Peripheral or central administration of Bace1 inhibitor reduces body weight and hyperleptinemia of DIO mice. (a) Hypothalamic Bace1 mRNA (n = 9–11), protein (n = 7–11) and activity (sAPPβ; n = 8) in sc vehicle or M-3 DIO mice. (b) Percentage body weight decrease and actual weight loss in DIO mice given sc vehicle or M-3 (n = 11). (c) qMR of DIO mice after sc vehicle or M-3 (n = 6–7/group). (d) Plasma leptin of DIO mice after sc vehicle or M-3 (n = 8–9/group). (e) Cumulative food intake of DIO mice given sc vehicle or M-3 (n = 11). (f) RER of DIO mice after sc vehicle or M-3 (n = 5–7/group). (g) Locomotor activity of naïve DIO mice and DIO mice after sc vehicle or M-3 (n = 6–7/group). (h) Agrp/Pomc and Npy/Pomc ratios for DIO mice after sc vehicle or M-3 (n = 12–14/group). (i) Hypothalamic sAPPβ of icv vehicle or M-3 DIO mice (n = 11–12/group). (j) Percentage body weight decrease and actual weight loss in DIO mice given icv vehicle or M-3 (n = 11). (k) Plasma leptin of DIO mice after icv vehicle or M-3 (n = 4–6/group). (l) Agrp/Pomc and Npy/Pomc ratios for DIO mice following icv vehicle or M-3 (n = 12–13/group). (m) Cumulative food intake of DIO mice given icv vehicle or M-3 (n = 7–9/group). Data are means ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 by 2-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test (a,d,f,h,i,k,l) body weight loss in (b,j), one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test (c,g) or repeated measures ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparisons test (b,e,j,m).
