BACKGROUND & AIMS: The hypothalamus and brain stem have important roles in regulating food intake; the roles of other nonhomeostatic centers in detecting nutrient content of ingested food have been poorly characterized. We used blood oxygen level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD fMRI) to map brain regions that are responsive to intragastric infusion of isocaloric amounts of a mixed nutrient or protein, and assessed the role of blood glucose in the observed BOLD signal changes. METHODS: Brain images were acquired, using a 9.4 T MRI system, from anesthetized rats during intragastric infusion of saline (n = 7), or 12 kcal of a mixed nutrient (n = 13) or protein (n = 6). Nutrient-induced changes in blood parameters and the effects of intravenous infusion of saline or glucose (n = 5/treatment) on BOLD fMRI signal changes were also evaluated. Intragastric nutrient infusion reduced the BOLD fMRI signal intensity in homeostatic (hypothalamus, nucleus tractus solitarius) and nonhomeostatic (thalamus, hippocampus, caudate putamen, cerebral cortex, cerebellum) centers; these effects were mimicked qualitatively by intravenous glucose. In contrast to a mixed meal, protein load reduced the BOLD fMRI signal in the amygdala. BOLD fMRI signal changes were inversely correlated with circulating concentrations of amylin, insulin, peptide YY, and glucagon-like peptide-1. CONCLUSIONS: The caloric content of a meal is signaled from the gut to the brain and affects activity in homeostatic and nonhomeostatic centers; blood glucose concentrations have an important role. The satiety effects of protein are associated with activity changes specifically in the amygdala.
