DIO Induces Loss of MC4R-HA Specific to PVN in Male and Female MC4R-HA+/- Mice
(A–C) Confocal microscopy of brain sections derived from male MC4R-HA+/- mice immunostained with anti-HA. PVN, LFD, n = 8 and HFD, n = 9 (A); LOT, LFD, n = 5, HFD, n = 6 (B); SON, LFD, n = 8, HFD, n = 9 (C).
(D–F) Confocal microscopy of brain sections derived from female MC4R-HA+/- mice immunostained with anti-HA. PVN, LFD, n = 8, HFD, n = 9 (D); LOT, LFD, n = 5, HFD, n = 6 (E); SON, LFD, n = 7, HFD, n = 9 (F). Data were from 4 MIP per mouse; data in graphs are normalized; scale bar, 80 μm. ∗∗∗∗, p<0.0001. Data are represented as mean values +/- SD.
