Aim/hypothesisLowering the body weight set point is a prerequisite for the maintenance of reduced body weight. In this context, obesity is known to be strongly linked to leptin resistance, and it remains to be clarified whether recovery from leptin resistance might lower the body weight set point to allow sustained body weight loss.MethodsObese IRS-2 knockout (IRS-2−/−) mice were subjected to calorie restriction (CR) or β3-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonist treatment. The physiological effects of leptin, hypothalamic leptin signaling, and alterations of the body weight set point were evaluated.ResultsIn the CR mice, recovery from acquired leptin resistance was observed, as shown by the restoration of the suppressive effects of leptin on food intake and weight gain, as well as the recovery of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation. Nevertheless, the body weight quickly rebounded to the original body weight after cessation of the CR, suggesting that CR failed to overcome the primary defect in IRS-2/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling. On the other hand, after 2 weeks β3-AR agonist treatment, the mice began to lose body weight, indicating that the treatment was able to overcome the primary defect in IRS-2/PI3K signaling and lower the body weight set point.Conclusions/interpretationRecovery of acquired leptin resistance does not lead to a resetting of the body weight set point in obese IRS-2/PI3K-defective mice. β3-AR agonist treatment may act on some pathways distal to or independent of PI3K and/or STAT3, inducing resetting of the body weight set point.
