          Abstract

          A role of gut-brain axis emerges in the pathophysiology of anorexia nervosa and maintaining adapted physical activity during refeeding remains discussed. We aimed to assess gastrointestinal protein metabolism and investigate the contribution of physical activity during refeeding in C57BL/6 mice with activity-based anorexia (ABA). ABA mice exhibited lower body weight and food intake with increase of lean mass/fat mass ratio and fat oxidation. Colonic permeability was increased in ABA. Ad libitum food access was then restored and ABA group was divided into two subgroups, with access to running wheel (ABA-PA) or not (ABA-NPA). After refeeding, fat free mass was completely restored only in ABA-PA. Colonic permeability was enhanced in ABA-NPA. Finally, muscle kynurenine conversion into kynurenic acid was lower in ABA-NPA who also exhibited altered behavior. Maintaining physical activity during refeeding may thus limit colonic hyperpermeability and improve behavior in anorectic mice.

            Skeletal muscle PGC-1α1 modulates kynurenine metabolism and mediates resilience to stress-induced depression.

            Depression is a debilitating condition with a profound impact on quality of life for millions of people worldwide. Physical exercise is used as a treatment strategy for many patients, but the mechanisms that underlie its beneficial effects remain unknown. Here, we describe a mechanism by which skeletal muscle PGC-1α1 induced by exercise training changes kynurenine metabolism and protects from stress-induced depression. Activation of the PGC-1α1-PPARα/δ pathway increases skeletal muscle expression of kynurenine aminotransferases, thus enhancing the conversion of kynurenine into kynurenic acid, a metabolite unable to cross the blood-brain barrier. Reducing plasma kynurenine protects the brain from stress-induced changes associated with depression and renders skeletal muscle-specific PGC-1α1 transgenic mice resistant to depression induced by chronic mild stress or direct kynurenine administration. This study opens therapeutic avenues for the treatment of depression by targeting the PGC-1α1-PPAR axis in skeletal muscle, without the need to cross the blood-brain barrier.

              Calorie restriction increases fatty acid synthesis and whole body fat oxidation rates.

              Calorie restriction (CR) increases longevity and retards the development of many chronic diseases, but the underlying metabolic signals are poorly understood. Increased fatty acid (FA) oxidation and reduced FA synthesis have been hypothesized to be important metabolic adaptations to CR. However, at metabolic steady state, FA oxidation must match FA intake plus synthesis; moreover, FA intake is low, not high, during CR. Therefore, it is not clear how FA dynamics are altered during CR. Accordingly, we measured food intake patterns, whole body fuel selection, endogenous FA synthesis, and gene expression in mice on CR. Within 2 days of CR being started, a shift to a cyclic, diurnal pattern of whole body FA metabolism occurred, with an initial phase of elevated endogenous FA synthesis [respiratory exchange ratio (RER) >1.10, lasting 4-6 h after food provision], followed by a prolonged phase of FA oxidation (RER = 0.70, lasting 18-20 h). CR mice oxidized four times as much fat per day as ad libitum (AL)-fed controls (367 +/- 19 vs. 97 +/- 14 mg/day, P < 0.001) despite reduced energy intake from fat. This increase in FA oxidation was balanced by a threefold increase in adipose tissue FA synthesis compared with AL. Expression of FA synthase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase mRNA were increased in adipose and liver in a time-dependent manner. We conclude that CR induces a surprising metabolic pattern characterized by periods of elevated FA synthesis alternating with periods of FA oxidation disproportionate to dietary FA intake. This pattern may have implications for oxidative damage and disease risk.
