Figure 6

Effects of corticosterone implants on hypothalamic gene expression. Corticosterone implants induces both hypothalamic AGRP (A) and POMC (B) mRNA. (C) NPY mRNA is also elevated by corticosterone implants but the effect did not reach statistical significance. Data are expressed as a mean percentage ± SEM of placebo implant group. Statistical significance was determined by unpaired student's t-test (p < 0.05) and is denoted by *.
