ABSTRACT
Neuroendocrine coordination between the reproductive and energy regulatory hypothalamic circuitries not only tightly regulates food intake and energy expenditure but also maintains the body weight and reproduction. The effect of different simulated photoperiodic conditions on food intake and neuroendocrine mechanism of energy homeostasis in Japanese quail is not investigated till date. Hence, our present study is designed to elucidate the effect of different simulated photoperiodic conditions on food consumption and neuroendocrine mechanism(s) of energy regulation in this poultry species. The alterations in hypothalamic energy balancing neuropeptides (NPY/AgRP/CART), polypeptide hormone precursor (POMC), protein kinase (AMPK-p-AMPK) as well as receptors of insulin and adiponectin [Insulin Receptor (IR), Adiponectin Receptor 1 & 2] have been investigated in photosensitive (PS), scotorefractory (SR),photorefractory (PR) and scotosensitive (SS) quail. Immunofluorescence and western blotting were used to quantify the expression of these peptides and proteins. Results showed increased food consumption and body weight gain, along with increased expression of NPY, AgRP, IR, adiponectin receptors and p-AMPK, decreased CART and POMC in the hypothalamus of photosensitive and scotorefractory quail. While, opposite findings were observed in photorefractory and scotosensitive quail. Hence, this study may suggest the hypothalamic energy channelization towards reproductive axis in photosensitive and scotorefractory quail to support the full breeding conditions, while hypothalamic energy deprivation in photorefractory and scotosensitive quail leads to reproductive quiescence.
