title: Integrated metabolic control of food intake.
abstract: Inhibition of glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation by combined treatment with 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) and methyl palmoxirate, or inhibition of glycolysis and lipolysis by combined treatment with 2DG and nicotonic acid synergistically increased food intake in rats. Methyl palmoxirate treatment alone increased food intake in rats fed a high-fat, but not low-fat diet. These results provide direct evidence for a mechanism in the control of food intake that integrates signals generated by the metabolism of glucose and fatty acids. In addition, they strongly indicate a role for fatty acid oxidation in the control of eating and raise the possibility that an interaction between glucose and fat metabolism underlies the link between regulation of body fat stores and short-term food intake.
