Fig. 5. THe mRNA expression levels of DNA damage response and cytokine genes are upregulated in aged hypothalamic nuclei.

Fig. 5

The mRNA expression levels of genes associated with NAD+ consumption (Cd38, Parp1, and Sarm1; ac), DNA damage (p16; d), and inflammation (Tnfα; e) in the ARC, VMH, DMH, and LH of young (3 months) and old (18 months) mice are shown (n = 3–5). The expression levels of each gene are normalized to those in the ARC of young mice. *p ≤ 0.05 **p ≤ 0.01 ***p ≤ 0.001 ****p ≤ 0.0001 by unpaired Student’s t-test. Error bars indicate s.e.m.
