Receptor specificity for SPX regulation of hypothalamic expression of orexigenic factors and their receptors. IP injection of SPX (5 nmol/mouse) was performed in mice with/without the co-treatment of the GalR2 antagonist M871 (50 nmol/mouse) or GalR3 antagonist SNAP (50 nmol/mouse). The hypothalamus was harvested one hour later after IP injection. Total RNA was isolated and subjected to real-time PCR for transcript expression of NPY (A), AgRP (B), NPY5R (C) and GHSR (D), respectively with β actin mRNA as internal control. The groups denoted by different letters represent a significant difference at p < 0.05.
