mRNA expression of neurotropic factors and cytokines in the hypothalamus. The mRNA expression of neurotropic factors and cytokines in the hypothalamus, including NGF, BDNF, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, NPY and POMC were compared between the Cisplatin + CV12 group and the Cisplatin group. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for comparison. Groups: Cisplatin, control group in the cisplatin injection-induced anorexia rat model; Cisplatin + CV12, CV12 electroacupuncture group in the cisplatin injection-induced anorexia rat model. NGF, nerve growth factor; BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor α; IL-6, interleukin 6; NPY, neuropeptide Y; POMC, pro-opiomelanocortin. *P<0.05.
