Effect of acute ALC exposure on basal and IGF-1 stimulated RPTPβ gene expressions in the MBH as determined by real-time PCR. The RPTPβ gene expression was assessed in the MBH at 6 h post IGF-1 injection. The IGF-1 induced an increase in the expression of the RPTPβ gene compared with the basal level shown in the controls. Note that the basal expression of the RPTPβ gene was not altered by ALC alone, but that the presence of ALC blocked the IGF-1 induced expression of the gene. The respective bars illustrate the mean (±SEM) of an N of 8–10 per group. **p<0.01 as assessed by ANOVA, with post-hoc testing using Student-Newman-Keuls.
