title: [Repeating of emotional stress prevents development of melanocortin obesity and type 2 diabetes in the mice with the Agouti yellow mutation].
abstract: Brain melanocortin system (MC-system) participates in regulation of energy homeostasis. Dominant mutation yellow of the Agouti gene leads to the hyperphagia, obesity and type 2 diabetes. Stress is known to inhibit food intake and body weight. The aim of the work was to study effects of repeating emotional stress on food intake and lipid-carbohydrate metabolism in Ay-mice. Male mice of C57B1/6J strain predisposed to the obesity (Ay/a-genotype) and normal (a/a-genotype) were used. In control group food intake, body weight and blood levels of insulin and leptin were increased in Ay/a-mice as compared to a/a-mice. Repeating emotional stress (30 min restraint 3 times a week for 5 weeks) did not alter food intake and indices of lipid-carbohydrate metabolism in a/a-mice and decreased food intake, body weight and blood levels of insulin and leptin in Ay/a-mice. Insulin and leptin blood levels were the same in Ay/a- and a/a-mice on 5 week of treatment. The stress increased basal and stress-induced concentrations of corticosterone to an equal degree in Ay/a- and a/a-mice. Thus, light repeating emotional stress hampered development of obesity and 2 type diabetes in the mice with the Agouti yellow mutation.
