Semiquantitative RT-PCR for CART mRNA and TRH mRNA in the PVN of lactating rats exposed to cold (A, C) or suckling (B, D) stimulation. Densitometric analysis showed a significant increase in the PVN for CART mRNA after 1hr of cold stimulation and a tendency to decrease after 30’ of suckling (optical density = Arbitrary units). TRH mRNA was significantly increased after cold or suckling stimulation. A total of 5 animals per group were analyzed in each condition. t-Test * P < 0.05 statistically different from control RT animals
