The comprehension of the neural systems controlling food intake and energy expenditure is crucial due to the increased prevalence of the obesity in modern societies. Leptin plays a pivotal role in the control of energy balance through its action on the leptin receptor b (LepRb) in hypothalamic nuclei. The LepRb is also expressed in the hippocampus, a brain structure involved in learning a…

During the endotoxemia acutely induced by the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (100micrograms/kg), we observed hypophagia and reduced body weight gain, in addition to the increased production of inflammatory cytokines. These responses are associated with increased plasma leptin levels. However, animals treated with repeated doses of LPS did not show hypophagia and reduced body weight gain, indica…
