Figure 6. EGR-1 expression in VAN of DIO rats.

Figure 6

A) Protein expression of EGR-1 in VANs of LF, DR and DIO rats treated with leptin. B) Densitometry analysis of A showing that EGR-1 levels in VAN are significantly reduced in DIO rats compared to LF and DR rats. N = 3. C) and D) Quantification of the number of EGR-1 immunopositive neurons in cultured VAN from DR rats (C) and DIO rats (D) fed a high fat diet for 8 weeks. C) Leptin reduced the concentration of CCK required to induce EGR-1 translocation in cultured VAN. D) Leptin had no effect on CCK induced EGR-1 translocation in cultured VAN. N = 6. Data expressed as mean ± SEM. Significant differences were represented as a,b,c between groups.
