Abstract

Nesfatin-1 modulates gastric vagal afferent mechanosensitivity in a nutritional state-dependent manner.

  • High fat diet (HFD) mice showed increased body weight and fat accumulation.
  • Plasma levels of nesfatin-1 precursor (NUCB2) remained unchanged across different dietary groups.
  • NUCB2 mRNA was present in the gastric lining and fat tissue of all dietary conditions without significant differences.
  • In standard laboratory diet (SLD) and fasted mice, nesfatin-1 enhanced mechanosensitivity of mucosal receptors.
  • Nesfatin-1 did not affect tension receptor mechanosensitivity in SLD and fasted mice but inhibited it in HFD mice.
