The pancreatic- and brain-derived hormone amylin promotes negative energy balance and is receiving increasing attention as a promising obesity therapeutic. However, the neurobiological substrates mediating amylin’s effects are not fully characterized. We postulated that amylin acts in the lateral dorsal tegmental nucleus (LDTg), an understudied neural-processing hub for reward and homeostatic feeding signals. We used immunohistochemical (IHC) and quantitative PCR analyses to examine expression of the amylin receptor complex in rat LDTg tissue. Behavioral experiments were performed to examine the mechanisms underlying the hypophagic effects of amylin receptor activation in the LDTg. IHC and quantitative PCR analyses show expression of the amylin receptor complex in the LDTg. Activation of LDTg amylin receptors by the agonist salmon calcitonin dose-dependently reduces body weight, food intake, and motivated feeding behaviors. Acute pharmacological studies and longer-term adeno-associated viral (AAV)-knockdown experiments indicate that LDTg amylin receptor signaling is physiologically and potentially pre-clinically relevant for energy balance control. Finally, IHC data indicate that LDTg amylin receptors are expressed on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurons and behavioral results suggest that local GABA receptor signaling mediates the hypophagia following LDTg amylin receptor activation. These findings identify the LDTg as a novel nucleus with therapeutic potential in mediating amylin’s effects on energy balance through GABA receptor signaling.
