Sprague-Dawley rats injected with a "physiological" dose of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8; 6 micrograms/kg ip) expressed c-fos immunoreactivity in the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS) and the area postrema (AP) of the brain stem. Injection of the CCK-A antagonist L-364,718 30 min before CCK-8 injection eliminated c-fos expression in these regions. These findings support the hypothesis that CCK-8 induced c-fos expression is mediated by CCK-A receptors. We then tested whether a meal (Isocal) could activate c-fos, and, if so, whether this response could be eliminated by L-364,718. Ingestion of Isocal induced c-fos immunoreactivity in the NTS and AP. Meal-induced c-fos expression was not blocked by the CCK-A antagonist L-364,718. These findings demonstrate for the first time that a purely physiological nonnoxious stimulus, a meal, induces c-fos in the rat brain stem and indicate that feeding induces c-fos expression by a pathway that is largely, if not entirely, independent of CCK release.
