Figure 6. Effect of Food Deprivation With or Without Glucose Water on Pituitary Leptin mRNA and Cells with Leptin mRNA.

Figure 6

Tests of a second group of fasted rats that received 10% glucose water during the 24 h period of food deprivation. Figure 6A illustrates the recovery in leptin mRNA assayed by QRT-PCR in whole pituitary mRNA extracts from these groups. Figure 6B illustrates the losses in leptin and LH mRNA, as detected by in situ hybridization and the recovery in fasted rats receiving glucose.
