Acute experiments on anesthetized laboratory rats were performed to study the effects microinjections of 10(-4) M leptin into the solitary tract nucleus on the extent of the Hering-Breuer inflation reflex in ventilatory reactions to hypercapnia. Local administration of leptin into this area led to inhibition of the Hering-Breuer reflex. The extent of ventilatory responses to hypercapnia, conversely, increased, which may provide evidence that leptin has a modulatory influence on central chemoreceptors. These physiological mechanisms of action probably play a leading role in mediating the stimulatory respiratory effects of leptin at the level of the solitary tract nucleus.
