In vitro gastric vagal afferents' (GVAs) unit activities were recorded from the ventral GVA nerve strands in rats. The responsiveness of 16 GVA terminals to close intra-arterial injection of vehicle (0.1 ml), leptin (350 pmol), and cholecystokinin (CCK)-8 (10 pmol) was analyzed to generate a spike count-versus-time histogram. Data of 5-min spike counts before and after each treatment were normalized by dividing the latter by the former. A quotient (Q) > 1 indicates an excitatory effect, Q < 1 indicates an inhibitory effect, and Q close to 1 indicates no effect. Two types of GVA terminals were identified. Type 1 (n = 8) responded to leptin with Q > 1; CCK-8 pretreatment did not consistently alter leptin sensitivity. In contrast, Type 2 (n = 8) responded to leptin with Q < 1 or close to 1, and CCK-8 pretreatment increased the leptin sensitivity so that the terminals responded to subsequent leptin with Q > 1. These data suggest that Type 1 and Type 2 GVA terminals may provide afferent neural signals, which, in turn, will be involved in body weight and food intake control systems, respectively.
