A) Compared to rats fed ad libitum, 24h food deprivation increased pAMPKα levels in NTS-enriched tissue (dorsovagal complex, DVC). These data indicate that pAMPKα levels in DVC and liver tissues are similarly responsive to energy status, with food deprivation increasing pAMPKα in both the liver (control) and NTS by approximately 25%. (B) Elevated pAMPKα levels in NTS-enriched tissue of 48h food deprived rats is reduced following a 2h reefed. Representative immunoblots for total AMPK and pAMPKα are shown. * = P< 0.05.
