Exposure to high-fat diets for prolonged periods results in positive energy balance and obesity, but little is known about the initial physiological and neuroendocrine response of obesity-susceptible strains to high-fat feeding. To assess responses of C57BL/6J mice to high- and low-fat diets, we quantitated the hypothalamic expression of neuropeptides implicated in weight regulation and neuroendocrine function over a 2-wk period. Exposure to high-fat diet increased food consumption over a 2-day period during which leptin levels were increased when assessed by a frequent sampling protocol [area under the curve (AUC): 134.6 ± 10.3 vs. 100 ± 12.3, P = 0.03 during first day and 126.5 ± 8.2 vs. 100 ± 5.2, P = 0.02 during second day]. During this period, hypothalamic expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) decreased by ~30 and 50%, respectively (P < 0.001). After 1 wk, both caloric intake and hypothalamic expression of NPY and AgRP returned toward baseline. After 2 wk, cumulative caloric intake was again higher in the high-fat group, and now proopiomelanocortin (POMC) was elevated by 76% (P = 0.01). This study demonstrates that high-fat feeding induces hyperphagia, hyperleptinemia, and transient suppression of orexigenic neuropeptides during the first 2 days of diet. The subsequent induction of POMC may be a second defense against obesity. Attempts to understand the hypothalamic response to high-fat feeding must examine the changes as they develop over time.
