Percent change in body weights of rats over time after intra-NAc injections of either CART shRNA or scrambled RNA (control). A 2-way ANOVA shows that there is a significant difference between rats injected with CART shRNA (n = 3) and controls (n = 3) (F 1, 92 = 50.09, *** p < 0.0001). Bonferroni post tests showed significant differences between treatments at 21–23 weeks (*p < 0.05). At 23 weeks, rats treated with CART shRNA or control RNA had gained 208 ± 9 g or 170 ± 22 g respectively over their weight at entry into the vivarium. CART shRNA-injected rats show a significant increase in percent weight gain compared to controls. The arrows show the time points when the rats were administered saline and cocaine (i.e. at 8, 14 and 23 weeks).
