Figure 4. Mu-opioid receptor mRNA levels as measured by in situ hybridization in groups after 6 weeks on the feeding schedules.

Figure 4

Data is expressed as percentage of hybridization levels measured in Naive controls, represented as dotted line in both graphs. A: Percent hybridization measured in the nucleus of solitary tract at the level of the area postrema. Binge access group has reduced mRNA levels compared with Scheduled Access and Naive animals (*, p< 0.05). Continuous Access group had reduced mRNA levels compared with Chow Restricted, Schedule Access, and Naive groups (#, p < 0.05). B: Percent hybridization measured in the nodose ganglion of the vagus nerve. Chow Restricted group had increased mRNA levels compared with Binge Access, Continuous Access, and Schedule Access groups (*, p<0.05). Mean ± SE.
