We examined the expressions of the prepro-orexin gene in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), the genes of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) in the arcuate nucleus (ARC), the orexin type 1 receptor (OX1R) gene in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) and the orexin type 2 receptor (OX2R) gene in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in 6-, 12- and 18-week-old male lean (Fa/?) and obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats, using in situ hybridization histochemistry. The fa/fa rats showed hyperglycemia at 12- and 18-week-old. The prepro-orexin mRNA level in fa/fa rats at 18-week-old and the OX2R mRNA level in fa/fa rats at 12- and 18-week-old were significantly decreased compared to controls. The NPY mRNA levels in fa/fa rats at each time point were significantly increased compared to controls, but the POMC mRNA levels were decreased. Prepro-orexin and OX2R mRNA levels in fa/fa rats pretreated with insulin normalized to the levels found in Fa/? rats. These results suggest that the regulation of prepro-orexin gene expression might be independent of the regulation of the NPY and POMC genes in the ARC in fa/fa rats.
