Background Clinical and preclinical research indicates that gastric weight loss surgeries, such as Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass surgery, can induce alcohol use disorder (AUD). While numerous mechanisms have been proposed for these effects, one relatively unexplored potential mechanism is physical damage to the gastric branch of the vagus nerve, which can occur during bypass surgery. Therefore, we hypothesized that direct damage to the gastric branch of the vagus nerve, without altering other aspects of gastric anatomy, could result in increased alcohol intake. Methods To test this hypothesis, we compared alcohol intake and preference in multiple models in male Sprague–Dawley rats that received selective gastric branch vagotomy (VX) with rats who underwent sham surgery. Because the vagus nerve regulates hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis function, and alterations to HPA function are critical to the escalation of non‐dependent alcohol intake, we also tested the hypothesis that gastric VX increases HPA function. Results We found that VX increases alcohol intake and preference in the every‐other‐day, two‐bottle choice test and increases preference for 1 g/kg alcohol in the conditioned place preference test. The effects were selective for alcohol, as sucrose intake and preference were not altered by VX. We also found that VX increases corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) mRNA in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), increases putative PVN CRF neuronal action potential firing, and increases corticosterone levels. Conclusions Overall, these findings suggest that the vagus nerve may play a critical role in regulating HPA axis function via modulation of PVN CRF mRNA expression and putative PVN CRF neuronal activity. Furthermore, disruptions to vagal regulation of HPA axis function may increase alcohol intake and preference. |
