Binge eating involves consumption of large amounts of food and a loss of control over the amount consumed. The incidence of binge eating disorder is higher in females than males, hinting at important sex differences in binge eating behavior, but the neural underpinnings of binge eating still remain unresolved. Recent work in male rats has shown that a history of binge-like palatable food intake suppresses hindbrain expression of preproglucagon (PPG), the precursor for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Given the roles of GLP-1 in reducing feeding and food reward, this could be a mechanism underlying binge-like eating in rodents. However, whether similar effects occur in female rats is unknown. Here, we tested the hypothesis that a history of binge-like palatable food intake in female rats would reduce PPG expression in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), a key central site of GLP-1 production. Female rats given access to vegetable shortening every fourth day (4D) engaged in binge-like feeding, demonstrated by consuming significantly more shortening during the first hour of fat access compared to counterparts with ad libitum (AL) fat access. After several weeks of fat access under these schedules, PPG and GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) expression were measured in the NTS and ileum. Surprisingly, and in contrast to previous findings in male rats, there were no significant differences in expression of PPG or GLP-1R in either site in 4D versus AL rats, nor were there effects on plasma GLP-1 levels. These findings highlight key differences in the effects of binge-like intake on the central GLP-1 system in female compared to male rats.
