Exercise activates a distinct subset of neurons in VMH. Diagram of the mouse brain depicting the hypothalamus (A). Quantitative analysis of FosB IR of the dmVMH from SC, EC, SH, and EH groups (B) and representative corresponding IHC images (C). Quantitative analysis of FosB IR of the dmVMH of SC, SH, EH, and SR groups (D) and representative corresponding IHC images (E). Each value is the mean ± sem for n = 5–7 mice per group. B: *, P < 0.05, significantly different from SC control; **, P < 0.05, significantly different from SH mice by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test; D: *, P < 0.05, by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test. v, Ventricle (third).
