2001 MAY 26 - (NewsRx Network) -- by N.R. Saltmarsh, staff medical writer - Cerulenin mimics the effects of leptin on food intake and metabolic rate in animals but appears to do so using different mechanisms, according to a report in Diabetes.

H. Makimura and colleagues in the United States studied the effects of cerulenin on ob/ob, Ay (agouti), and fed and fasted wild-type mice. They found that cerulenin reduced body weight and food intake and increased metabolic rate in ob/ob mice and wild-type mice, much as leptin did.

But unlike leptin, cerulenin did not prevent the influence of fasting on such neuroendocrine indicators as plasma corticosterone, …
