title: A high-fat diet attenuates the central response to within-meal satiation signals and modifies the receptor expression of vagal afferents in mice.
abstract: During digestion, macronutrients are sensed within the small intestine. This sensory process is dependent upon the action of gut mediators, such as cholecystokinin (CCK) or serotonin (5-HT), on vagal afferents that, in turn, convey peripheral information to the brain to influence the control of food intake. Recent studies have suggested that dietary conditions alter vagal sensitivity to CCK and 5-HT. This phenomenon may be of importance to the onset of eating disorders. The aim of the present study was thus to investigate the effects of subjecting mice to 15 days of either an HF diet (30% fat, 54% carbohydrate) or an NF diet (10% fat, 74% carbohydrate) on 1) daily and short-term food intake, 2) vagal sensitivity to peripheral anorectic factors and macronutrient loads, and 3) vagal afferent neuron receptor expression. The results indicated that compared with an NF diet, and while increasing food intake and body weight gain, an HF diet altered the short-term response to CCK-8 and intragastric macronutrient loads, while decreasing vagal activation by CCK-8 and modifying the receptor expression of vagal neurons. These findings, therefore, suggest that dietary intervention effect on food intake could be linked to changes in vagal afferent receptor profiles.
