Figure 5. CXCL14 deficiency attenuates fasting-induced up-regulation of Npy and Agrp mRNAs in the hypothalamus.

Figure 5

Relative mRNA expression levels of appetite-regulating molecules (Npy, Agrp, Pomc, Socs3 and Cart) in the hypothalami of female CXCL14 +/+ and CXCL14 −/− mice. Eighteen to 22 week-old mice were used. GAPDH was used as the normalization control. Each data point represents the mean ± SEM (n = 3). *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; n.s., not significant compared to the corresponding value for CXCL14 +/+ control mice.
