Dietary and hypothalamic changes in delta 4-androstenedione-treated Zucker rats

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has been shown to alter hypothalamic monoamines and reduce energy intake (EI) in Zucker rats (ZRs). We hypothesized that a metabolite of DHEA, delta 4-Androstenedione (delta 4), may mediate these effects. Male lean and obese ZRs (LZR, OZR) were fed control chow (CC) for...

description Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has been shown to alter hypothalamic monoamines and reduce energy intake (EI) in Zucker rats (ZRs). We hypothesized that a metabolite of DHEA, delta 4-Androstenedione (delta 4), may mediate these effects. Male lean and obese ZRs (LZR, OZR) were fed control chow (CC) for 7 days, during which basal EI was recorded, various concentrations of delta 4 for 7 days, during which 0.6 and 0.3% delta 4 reduced EI significantly, and CC for 7 days, which resulted in a return of EI to basal levels. After delta 4 administration, neurotransmitter contents of various hypothalamic areas were determined. Serotonin (5-HT) has been shown to be correlated with feeding inhibition, and we have shown DHEA to increase lateral hypothalamic 5-HT synthesis; however, after 1 day and 7 days of delta 4, the OZR exhibited an increased metabolism, not synthesis, of 5-HT in the lateral and paraventricular hypothalamus, respectively, delta 4 was compared to DHEA in a macronutrient self-selection study with female OZRs. One group was injected intraperitoneally (IP) with sesame oil (control), another with DHEA (100 mg/kg), and another with delta 4 (100 mg/kg). Previous studies have shown that DHEA decreases both EI and % calories from fat. In this study, delta 4 decreased % calories from fat, but did not decrease total EI. Contrary to DHEA's effect of reducing serum insulin through 28 days of treatment, delta 4 in chow reduced insulin only acutely (1 day). We conclude, based on these differences, that DHEA has unique effects not mediated by its metabolite, delta 4-Androstenedione.
