Gut hormones in relation to body mass and torpor pattern changes during food restriction and re-feeding in the gray mouse lemur

摘要: Potential implications of gut hormones in body mass and torpor behavioral pattern changes induced by an incremental (40 80%) calorie restriction (CR) long-days (LD, summer) short-days (SD, winter) were investigated gray mouse lemurs. Only 80% food-deprived LD SD animals showed a continuous loss resulting 10 15% reduction, respectively. Ghrelin levels all groups increased 2.6-fold on average remained high after re-feeding while peptide YY (PYY) 3.8-fold only under CR. In the re-fed group, was positively associated with ghrelin negatively PYY, no correlations noted animals. Plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) 2.9-fold food-restricted lemurs minimal temperature. No significant reported These results suggest that ghrelin, PYY GLP-1 may be related to pre-wintering fattening mechanisms modulation expression, Such observation clearly warrants further investigations, but it opens interesting area research regulation.
