项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Obesity is a major health problem worldwide. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that plays essential roles in the regulation of energy balance in many species including humans. Thus, BDNF system could be one of the therapeutic targets for prevention and treatment of obesity. There is increasing evidence that regulation of energy balance and metabolism is not the same for both genders. Previous studies suggest that BDNF activates sympathetic nervous system to regulate metabolism. However, the exact neural circuit responsible for BDNF-induced energy metabolism is unknown. Additionally, females are more sensitive to BDNF's effects on the regulation of energy balance than males. The underlying neural mechanism for the sex differences in energy metabolism regulated by BDNF is unknown. This project will examine potential neural mechanism of BDNF system in regulating energy metabolism in male and female rats. First, the central nervous system-peripheral tissue circuit involving BDNF will be identified. Then changes in specific sympathetic molecular markers and sympathetic drive to metabolic tissues by BDNF administration will be assessed. Collectively, this project will provide direct neuroanatomical, neurofunctional, molecular, and neurochemical evidence underlying the mechanisms of BDNF's effects on metabolism and energy homeostasis. Additionally, this project will provide important new information about sex differences in response to BDNF administration. Such information is invaluable for identifying gender-specific biological targets for intervention to prevent or treat obesity. Furthermore, this project provides plentiful opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to participate in research and to enhance research environment at Miami University, in agreement with the R15 mission.

描述（由申请人提供）：肥胖是世界范围内的一个主要健康问题，脑源性神经营养因子（BDNF）是一种神经营养蛋白，在包括人类在内的许多物种的能量平衡调节中发挥着重要作用。预防和治疗肥胖的治疗目标越来越多的证据表明，两性的能量平衡和代谢调节并不相同，但 BDNF 激活交感神经系统来调节代谢的具体神经回路。此外，女性对 BDNF 对能量平衡调节的影响比男性更敏感。 BDNF 调节能量代谢的性别差异的潜在神经机制尚不清楚。 BDNF 系统调节雄性和雌性大鼠能量代谢的机制首先，将确定涉及 BDNF 的中枢神经系统 - 外周组织回路，然后将评估 BDNF 给药对特定交感神经分子标记和代谢组织的驱动力的变化。总的来说，该项目将提供 BDNF 对新陈代谢和能量稳态影响机制的直接神经解剖学、神经功能、分子和神经化学证据。此外，该项目还将提供有关 BDNF 给药反应的性别差异的重要新信息。此外，该项目为研究生和本科生提供大量机会参与研究并改善迈阿密大学的研究环境，这与 R15 使命一致。
