Dietary soybean oil (SO) dysregulates hypothalamic gene expression and plasma levels of oxytocin. C57BL/6N male mice fed Viv chow, CO, SO + CO, PL + CO, or ST + CO diets for 17 to 28 weeks. A, Transcript levels of Oxt, expressed relative to β-actin (Actb) measured in hypothalamic homogenates using reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and expressed relative to levels in CO using the Pfaffl method (N = 3-6/diet). B, Peripheral oxytocin peptide levels measured via EIA, (N = 3-10/diet). Statistically different from: #CO; @@@PL + CO; ^SO + CO and PL + CO (single symbols, P < .05; triple symbols P < .001) using 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey post hoc analysis for A and one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc analysis for B.
