Ethanol 123-130 proopiomelanocortin Rattus norvegicus 98-107 18162070-2 2008 Recent pharmacologic and genetic evidence suggests that MC receptor (MCR) signaling modulates neurobiologic responses to ethanol and ethanol intake. Ethanol 121-128 nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 2 Rattus norvegicus 56-67 18162070-2 2008 Recent pharmacologic and genetic evidence suggests that MC receptor (MCR) signaling modulates neurobiologic responses to ethanol and ethanol intake. Ethanol 121-128 nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 2 Rattus norvegicus 69-72 18162070-2 2008 Recent pharmacologic and genetic evidence suggests that MC receptor (MCR) signaling modulates neurobiologic responses to ethanol and ethanol intake. Ethanol 133-140 nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 2 Rattus norvegicus 56-67 18162070-2 2008 Recent pharmacologic and genetic evidence suggests that MC receptor (MCR) signaling modulates neurobiologic responses to ethanol and ethanol intake. Ethanol 133-140 nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 2 Rattus norvegicus 69-72 18162070-3 2008 Because ethanol decreases POMC mRNA levels, we determined if exposure to an ethanol-containing diet (ED) would significantly reduce central immunoreactivity of the MC peptide alpha-MSH in rats. Ethanol 8-15 proopiomelanocortin Rattus norvegicus 26-30 18162070-3 2008 Because ethanol decreases POMC mRNA levels, we determined if exposure to an ethanol-containing diet (ED) would significantly reduce central immunoreactivity of the MC peptide alpha-MSH in rats. Ethanol 76-83 proopiomelanocortin Rattus norvegicus 26-30 18162070-3 2008 Because ethanol decreases POMC mRNA levels, we determined if exposure to an ethanol-containing diet (ED) would significantly reduce central immunoreactivity of the MC peptide alpha-MSH in rats. Ethanol 76-83 proopiomelanocortin Rattus norvegicus 175-184 18162070-4 2008 We also determined if ethanol exposure would alter the immunoreactivity of agouti-related protein (AgRP), an endogenous MCR antagonist. Ethanol 22-29 agouti related neuropeptide Rattus norvegicus 75-97 18162070-4 2008 We also determined if ethanol exposure would alter the immunoreactivity of agouti-related protein (AgRP), an endogenous MCR antagonist. Ethanol 22-29 agouti related neuropeptide Rattus norvegicus 99-103 18162070-8 2008 Ethanol-induced reductions of alpha-MSH immunoreactivity were site-specific and were noted in regions of the hypothalamus and extended amygdala, as well as the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus. Ethanol 0-7 proopiomelanocortin Rattus norvegicus 30-39 18162070-9 2008 Because there were no differences in body weights or caloric intake between the CD and ED groups, reductions of alpha-MSH immunoreactivity in ED-treated rats are best explained by ethanol exposure rather than altered energy balance. Ethanol 180-187 proopiomelanocortin Rattus norvegicus 112-121 18162070-11 2008 CONCLUSIONS: The present study shows that ethanol site specifically reduces alpha-MSH immunoreactivity in rat brain.
