Experiment 2: Central leptin signalling parameters at day 7 following SLR central infusion (4.3 µg·day−1)
| Control | Leptin | Leptin + SLR | |
|---|---|---|---|
| p-STAT3 | 100.0 ± 8.7 | 97.5 ± 7.0 | 100.0 ± 7.9 |
| POMC expression | 100.0 ± 7.4 | 91.6 ± 6.2 | 99.13 ± 5.6 |
| NPY expression | 100.0 ± 2.5 | 97.0 ± 2.5 | 101.6 ± 3.9 |
| AgRP expression | 100.0 ± 2.6 | 100.0 ± 2.7 | 99.0 ± 3.1 |
Values are mean ± SE of 6–7 animals in each group, in arbitrary units. p-STAT3, phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3; POMC, pre-opiomelanocortin; NPY, neuropeptide Y; AgRP, agouti-related protein. P > 0.05 among all groups.
