Résumé

The VGF-derived TLQP peptides (TLQPp), a new potential drug target for obesity, are expressed in stomach, pancreas, adrenal gland as well as in adipose tissues, and, when exogenously injected, regulate energy expenditure and food intake. However, it is not clear if these peptides physiologically change in these organs in response to fasting. Rats were subdivided into four groups: (A) fed ad libitum, (B) fed with restrictions (once a day) (C) fast for 48 h and (D) fast for 48 h and then fed 1 h before sacrifice. Immunosorbent assay was used to possibly reveal TLQPp changes upon fasting in plasma as well as in pancreas, adrenal gland, stomach and adipose tissues. In the latter organs, we also measured the levels of the VGF precursor protein while immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the presence of the TLQP-21 receptors. During fasting, TLQPp were down-regulated in the stomach (45 %), pancreas (47 %), adrenal gland (51 %) and WAT (45.2 %) in parallel with a significant increase in the blood (36.6 %), all versus ad libitum group. In the same organs where the TLQPp were decreased upon fasting, the VGF precursor levels were not changed. In ad libitum rats, TLQP-21 receptors were well represented within the same cells that expressed TLQPp, suggesting an autocrine activity to be better investigated. During fasting, TLQPp are probably produced and immediately secreted into the blood circulation, until the hypoglycaemia is counteracted.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The VGF-derived TLQP peptides (TLQPp), a new potential drug target for obesity, are expressed in stomach, pancreas, adrenal gland as well as in adipose tissues, and, when exogenously injected, regulate energy expenditure and food intake. However, it is not clear if these peptides physiologically change in these organs in response to fasting.
METHODS METHODS
Rats were subdivided into four groups: (A) fed ad libitum, (B) fed with restrictions (once a day) (C) fast for 48 h and (D) fast for 48 h and then fed 1 h before sacrifice. Immunosorbent assay was used to possibly reveal TLQPp changes upon fasting in plasma as well as in pancreas, adrenal gland, stomach and adipose tissues. In the latter organs, we also measured the levels of the VGF precursor protein while immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the presence of the TLQP-21 receptors.
RESULTS RESULTS
During fasting, TLQPp were down-regulated in the stomach (45 %), pancreas (47 %), adrenal gland (51 %) and WAT (45.2 %) in parallel with a significant increase in the blood (36.6 %), all versus ad libitum group. In the same organs where the TLQPp were decreased upon fasting, the VGF precursor levels were not changed. In ad libitum rats, TLQP-21 receptors were well represented within the same cells that expressed TLQPp, suggesting an autocrine activity to be better investigated.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
During fasting, TLQPp are probably produced and immediately secreted into the blood circulation, until the hypoglycaemia is counteracted.
