our results underline a brain leptin-dependent increase in hepatic insulin efficiency as mirrored by IR up-regulation, increased insulin-dependent Akt phosphorylation and reduced IRS-1 phosphorylation on Ser302 residue. |
