STAT3 phosphorylation in the VTA following treatment for 14 days with rAAV-Control vector (open bars), rAAV-leptin into the VTA (solid bars) or rAAV-Leptin VTA/Antg MBH (hatched bars). STAT3 phosphorylation represents that stimulated by leptin gene delivery. No further exogenous leptin was administered. Data is expressed as the ratio of STAT3 Phosphorylation to G3PDH.

Values represent the mean ± SE of 6-8 rats per group. The value of rAAV-Control for each individual tissue is arbitrarily set to 100 with SE adjusted proportionally with remaining groups normalized to the level in rAAV-Control. P< 0.05 for difference with vector treatment by one-way ANOVA; *P<0.05 for difference from rAAV-Control by Newman-Keuls post-hoc analysis.
