Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- It is well recognized that the hypothalamus is of central importance in the regulation of food intake and fat mass. Recent studies indicate that it also plays an important role in the regulation of bone mass. Melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) is highly expressed in the hypothalamus and has been implicated in regulation of energy homeostasis. We developed MCHR1 inactivated mice to evaluate the physiological role of this receptor. Interestingly, the MCHR1(-/-) mice have osteoporosis, caused by a reduction in the cortical bone mass, while the amount of trabecular bone is unaffected. The reduction in cortical bone mass is due to decreased cortical thickness. Serum levels of c-telopeptide, a marker of bone resorption, are increased in MCHR1(-/-) mice, indicating that the MCHR1(-/-) mice have a high bone turnover osteoporosis. In conclusion, the MCHR1(-/-) mice have osteoporosis, indicating that MCHR1-signalling is involved in a tonic stimulation of bone mass.
