Ghrelin is a gastric peptide that regulates appetite and GH secretion. Circulating ghrelin levels are elevated by fasting and suppressed postprandially. However, the mechanisms regulating circulating ghrelin levels are unclear. Oxyntomodulin is an anorexic peptide hormone released from L cells in the gut. We investigated the effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of oxyntomodulin on circulating ghrelin levels. The icv administration of 1, 3, or 10 nmol oxyntomodulin reduced circulating acylated and total (acylated and des-acylated) ghrelin 60 min after icv injection. Administration of 1 nmol oxyntomodulin directly into the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus significantly reduced total and acylated ghrelin levels, and administration of 3 nmol oxyntomodulin into the lateral ventricle induced c-fos mRNA expression in arcuate nucleus neurons expressing the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. In a final study, the reduction in total ghrelin observed after icv injection of 3 nmol oxyntomodulin was blocked by coadministration of the GLP-1 receptor antagonist exendin (9-39). These studies suggest oxyntomodulin reduces peripheral ghrelin levels via GLP-1 receptor-dependent hypothalamic pathways. Postprandial release of anorexic gut hormones may thus act centrally to contribute to the postprandial reduction in circulating ghrelin.
