Microarray experiment comparing expression of genes in hypothalami of wild-type mice and of mice lacking Creb only in VMH neurons. (A,B) Heat map of the microarray analysis of four wild-type hypothalami versus hypothalami of theee mice lacking Creb only in VMH neurons (CrebSf1−/− mice). Genes significantly (P < 0.05) up-regulated (A) or down-regulated (B) in hypothalamus of CrebSf1−/− mice compared with that of wild-type littermates. These genes are ordered by fold change from maximum to the threshold of 1.20. The list of the genes up-regulated or down-regulated are mentioned in the last column. (C,D) Real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis of Th (C) and Bche (D) expression in hypothalami of wild-type (WT), CrebSf1−/−, Htr2c−/−, Tph2−/−, and Htr2c+/−; CrebSf1+/− mice at 12 wk of age.
