Central and peripheral proglumide administration and cholecystokinin-induced satiety.
Peripheral (50 mg/ml) or central (50 micrograms/microliter) injections of proglumide were made into Sprague-Dawley rats which displayed satiety-like responses after the peripheral (100 micrograms/kg) or central (50 ng in 1 microliter) administration of cholecystokinin (CCK). The satiety produced by CCK injection into the lateral hypothalamus, area postraema and ventromedial hypothalamus was significantly reversed by proglumide injections into these areas during a 4 h food intake test. Peripheral injection of proglumide after central or peripheral CCK injection did not modify this type of CCK-induced satiety. Central proglumide injection produced a reliable decrease in water intake and this is compatible with previous findings which describe the stimulation of water intake after central gastrin administration. These results suggest that various central and peripheral mechanisms which are involved in the regulation of appetite may function independently as a 'failsafe' system.
