In particular, binge eating disorder is included in ICD-10 as a form of nonchemical dependence.</p>
<p><em><strong>AIM:</strong> </em>The participation of the orexin and dopamine systems of the brain was studied in conditions of food self-deprivation caused by self-stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus.</p>
<p><strong><em>METHODS:</em></strong> To reproduce the self-stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus, male Wistar rats were trained to press the pedal in Skinner box. After training, rats received a food deprivation, a feeder was placed in the Skinner box, and a conditioned reflex on food reinforcement was developed in rats for 5 days. The food self-deprivation reaction was observed in these rats with a stimulating current intensity of 10% and above the threshold for self-stimulation.</p>
<p><strong><em>RESULTS: </em></strong>Hungry animals pressed the pedal forhypothalamic self-stimulation and did not distract to the feeding trough. Food reactions were observed only when using the threshold current. Then rats received a free access to food, but the animals, pressing the pedal for self-stimulation, continued food intakes for many times and eat up to 60 seeds in 10 minutes of the experiment. Dopamine receptor D2/D3 antagonist sulpiride at doses of 5 and 20 mg/kg ip and orexin receptor antagonists OX1RSB-408124 and OX2R TCS 29 0.5 mg/ml, 20 l intranasally were used. Sulpiride administration in fed rats decreased both the eating behavior and the reinforcing properties of electrical stimulation in food self-deprivation testing. At the same time, SB-408124 administration induced a decrease in the number of seeds eaten, but the number of pedal presses increased. Administration of OX2R TCS 29 had no effect.</p>
<p><strong><em>CONCLUSIONS:</em></strong> The conclusion was made about the selectivity of the orexin A OX1RSB-408124 antagonist for emotional eating forms compared with the D2/D3 receptor antagonist dopamine sulpiride.</p>orexinorexin receptorsdopaminefood addictionhypothalamusорексинрецепторы орексинадофаминпищевая зависимостьгипоталамус[Lebedev AA, Bessolova YuN, Bychkov ER, Shabanov PD.
