Effect of dietary bovine lactoferrin on hypothalamic gene expression of pro-opiomelanocortin (Pomc) (a), neuropeptide Y (Npy) (b), leptin receptor (Obr) (c), corticotropin releasing hormone (Crh) (d), and arginine vasopressin receptor 1a (V1a) (e). Data is represented as mean values ± SEM (n = 8). Different letters indicate significant differences, and significance is determined at P < 0.05. Abbreviations: LFD, 10 % energy fat diet with 20 % energy casein; HFD, 45 % energy fat diet with 20 % energy casein; HFD + Lac, 45 % energy fat diet with 20 % energy lactoferrin
