Multiple behavioral and neurochemical abnormalities are found in the genetically obese mouse, obob , including hyperphagia, elevated hypothalamic norepinephrine (NE) levels, and increases alpha-1 receptor density. The obese mutant also responds abnormally to neuropharmacological agents. In the
We examined glucose metabolism after I1-imidazoline (I1R) and alpha2-adrenergic receptor (alpha2AR) activation in an animal model of metabolic syndrome X. Fasted spontaneously hypertensive obese rats (SHROB) were given the I1R/alpha2AR agonists moxonidine and rilmenidine or the alpha2AR agonist
The imidazoline-type compound, MPV-1743, has been found to activate nonshivering thermogenesis (NST) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) of the genetically obese Zucker rats. The regulation of NST in BAT is linked to the catecholamine metabolism, and the imidazoline I2-binding sites have been found on the
