The hyperphagic properties of insulin (10 U/kg, s.c.) were transiently (2h) and dose-dependently inhibited (30%) by central pretreatment with naltrexone (20-50 micrograms, i.c.v.). The irreversible mu opioid antagonist, beta-funaltrexamine (B-FNA, 20 micrograms, i.c.v.) significantly inhibited insulin hyperphagia by 28-54% over the 6-h time course. In contrast, insulin hyperphagia was only transiently (2 h) inhibited (27-30%) by either the irreversible mu 1 antagonist, naloxonazine (50 micrograms, i.c.v.) or the selective kappa antagonist, nor-binaltorphamine (NorBNI, 20 micrograms, i.c.v.). The delta-antagonistic actions of [D-Ala2, Leu5, Cys6]-enkephalin (DALCE, 40 micrograms, i.c.v.) failed to affect insulin hyperphagia. These data suggest that the mu 2 opioid receptor subtype modulates insulin hyperphagia.

The effect of the selective delta-opioid antagonist ICI 174,864 (N,N-bisallyl-Tyr-Aib-Aib-Phe-Leu-OH: Aib=alpha-aminoisobutyric acid) on the hyperphagia induced by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) was investigated in non-deprived rats. The increase in food intake produced by 2-DG (500 mg/kg i.p.) was not reduced by ICI 174,864 at a dose (3 micrograms/rat i.c.v.) which totally abolished the feeding response to the delta-agonist D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin (10 micrograms/rat i.c.v.). These findings suggest that the appetitive effects of 2-DG are not mediated by an enkephalinergic/delta-receptor system. They do not, however, preclude the possible involvement of endogenous opioids acting at other sub-types of opioid receptor in this glucoprivic ingestional response, which is suppressed by less specific opioid antagonists such as naloxone.

Delta and kappa opioid receptors have been differentiated into further subtypes based upon both biochemical and pharmacological analgesic assays. Whereas hyperphagia elicited by the kappa1 receptor agonist, U50488H is blocked by general and kappa1 opioid antagonists, hyperphagia elicited by the kappa3 receptor agonist, naloxone benzoylhydrazone (NalBzOH) is blocked by general, but not kappa1 opioid antagonists. The first study assessed the opioid antagonist profile of hyperphagia elicited by centrally administered delta1 ([D-Pen2, D-Pen5]-enkephalin, DPDPE: 5-50 microg) and delta2 ([D-Ala2, Glu4]-Deltorphin, Delt II: 5-50 microg) agonists following central pretreatment with general (naltrexone), delta1 ([D-Ala2, Leu5, Cys6]-enkephalin, DALCE) and delta2 (naltrindole isothiocyanate, NTII) opioid antagonists. It is also important to determine whether selective opioid receptor subtype agonists are capable of altering intake in ingestive situations other than spontaneous feeding. The second study examined whether centrally administered delta1, delta2, kappa1 or kappa3 agonists altered the pattern and magnitude of hyperphagia elicited by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG: 50-400 mg/kg, IP). DPDPE-induced hyperphagia was significantly reduced by naltrexone and NTII, but not DALCE. Delt II-induced hyperphagia was significantly reduced by DALCE and NTII, but not naltrexone. Pairing Delt II (5 microg) with low (100-200 mg/kg) 2DG doses significantly enhanced intake, producing a leftward (3-fold) shift in 2DG's hyperphagic dose-response curve. In contrast, DPDPE failed to alter 2DG-induced hyperphagia, and kappa1 and kappa3 opioid agonists each produced small, but significant increases in 2DG-induced hyperphagia. The antagonist data suggest the possibility of physiological and pharmacological interactions between delta receptor subtypes in mediating food intake, and it would appear that delta2 opioid receptors exert facilitatory effects upon glucoprivic hyperphagia.

Opioid receptor subtype antagonists differentially alter food intake under deprivation (24 h), glucoprivic (2-deoxy-D-glucose, 500 mg/kg, i.p.) or palatable (10% sucrose) conditions with mu (beta-funaltrexamine) and kappa (nor-binaltorphamine), but not delta1 ([D-Ala2,Leu5,Cys6]enkephalin) opioid antagonists reducing each form of intake following ventricular microinjection. Both mu and kappa opioid antagonists microinjected into either the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus or the nucleus accumbens reduce intake under deprivation and glucoprivic conditions. Palatable intake is reduced by both antagonists in the paraventricular nucleus, but only mu antagonists are active in the accumbens. Food intake is stimulated by mu and delta, but not kappa, opioid agonists microinjected into the ventral tegmental area. The present study examined whether food intake under either deprivation, glucoprivic or palatable conditions was altered by bilateral administration of general (naltrexone), mu, kappa, delta1 or delta2 (naltrindole isothiocyanate) opioid antagonists into the ventral tegmental area. Deprivation (24 h)-induced feeding was significantly reduced by high (50 microg), but not lower (10-20 microg) doses of naltrexone (21%), and by delta2 (4 microg, 19%) antagonism in the ventral tegmental area. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (500 mg/kg, i.p.)-induced hyperphagia was significantly reduced by high (50 microg), but not lower (20 microg) doses of naltrexone (64%), and by delta2 (4 microg, 27%) antagonism in the ventral tegmental area. Sucrose (10%) intake was significantly reduced by naltrexone (20-50 microg, 25-39%) and delta2 (4 microg, 25%) antagonism in the ventral tegmental area. Neither mu, kappa nor delta1 antagonists were effective in reducing any form of intake following microinjection into the ventral tegmental area. These data indicate that the ventral tegmental area plays a relatively minor role in the elicitation of these forms of food intake, and that delta2, rather than mu, kappa or delta1 opioid receptors appear responsible for mediation of these forms of intake by this nucleus.
