title: Attenuated satiation response to intestinal nutrients in rats that do not express CCK-A receptors.
abstract: Pharmacological experiments suggest that satiation associated with intestinal infusion of several nutrients is mediated by CCK-A receptors. Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty, (OLETF), rats do not express CCK-A receptors and are insensitive to the satiation-producing effects of exogenous CCK. To further evaluate the role of CCK-A receptors in satiation by intestinal nutrient infusion, we examined intake of solid (pelleted rat chow) or liquid (12.5% glucose) food intake, following intestinal infusions of fats (oleic acid or fat emulsion), sugars (maltotriose or glucose), or peptone in OLETF rats and Long Evans Tokushima Otsuka control rats (LETO). Intestinal infusion of glucose or maltotriose reduced solid food intake more in LETO than in OLETF rats from 30 min through 4 h post infusion. Reduction of solid food intake by intestinal infusions of fat or peptone did not differ between OLETF and LETO rats during the first 30 min post infusion, but reduction of intake by these infusates was attenuated in OLETF rats over the ensuing 4h post infusion. Intestinal infusion of glucose, oleate, fat emulsion and peptone reduced 30-min intake of 12.5% glucose more in LETO than OLETF rats. Furthermore, pretreatment with the CCK-A receptor antagonist, devazepide, attenuated intestinal nutrient-induced reduction of food intake only in LETO, but not OLETF rats. Our results confirm pharmacological results, indicating that CCK-A receptors participate in satiation by nutrients that elevate plasma CCK concentrations, as well as by nutrients that do not stimulate secretion of endocrine CCK. In addition, our results indicate: 1) that OLETF rats have deficits in the satiation response to a variety of intestinal nutrient infusions; 2) that the temporal pattern for CCK-A receptor participation in satiation by intestinal nutrients is different during ingestion of liquid and solid foods and 3) that intestinal nutrients provide some satiation signals that are CCK-A receptor mediated and some that are not.
