The ovarian hormone estradiol reduces meal size and food intake in female rats, at least in part by increasing the satiating potency of CCK. Here we used c-Fos immunohistochemistry to determine whether estradiol increases CCK-induced neuronal activation in several brain regions implicated in the control of feeding. Because the adiposity signals leptin and insulin appear to control feeding in part by increasing the satiating potency of CCK, we also examined whether increased adiposity after ovariectomy influences estradiol's effects on CCK-induced c-Fos expression. Ovariectomized rats were injected subcutaneously with 10 mug 17beta-estradiol benzoate (estradiol) or vehicle once each on Monday and Tuesday for 1 wk (experiment 1) or for 5 wk (experiment 2). Two days after the final injection of estradiol or vehicle, rats were injected intraperitoneally with 4 mug/kg CCK in 1 ml/kg 0.9 M NaCl or with vehicle alone. Rats were perfused 60 min later, and brain tissue was collected and processed for c-Fos immunoreactivity. CCK induced c-Fos expression in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), area postrema (AP), paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), and central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) in vehicle- and estradiol-treated ovariectomized rats. Estradiol treatment further increased this response in the caudal, subpostremal, and intermediate NTS, the PVN, and the CeA, but not in the rostral NTS or AP. This action of estradiol was very similar in rats tested before (experiment 1) and after (experiment 2) significant body weight gain, suggesting that adiposity does not modulate CCK-induced c-Fos expression or interact with estradiol's ability to modulate CCK-induced c-Fos expression. These findings suggest that estradiol inhibits meal size and food intake by increasing the central processing of the vagal CCK satiation signal.
