Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of essential amino acid(EAA) deficient diets on short-term feeding response and the Fos expression in brain area when methionine deficiency diet fed, and thereby to know the mechanism of feed intake regulation. In all trials, experimental diets were formulated with pure amino acid mixture to level of 15% nitrogen. Rats were adapted to a 6-hr single-meal feeding per day(17:00${\sim}$21:00). Feed intake and body weight were monitored every hour after 7-day of feeding of individual EAA deficient diets in Exp. Ⅰ. In Exp. Ⅱ, Fos immuno- histochemistry was determined in various regions of brain to identify the regions that is related to suppressed feed intake following feeding methionine-deficient diet. Fos expression was examined to know the initial sensitive region in the brains of rats at 3h after feeding of the control and methionine deficient diet(-Met). Initial response to EAA deficiency diets was severely depressed in methionine deficiency diet, but the depression was low in threonine deficiency diet. However, the feed intake at 3rd day in rats was depressed in the order of His(71%), Leu(68%), Ile(66%), Thr(63%), Trp(61%), Val(55%), Phe(52%), Met(51%), Lys(44%) and Arg(24%). Fos immunoreaction in neural regions(PPC, amygdala and EPC) of pyrifrom cortex was increased in the -Met group more than in the control diet group, but those in LH, VMH and PVM were similar. Thus, based on these data, the PPC was identified as the initial response area in the -EAA diet.

본 시험은 각각의 필수아미노산 결핍사료 섭취에 의한 단기간의 섭식반응과 methionine 결핍(-Met) 사료 섭취시 뇌내 각 부위에 나타나는 Fos 면역반응을 조사하여 아미노산 결핍이 뇌내 섭식반응과 관련있는 부위를 명확히 알고자 수행하였다. 실험사료의 단백질원은 정제아미노산을 이용하였다. 시험에 이용된 모든 사료의 질소원은 순수 아미노산 혼합물을 이용하였으며, 사료내 단백질 함량은 15%로 하였다. 사료는 하루 6시간 동안 섭취하도록 적응을 시켰으며(17:00${\sim}$21:00, meal feeding method), 사료섭취량과 증체량은 사료급여 7일째부터 매시간 측정하였다. 실험 1에서는 각 필수아미노산 결핍사료가 사료섭취량, 체중 변화 및 섭식패턴에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였고, 실험 2에서는 Fos 면역조직 화학적 방법을 사용하여 methio- nine 결핍사료에 대하여 회피 반응을 나타내는 동안에 활성을 보이는 뇌의 영역을 확인하였다. 각 필수아미노산 결핍사료 섭취에 따른 초기 섭식 억제 정도는 methionine이 가장 강하게 나타난 반면 threonine이 가장 약하였다. 결핍사료 급여 3일째의 사료섭취량은 대조구 사료에 비하여 histidine(71%), leucine(68%), isoleucine (66%), threonine(63%), tryptophan(61%), valine (55%), phenylalanine(52%), methionine(51%), lysine(44%), arginine(24%) 순으로 억제되었다. 뇌 신경 영역에 Fos 면역활성은 PPC, amygdala 및 endopyriform cortex(EPC) 부분이 대조구에 비하여 강한 활성을 나타냈으나, LH, VMH 및 PVM에서는 대조구와 처리구가 비슷하게 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과로 미루어 뇌내 PPC는 필수아미노산 결핍에 반응하는 초기 인식부위라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
