Figure 4 Effect of fasting on appetite-related gene expression in hypothalamus. Fasting (48 h)-induced change in gene expression of appetite-related genes (A: NPY; B: AgRP; C: CART; D: POMC) in Y5-KO mice was measured in the hypothalamus and change in signal intensity was quantitated in panel E at 10 wk old. 3v: Third ventricle; NPY: neuropeptide Y; AgRP: agouti-related protein; MCH: melanin-concentrating hormone; CART: cocaine-amphetamine-regulated transcript; POMC: proopiomelanocortin.
