c-Fos expression in αMSH neurons of the Arcuate nucleus in rats receiving enterostatin into the Amygdala.
| Treatment | c-fos neurons | αMSH neurons | c-fos/αMSH Neurons | Colocalization % fos/MSH | Colocalization % fos/MSH |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saline | 12 ± 4 | 36 ± 4 | 5 ± 2 | 12.7 ± 3.5 | 29.0 ± 4.2 |
| Enterostatin | 28 ± 4** | 33 ± 2 | 23 ± 4** | 68.8 ± 8.0** | 45.4 ± 1.1** |
Values represent Means ± SEM of identified neurons in the Arcuate nucleus for 4 rats in each group. Two represenative sections from each rat were counted.
p<0.01 compared to saline group.
