Figure 5.

The effect of four taste mixture solutions on the release of histamine in the anterior hypothalamus of intact (n = 6) and chorda tympani-transected (CTX) rats (n = 5) [Treesukosol et al. (2003)]. The arrow indicates the time point of taste stimuli. The average mean value in the first three samples preceding taste stimuli was taken as 100%. Values are presented as percentages of the mean basal release ± SEM ^**p < 0.01, ^*p < 0.05 compared with the basal release of each group, respectively.
