Data shown in Table 1 represent the EC50 of dose–response curves in Figure 5 and Figure 6. Numbers in brackets are with the 95% confidence intervals of nonlinear fittings. One-way ANOVA and Tukey post-tests were employed to measure the significance between the MC4R expression alone group (1:0) and the experimental groups. ns (not significant difference), * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
