Quantitative comparison of the mRNA expression of renin-angiotensin system components, proinflammatory cytokines and microglial marker in the lamina terminalis (LT, Fig 6A) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN, Fig 6B) of rats receiving central (ICV) infusion of leptin, or leptin plus TNF-α synthesis inhibitor pentoxifylline (PTX), AT1-R blocker irbesartan (Irbe) or inhibitor of microglial activation minocycline (Mino) during induction (I). (* p<0.05 vs ICV vehicle, # p<0.05 vs ICV leptin).
