Body weight gain after NPY–SAP or B-SAP infusion into the hypothalamus. A, Weekly body weight (g) changes of male rats after bilateral infusion of NPY–SAP or control blank SAP (B-SAP) into the basomedial hypothalamus, just dorsal to the Arc. B, Body weight (g) of male and female rats at the conclusion of the experiment, 10–12 weeks after NPY–SAP or B-SAP infusion into the hypothalamus. (n = 3–5 rats for each group; #P < 0.005; *P < 0.001; unpaired t-test vs. B-SAP rats).
