Leptin binds to receptors in multiple hypothalamic nuclei to increase sympathetic
nerve activity; however, the neurocircuitry is unclear. Here, using anesthetized
male Sprague-Dawley rats, we investigated the role of the paraventricular nucleus
of the hypothalamus. Intracerebroventricular injection of leptin slowly increased
lumbar sympathetic nerve activity (LSNA), heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and
baroreflex control of LSNA and heart rate. Inhibition of the paraventricular
nucleus with muscimol completely reversed leptin's effects. Blockade of
paraventricular melanocortin 3/4 receptors with SHU9119 or ionotropic glutamate
receptors with kynurenate, alone or together, each partially reversed the effects
of leptin, implicating increased activation of glutamate and melanocortin 3/4
receptors. Conversely, although blockade of neuropeptide Y Y1 receptors in the
paraventricular nucleus increased LSNA, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate,
these responses were prevented by intracerebroventricular or arcuate nucleus
injections of leptin, suggesting that, at least in part, leptin also increases
sympathetic nerve activity by suppression of tonic neuropeptide Y inhibitory
inputs from the arcuate nucleus. Injection of the melanocortin 3/4 receptor
agonist melanotan-II into the paraventricular nucleus increased LSNA, mean
arterial pressure, and heart rate only after blockade of neuropeptide Y Y1
receptors. Therefore, we conclude that leptin increases LSNA in part via
increased glutamatergic and ?-melanocyte-stimulating hormone drive of
paraventricular sympathoexcitatory neurons, the latter of which requires
simultaneous withdrawal of tonic neuropeptide Y inhibition.
